ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Maverick McNealy guessed that in his mind he had made a putt to win a PGA Tour over a thousand times. On Sunday, the 29-year-old stuffed a 6-iron from 183 yards on the par-4 18th hole at Sea Island’s Seaside Course to set up a 5-foot, 5-inch putt for his first victory at the 2024 RSM Classic.

It took a lot for Maverick McNealy to win his first PGA Tour event at the RSM Classic. Nico Echavarria and Luke Clanton each bogeyed the 18th to forge a four-way tie at 15 under. Daniel Berger missed makable birdie putts on the last two holes.

Maverick McNealy is finally a winner on the PGA Tour, and it took a shot he won't soon forget. McNealy was part of a four-way tie for the lead when he drilled a 6-iron to 5 feet on the final hole at Sea Island for birdie and a 68.
