Arjun Atwal clinches PGA tour title

Arjun Atwal became the first Indian and just the sixth Asian-born player to win on the PGA Tour when he secured a one-stroke victory at the Wyndham Championship

Arjun Atwal scripted history by becoming the first Indian golfer to clinch a US PGA Tour title as he lifted the Wyndham Championship trophy in Greensboro, regaining his playing card on the elite tour within weeks of losing it to poor form in a remarkable turnaround of fortune. But more importantly, the victory at Sedgefield Country Club earned him his status on the PGA Tour for the remainder of this year and the next two years as well. The triumph marks a remarkable recovery for Atwal, who lost his Tour card last month after coming up short on the Money List following the RBC Canadian Open. Before this, he had been laid low by a shoulder injury.
