The Youngest Champ In PCA History Is Looking For A Second Title
We're not quite sure what happened to knock him down, but we do know that 2010 PCA Main Event winner Harrison Gimbel is down to about a third of the starting stack.
Although places like Las Vegas require participants to be 21 years old, the law in the Bahamas allows playing at 18, and in 2010 the then-19-year-old from Jupiter, Florida, navigated a field of 1,529 players, which created a $14,831,300 prize pool to win $2.2 million.
Gimbel won a $1,000 satellite the day before the Main Event and managed to parlay that into a $2.2 million payday and become the youngest winner in PCA history.
