Hours After His Win, PGA Tour Pro Makes an Honest Confession About His Post Celebration ‘Headache’

If you asked a golf enthusiast to comment on the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, the Argentinian golfer’s name would surely top the list. That is how brilliant the performance of the 2015 Frys.com Open winner was. While the competition was fierce and dramatic, the 30-year-old fought tooth and nail to become the titlist. This sort of determination is utterly important when an individual shares the greens with the world’s renowned golfers.

Efforts and victories at this stage demand a celebration of the same standard. However, this may often lead to exertion and a dire need to rejuvenate oneself. Plus, if you add an unfortunate, out-of-your-control situation, it is bound to get more frustrating. Emiliano Grillo, though, seemed to have a different reaction when faced with a similar situation.

Emiliano Grillo makes an honest confession after his second PGA Tour win

Texas witnessed exceptional talent at Colonial Golf Course from May 25–28. Many great golfers like Adam Schenk, Harry Hall, Scottie Scheffler, and others engaged the viewers through spectacular putting and committed sportsmanship. Among them, Grillo also took to the fairway to showcase his skills and let the golf community know of his brilliance.

However, the high from his win was accompanied by a massive headache. As the golfer boarded his flight post-celebrations on Sunday from the United States, it was unfortunately met with a delay of two hours. Such situations usually do not sit well, especially if you have just returned from a draining competition.

Yet Grillo’s victory in Fort Worth was the source of his response to the discomfort he suffered. The reaction was beyond normal. He tweeted, “Seating on the plane with a 2 hour delay and a massive headache would s**k any day of the year. NOT TODAY.”

The confession of the Argentinian professional proved how delighted he was feeling after his Charles Schwab Challenge win. It was only natural for him to bask in the victory that greeted him after seven long years.

Argentinian pro’s performance at the Colonial Golf Course

Unquestionably, victory at the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge did not come easy for Grillo! On the 72nd hole, instead of claiming the iconic Leonard Trophy, he went on to concede a double bogey, giving away his two-stroke lead.

All the drama actually followed Grillo’s drive, which made the ball fall into a stream nearby. This led to a penalty stroke for the golfer. Eventually, shifting the leaderboard toward a tie between him and Adam Schenk, both at 8-under-par. But the Argentine’s aim for the trophy did not deter, in fact, in the two-hole playoff, he clinched the title with a putt that shot the ball within five feet of the hole.

While Grillo was able to strike near the second hole, Schenk couldn’t help but drive the ball over the greens. Ultimately, this pushed the results in favor of the Argentine. He was more than happy to welcome his second PGA Tour victory with a colossal amount of humble gratitude toward his loved ones.
