10. His first win on the PGA Tour came at the 2019 Sanderson Farms Championship. He beat Sungjae Im in a playoff and said after that he used Phil Mickelson as inspiration during some of his recovery and escape shots. He hit just 52% of fairways for the week and one big moment on Sunday came at the 6th hole.
His ball hit a tree and ricocheted back toward the tee box, traveling barely more than 200 yards. He had 260 remaining to the hole, but instead of pitching out to the right he pulled 3-wood, aimed even farther left and launched a massive slicing approach toward the green.
“If I just slice it, which is the shot I feel more comfortable with, fade instead of draw, I could give myself a chance,” Munoz told reporters afterward. “… [It] just reminded me of Phil [Mickelson]. What would Phil do?”
