What makes the win even more sweet for Kelly who is the first two-time winner in the tournaments history is that he won it on his home turf, with his family in the audience who he was able to celebrate with right away.

Kelly’s Sunday performance proved to be clutch as he had seven birdies, four of which over his final nine holes to come from behind and beat 2017 champion Fred Couples and Miguel Angel Jimenez by one stroke.

Loved this reaction from @jerrykelly13pga on the putt to save par at 17. Little spin and in, sigh of relief, a laugh and a kiss from the two-time AmFam Champ. pic.twitter.com/kDjrHyE9Hm
