Said Herman, ''Sorry for the tears, but I'm pretty happy. We really did a good job keeping our game plan. We wanted to give ourselves as many birdie chances as we could and keep it low stress. And geez, look what happened. Never thought it was possible.''
The Houston Open was a final opportunity for players to get into the Masters and Jim Herman fared very well against the big names. It was the third time since 2008 that a player won the Houston Open to get into the Masters.
The victory also gets Herman into the PGA Championship for the first time.
