New father Poston wins Schriners Children's Open....Pendrith 8th...Final Results

 PGA Tour : Shriners Children's Open..Past Results

JP Poston and his wife welcomed Katherine Scott Poston into their world back in March, their first child.

He hasn't played in a tournament since the BMW six weeks ago,, but he managed to hold off Doug Ghim by a shot with a final round -4 67 -22 for his 3rd PGA Tour win.

You wont be surprised to hear why this career journeyman managed to play so well this week, where he only made 3 bogeys

"I would say perspective ids the KEY to performing out here. At time's I was guilty of taking it all too seriously out here, often being too hard on myself. Since Scottie was born I have made a 180 turn, just finally realizing golf is not the most important thing. It's far from it honestly. 

Too have that extended time at home with them has been amazing. She changes every day,, every week so to be home with her and my wife has been incredible. This win has freed me up, to go home no matter how I play, I get to hold and hug her, that's now huge in my book."

Welcome to fatherhood JP...welcome to the winners circle..
