Has Billy Horschel won a major? Full list of PGA Tour wins, results for British Open leader | Sporting News United Kingdom

Heading into the weekend, the top of the 2024 British Open leaderboard consisted of a number of Europeans. Englishman Dan Brown led the field after Round 1 before Irishman Shane Lowry took over first place after the second. 

However, heading into the final round of golf on Sunday, it’s an American who sits in the driver’s seat at Royal Troon. 

Billy Horschel holds a one-stroke lead heading into the final round of the British Open. The Florida native is at 4-under after 54 holes in Scotland, looking to claim the 2024 Claret Jug. 

Horschel is no stranger to playing in majors. He has been a frequent participant for over a decade now, however, he has a chance to complete a first on Sunday. 

Here’s more on Horschel’s major history on the PGA Tour, as well as all of his career wins.

Has Billy Horschel won a major?

Horschel has not won a major yet during his time on the PGA Tour. He first made his major debut in 2006 as an amateur, missing the cut at the U.S. Open.

He did not get back to playing in another major until 2013, when he participated in his second U.S. Open. Horschel’s 67 in the second round helped him reach the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend.

He eventually finished at 5-over, good enough for a tie for fourth at Merion Golf Club. That remains his best finish in a major to this day and only one of two top-10 finishes in his major career, the other behind a tie for eighth at this year’s PGA Championship. 

Here is a look at his best finishes at each major.
