Who is the wife of PGA Tour star Austin Eckroat? Meet Sally Eckroat...
Austin Eckroat has captured his maiden PGA Tour title at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, so what better time to meet his wife, Sally.
Eckroat, 25, only turned pro in 2021 and he then earned his PGA Tour card for 2023.
He carded a final-round 67 to win by three shots in a Monday finish at PGA National.
The event was pushed into a fifth day after heavy rain and lightning wiped out three hours of play on Sunday.
Eckroat held a narrow one-shot lead when he returned to the 8th hole on Monday morning, and he then surged clear to win by three.
The field contained Rory McIlroy.

Sally attended the University of Oklahoma in 2017 where she graduated with a bachelor's in public relations and business marketing.
She also pursued a number of different jobs during her degree, working with the university's Dance Marathon event to raise money for the Oklahoma Children's Health Foundation and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Sally also started working for Ivivva, a brand of Lululemon for women's activewear.
Austin and Sally began to date in 2019 and it was on 23 May 2021 when the PGA Tour star proposed to the love of his life.
He popped the question on Karsten Creek.
That same year, Austin turned professional as he pursued his PGA Tour dream.
After a successful Korn Ferry Tour season, Austin and Sally got married on 19 Nov. 2022.
He then earned his playing rights on the PGA Tour for 2023.
Sally has attended Austin at the majority of his tournaments since he joined the circuit.
Although she was not with Austin for the first two rounds of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, she did fly out last minute to catch the end of Austin's third round as he hit the top of the leaderboard.
She then remained with him for the duration of the delayed final round that went into a Monday finish.
Sally greeted her man on the 18th green as he saw out his maiden title on the PGA Tour.
Sally is a member of the PGA Tour Wives Association, and she joined the team as a vice president last season.
One of her main responsibilities is to look over their social media presence.
