Andrew Landry won the Valero Texas Open on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory, pulling away in San Antonio with early birdies and holding on with par saves.
The 30-year-old Texan, busy at home in Austin with the recent birth of the family's first child, parred the final seven holes for a 4-under-par 68 and a two-stroke victory over Trey Mullinax and Sean O'Hair.
"It was obviously a tough week this week," Landry said. "Going into the last few weeks with the childbirth and just really getting back out."
Landry played in college at Arkansas after starring at Port Neches-Groves High School east of Houston. Many family members were at TPC San Antonio on Sunday.
"Everybody was out," Landry said. "It was pretty special to be able to snag a victory with everybody being here to share it."
Landry finished at 17-under 271. He earned $1,116,000 and a spot in the Masters next year.
"I didn't even really think about it, to be honest with you," Landry said. "There's a lot of perks for a tour win and you've just got to continue to stay focused and not think about those kind of things."
Landry took a two-stroke lead to the par-5 18th after Mullinax chunked a flop shot and bogeyed the short par-4 17th. Landry hit a 55-foot putt over a ridge to 3 feet for par on 17 and made an 8-footer on 18 after running a 50-foot downhill birdie try past.
