PGA Tour rookie William Mouw overcomes seven-shot deficit to win ISCO Championship
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — William Mouw rallied to win the ISCO Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, shooting a 9-under 61 and waiting nearly two hours to see if his 10-under 270 total would hold up.
Mouw won when third-round leader Paul Peterson — who was playing the 10th hole at Hurstbourne Country Club when Mouw finished — missed a 55-foot birdie try from the front fringe on the par-4 18th.
Mouw won in his 20th start on the PGA Tour. The 24-year-old former Pepperdine player received a two-year exemption and a PGA Championship spot next year, but not a spot in the Masters.
Peterson shot a 69 to finish a stroke back in the opposite-field PGA Tour event also sanctioned by the European tour.
Mouw birdied the first three holes and added two more on Nos. 7-8 in a front-nine 30. He birdied Nos. 10, 11, 13 and 17 on the back nine in the lowest score in his brief PGA Tour career.
The 37-year-old Peterson, also making his 20th career PGA Tour start, made a 24-foot birdie putt on 14 and a 30-footer on 16, then parred the final two holes.
Manuel Elvira was third at 7 under at 66, and Vince Whaley (70) and David Skinns (70) followed at 6 under.
Auburn junior Jackson Koivun had a 68 to tie for sixth at 5 under. He tied for 11th last week in the John Deere Classic.
Chan Kim, five strokes ahead after opening rounds of 61 and 68, had weekend rounds of 75 and 73 to tie for 14th at 3 under.
Peterson and Kim were among the 12 players who finished the suspended third round Sunday morning.

Shane Lowry returns to Royal Portrush where a large mural honors his 2019 British Open win
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – Shane Lowry is glad he doesn't have to drive by his mural this week, which is located on the side of a house about a par 5 away from Royal Portrush and was unveiled a year ago ahead of the 153rd British Open. And, yes, he has received plenty of pictures of the mural depicting him hoisting the Claret Jug after winning the 2019 British Open at Royal Portrush. No need to send them to him anymore. 'Everyone that comes up here sends me pictures standing beside it. Some of them I can't say what they were doing in it,' he said on Monday during a press conference. 'But it is very special. I've done something special in my life.' Lowry didn't know what to make of the mural at first. He doesn't look at himself as someone worthy of being celebrated as a national hero. He's just Shane. 'I'm just myself. I just happen to be OK at golf and lucky enough that I got to achieve some pretty cool things. Honestly, that's how I feel about it,' he said. Lowry also knows that six years have come and gone ad he hasn't added to his major title. He only has one PGA Tour victory since – a team title with Rory McIlroy at the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Having won at Portrush in a rout by six strokes was the culmination of a lifetime dream and he celebrated into the wee hours of the morning. Video of him singing at the Harbour Bar and elsewhere went viral. 'I've always been a firm believer that when you win, you need to try and celebrate those victories. So I did that that night,' he said. But what he achieved here in 2019 is in the past. He's enjoyed being home in Ireland for the past three weeks for the first time since Christmas and set up shop last week in Waterville to practice. He ticked off rounds he played at Portmarnock, The Island, Baltray, Waterville, Hogs Head and Adare Manor. 'So I've played some of the best courses we have in the country,' he said. The only problem? He said he's been playing too well. When he won in 2019, he was down in the dumps and feeling rotten about his chances until he went for a drink with his coach, Neil Manchip, who set him straight. So, Lowry has a pretty good idea what he needs to do to prepare properly. ' I just need to play shit for the next couple of days, and I'll be all right,' he cracked. 'No matter what I done then, it doesn't give me any God-given right to do anything special this week. I just need to get my head down on Thursday morning and get after it and see what happens.'

Hugh Freeze Breaks Silence on Backlash for his Golfing
Hugh Freeze Breaks Silence on Backlash for his Golfing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze enters the 2025 season with an 11-14 record and one bowl game appearance. Advertisement Freeze has been doing some golfing recently, which sparked outrage from fans, given that he has not had a winning season with Auburn yet. He addressed the concerns on a recent episode of "See Ball Get Ball with David Pollack," emphasizing his commitment to the Tigers. Auburn went to a bowl game in Freeze's first season with the program in 2023 but lost to the Maryland Terrapins in the Music City Bowl 31-13. In 2024, Auburn narrowly missed the postseason after losing the final game of the regular season to the Alabama Crimson Tide 28-14.

I enjoy playing, but what people don't realize is, you know, I assure you that I never missed a camp day or a recruiting day, but if camp got over at three o'clock one day, and Jill and I go out at 4:30, we absolutely might do that. And I'm not apologizing for that part of it. But my focus is 100% on getting Auburn in that win column this fall." Advertisement The 2025 season has not officially kicked off, but Auburn has already had a tough time lately, especially when it comes to recruiting. The Tigers have lost Shadarius Toodle to the Georgia Bulldogs, Devin Carter to the Florida State Seminoles and most recently Denairius Gray to the Kentucky Wildcats. Freeze and Auburn face the Baylor Bears to open the year on August 29. Kick off is at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
