Jim Herman’s first win on the PGA Tour couldn’t have come at a better time.
Herman won the Shell Houston Open after shooting a 4-under 68 on Sunday to earn the final spot in The Masters next week.
It will be the first time playing in the Masters for Herman, who has played at Augusta before with friends, but never in a tournament.

Nothing better than a Bearcat rocking it in Houston, still had a Bearcat head cover. As an ex UC golfer and ball player this is just awesome, he was also an asst. pro in the 90's at once was my home course here in western Hamilton County.

His playing partner really helped by hitting short almost directly on the same line on their approach. That's when I knew he'd make his 2 putt with no problem being able to see his opponent's line and speed.

Always helps, doesn't it.
West Side Best Side lol.
“I worked at Trump National and met some really nice people, played a lot of golf and played with Mr. Trump, and he gave me a lot of confidence, you know,” said Herman, who is playing in his sixth full year on the PGA Tour. “He gave me a little shot in the arm.
“ … You know, if I wouldn't have got through (Q-School), I would have been fine, you know, being a club professional. I love this game of golf. I always knew I had the talent to get out here, but when you don't get out here, what else are you going to do? No one is going to let you come out here.
“ … (Trump) helped me financially. He wrote me a check.”

Those guys are good enough to do something like that on purpose. Had I attempted to help him out there'd have been a splash.
Herman leading the Masters---- -2 after 2 holes.

Hey Jim, @gohermie, it's customary for a Herman that wins a championship in H-Town to get a grill. #JustSayin Congrats. Good luck at Augusta
