This weekendβs sports news and what to watch this week
GOLF
Jake Knapp secures his first PGA Tour victory at the Mexico Open. Not a dominant performance but it was enough to hold on to a 2-stroke victory.
Jake Knapp ran out of money while trying to qualify for the PGA Tour, so he spent 9 months working as a bouncer at a nightclub to keep his dream alive.
Now, just 2 years later, he has won the PGA Tour's Mexico Open, taking home $1.45 million.
It also got him into the Masters.
