CBS Sports wrote:Not only did he contend on the weekend, he became just the second golfer this season to go wire-to-wire with no ties at a PGA Tour event (the other was Brooks Koepka at the PGA Championship) for his first victory in the big leagues.
CBS Sports wrote:Lashley's story is an incredible one, both in the macro and micro sense. His bigger narrative has been told, and you've likely caught at least bits and pieces. The synopsis is that in 2004, he lost his parents and girlfriend in a plane crash and never truly recovered.
CBS Sports wrote:The micro is less dramatic and less improbable, but also pretty amazing. Lashley wasn't even supposed to be in this tournament. He tried to Monday qualify, didn't make it and only got a slot when there was a WD earlier in the week!
