Dicky Pride carried motivational note predicting Web.com Tour win

Sometimes, all it takes to do something is belief, persistence and patience.

At 46, Dicky Pride earned his 2015-16 PGA Tour status on Sunday in the final regular-season event on the Web.com Tour, winning the WinCo Foods Portland Open for his first professional win in some 21 years. He jumped from 40th on the money list to fifth, guaranteeing him one of 25 PGA Tour cards up for grabs from the season-long money list.

The journeyman knew this was coming, or at least that's what he was telling himself with a card he'd carried in his wallet for most of the Web.com Tour season, which he shared on Twitter after his win.

The three-shot win sends Pride back to the PGA Tour, while Tim Herron, who finished second and three behind Pride, jumped up from outside the Web.com Tour Finals into the 32nd spot with a chance to earn one of the 25 PGA Tour cards available in the four-event series that runs concurrently alongside the remainder of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs.
