It’s not the claret jug they were playing for, but it’s fair to say that a victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship on Sunday was also life changing for Stefano Mazzoli. The 29-year-old Italian had only played twice previously in a PGA Tour event, and the only victories he had prior to Sunday in the Dominican Republic was a trio of Ws on the Alps Tour. Suffice it to say, he was pretty emotional after a final-round 66 at Puntacana Resort gave him a one-shot win over Todd Clements and Gordon Sargent.
