Ryan Alford scored his first professional win at the APGA Tour Scottsdale which was held at the TPC Scottsdale in Arizona. The 24-year-old Alford, a former Louisiana Tech golfer and Shreveport native, defeated Knoxville's Marcus Byrd by 3 strokes and posted 9-under 133. He said during an interview that changing his mindset was the key to his victory, pointing back where he struggled to maintain a top-of-the-leaderboard status and eventually went down to finish at 6-over just this past week in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, Alford's renewed mental game has earned him his first and more wins will soon follow if he keeps playing on this kind of level.
