He shot a 6-under-par 65 on Sunday, holding off J.L. Lewis and Hank Kuehne to win the John Deere Classic for his first career victory. The rookie, who turns 23 on Monday and was making only his 18th career start, finished with a 16-under 268.
So steady all day, O'Hair made things interesting at the end. After a birdie on 17, he had to scramble on 18 after nearly putting his ball in the water. With the ball on the hazard line, O'Hair chipped within 10 feet to make par.
'(On) 18, especially a guy in my situation who never won before, you're definitely almost puking,' he said, laughing. 'My hands were so sweaty, I was more concerned about keeping my hands dry than anything.' "
