Fresh off his first professional victory last week, Joey Garber will highlight the field in the Web.com Tour's Rust-Oleum Championship in Ilinois.

Last week, Garber won the Rex Hospital Open in North Carolina. Garber, who had an All-America career from 2012-14 for the Bulldogs, carded rounds of 66-65-69-66 at TPC Wakefield Plantation. He finished one shot clear of Hank Lebioda and Scott Langley.

“To get a win on this Tour is definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life,” Garber said. “To come through today, this early in the season, in my first year out here, and in my first time in the final group, it means everything to me. It just proves what I believed in myself. I’m very excited with my game and where we’re headed for the rest of the year.

“It means everything [to be here after Q-School in December],” he said. “I’d been close in the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament a few times and ended up just a couple of shots short twice, so to get through this year was a huge jump for me. I did not want to be doing Monday qualifiers again this year. I’ve done enough of those, so hopefully I’m headed in the right direction. This is huge for me and I’m pumped.”
