Column: Van Rooyen is a PGA Tour winner again. He prizes relationships as much as trophies
Erik van Rooyen has played tournament golf long enough to realize his best golf — whether that's over four rounds or nine holes — can show up without notice. Good timing has been on his side in his two PGA Tour victories. Van Rooyen was No. 139 in the FedEx Cup and down to his last two starts in 2021 when he won the Barracuda Championship, not only securing his card for the next two years but sending him on a heater that took him all the way to East Lake for the Tour Championship.
