Uniontown’s Maxwell Moldovan claimed his first career victory as a professional on Sunday at the 70th ECP Brazil Open at the Rio Olympic Golf Course.
Moldovan entered the final round two strokes back of the lead, but was able to gain ground with three birdies on the back nine. After hitting the 587-yard par-5 18th fairway on his drive, Moldovan found the green on his second shot but was left with a 50-foot putt for eagle. Moldovan drained the putt to secure a one-stroke victory!
With the win, Moldovan secures exempt status on PGA TOUR Americas through the 2026 Latin America Swing and moves up to the No. 2 spot in the 2025 Fortinet Cup.
