"The headline was that Nico Echavarria won the Zozo Championship in Japan for his first PGA Tour victory. The subhead is that Justin Thomas lost by one when he had a chance to win. Which is more newsworthy?"

That Nico headline is FAR more newsworthy, because it's FALSE. Nico won the 2023 Puerto Rico Open. I mean, that was less than two years ago, and EASY to find, if the headline writer were an actual journalist.

Tony Finau and Viktor Hovland ALSO count their Puerto Rico Open victories as their "first PGA Tour victories". Good grief.

Yes, it was his second PGA Tour win. It was honest mistake, and we all make them, including yourself in your response. It's been corrected. Thank you.

Except I'm not a journalist, and I don't have editors or proofreaders. Also, I was criticizing the headline writer, not you. Finally, what was my mistake?
