Bud Cauley finally gets what he deserves with maiden PGA Tour victory, plus a check-in on US Open expectations

Every PGA Tour season is different, but also the same. We get different winners at various events throughout the year, and each of those winners carries a different story as to how they found their way into the winner's circle on the PGA Tour. Another tournament, another winner, another unique story, repeat. It's the story — whatever it may be — that draws us into all sports, but especially so with golf, and 2026 has already produced enough Hollywood-esque finishes for a multi-part documentary.
