Davis Riley is the first Crimson Tide product to win the Charles Schwab Challenge or any of its sponsored titles over the years.
Former Alabama golf standout Davis Riley won the highly coveted Charles Schwab Challenge on Sunday with a final score of 14-under par. Riley finished with five fewer strokes than second-place Keegan Bradley and the world's No. 1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler.
Riley becomes the first former Alabama golfer to win the Charles Schwab Challenge or any of its sponsored titles over the years. The 27-year-old finished with scores of 66, 64 and 66 over the first three days respectively. However, his stellar numbers would stop there as he finished Sunday even par . Nevertheless, his dominance over the first three days was clearly more than enough to not be too flustered on Day 4.
Riley, who turned professional in 2019, has only been on the PGA Tour since 2021 after spending two years on the Korn Ferry Tour. He's won the 2023 Zurich Classic of New Orleans with partner Nick Hardy, the Panama Championship and the TPC San Antonio Championship . The Mississippi native enrolled at Alabama in 2015.
