Ryggs Johnston, a 24-year-old professional golfer and 2019 graduate of Libby High School, won the 107th Australian Open golf tournament last weekend with a score of 269. That finish of 18 strokes under par gave him a three-stroke margin of victory to edge out Australian golfer Curtis Luck.

Johnston, an unheralded American player, celebrated his first professional victory Sunday with a three-stroke triumph in the Australian Open, while South Korea's Jiyai Shin became a two-time winner of the Women's Australian Open, which was played concurrently at two courses on the famed Melbourne Sandbelt.

Unheralded American Ryggs Johnston won his first professional title Sunday by closing with a 4-under 68 at Kingston Heath for a three-shot victory in the Australian Open. The Arizona State alum was among three players to earn a spot in the British Open.

Unheralded American Ryggs Johnston can barely believe the company he's now in after crashing the party with a stunning and most improbable Australian Open triumph in Melbourne.
