Davis Riley secured his first individual victory on the PGA Tour at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. Despite facing personal challenges with his sister's health, Riley persevered and finished five strokes ahead of the world's No. 1 player and Keegan Bradley.

After receiving news of his sister's seizure and subsequent brain tumor surgery, Riley wasn't certain about participating in the tournament. However, his sister's successful surgery and encouragement from his family motivated him to compete.

Riley maintained his lead throughout the final round, shooting even-par 70 to finish at 14-under 266. His closest competitors, Scott Scheffler and Keegan Bradley, were unable to catch up due to challenging weather conditions and firm greens.

Despite a bogey on the second hole, Riley's steady performance secured him the victory. His win at the historic Colonial earned him $1,638,000, a winner's plaid jacket, and a fully restored 1975 Stingray car.
