There was a lot going through my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lashley closed with a 2-under 70 to finish at 25-under 263 and win by six shots, the margin he took into the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">His parents and girlfriend were killed in a plane crash 15 years ago. He dabbled in real estate after graduating from the University of Arizona, briefly quit playing professional golf several years ago and resumed playing in the PGA Tour\u2019s minor leagues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWithout my parents, I wouldn\u2019t have started playing golf when I was little,\u201d said Lashley, who began playing when he was 8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Monday qualifier Doc Redman shot a 67 to finish second. Rory Sabbatini (68) and Wes Roach (68) were another stroke back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The 36-year-old Lashley, the 353rd ranked player in the world, slipped into PGA Tour\u2019s first event in Detroit as an alternate Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s a great story \u2014 last man in the field,\u201d he said. \u201cI was happy to get in the field. And to win it, it\u2019s a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Nebraskan took full advantage of the opportunity, shooting a career-low 63 in the first round to take a lead he refused to lose. Lashley stayed atop the leaderboard with a 67 on Friday and gave himself a cushion with another 9-under 63 Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">On the brink of breaking through during his second PGA Tour season, his sister, girlfriend, buddies and family friends flew to Detroit to join him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Brooke Lashley, who lives near her younger brother in Arizona, was in awe of as fans followed and cheered for her little brother as they stood along the ropes from tee to green.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019m sure a lot of these people didn\u2019t know him a couple days ago,\u201d she said, standing near the No. 8 green. \u201cHe\u2019s doing all he can to focus, but this is so incredible. It\u2019s foreign to him because he\u2019s never had this much attention. He\u2019s never played in front of a gallery like this with TV cameras all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">His parents, Rod and Char Lashley, and girlfriend Leslie Hofmeister, all of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, were missing for three days before their bodies and the wreckage were found near the 13,780-foot Gannett Peak in Wyoming after watching him play in a tournament for the University of Arizona in 2004.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt rocked our community,\u201d recalled Helen Reinhardt, a family friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Reinhardt and her husband, Jim, boarded a charter plane in Nebraska that stopped in Minnesota to pick up Lashley\u2019s girlfriend, Ashlie Reed, and arrived in the Motor City on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s great to be here to watch his dream come true after watching him play in the Dakotas Tour and work his way up to here,\u201d said Jeff Peck, one of about a dozen of Lashley\u2019s friends at Detroit Golf Club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">When Lashley was flipping houses, he thought his playing career was over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lashley gave the game another shot, playing on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica circuit in 2015 and moved up to what is now called the Korn Ferry Tour two years later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">He made his PGA Tour debut last season in his mid-30s, but he had to end his year after 17 events because of a knee injury. He tied for eighth in February in the Puerto Rico Open \u2014 played opposite the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship \u2014 for his only top-10 finish previously on the tour. He started the tournament No. 132 in the FedEx Cup standings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lashley would\u2019ve had to collapse and one of the contenders would\u2019ve had to have a sensational performance to put the final result in doubt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Neither happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">He made a slow-rolling, downhill putt from 15 feet to birdie the first hole. At No. 3, he started confidently walking toward the cup before his 10-foot birdie putt went in to put him at 25 under.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThe birdies on 1 and 3 really calmed me down,\u201d Lashley said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lashley had two bogeys on the front nine \u2014 one more than he had the previous three rounds \u2014 and coasted to victory on the back with two birdies and no bogeys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Family and friends stood near the edge of the green as he closed out the round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lashley\u2019s girlfriend and sister, choking back tears, went onto the green to give him a hug.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019m just real emotional,\u201d he said later. \u201cI\u2019m just thankful I got in the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP golf: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/apf-Golf\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/apf-Golf<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Follow Larry Lage at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LarryLage\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/LarryLage<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/lashley-leads-wire-to-wire-in-detroit-for-1st-pga-tour-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nate Lashley, left, hugs his girlfriend Ashlie Reed on the 18th green after winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament, Sunday, June 30, 2019, in Detroit.
