In just his second start as an official member of the PGA Tour, Matt McCarty has claimed his first trophy. Reaching 23 under for the tournament, McCarty put some ground between himself and the field across four days in Utah to achieve a three-stroke victory over Stephan Jaeger at the 2024 Black Desert Championship.

In just his second start as a PGA TOUR member, Matt McCarty captured victory at the inaugural Black Desert Championship on Sunday. The 26-year-old, who plays from the other side of the ball, closed in 4-under 67 at Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah, to post 23-under 261, good for a three-stroke margin.

McCarty won three times in a span of six events on the Korn Ferry Tour to earn a promotion to the PGA Tour and in just his second start in the big leagues, he returned to the winner’s circle with a 72-hole total of 23-under 261 and a three-shot victory over Stephan Jaeger.
