Former Alabama Crimson Tide star Davis Riley continues to shine on the PGA Tour. He brought some special stuff this week at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. Riley finished with an impressive 14-under par for the weekend, winning by five strokes over second place, Keegan Bradley and Scottie Scheffler. Both of those two were tied for second at 9-under.
The 27-year old won his second tournament on the PGA Tour on Sunday. It was just his 90th start on tour.
It’s the first individual stroke play title for Riley on the PGA Tour. His other title came in the 2023 Zurich Classic, when he won with partner Nick Hardy.
No question about it, it’s a massive moment for Riley’s career. Defeating world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by five strokes is no easy feat. And the former Alabama star made it look easy all weekend long. Riley had a seven-shot lead with 36 holes remaining. And he never really sweated it out at all down the stretch. His odds were 300-1 to win the tournament.
