Billy Horschel captured his fourth career PGA Tour victory on Sunday at the AT&T Byron Nelson Championship, and after his win, he talked about how deeply emotional this triumph was. He was in a poor run of form at the time, and while he didn't go into details, he talked of issues surrounding him off the course.

"Not at this time. Just life gets in the way sometimes and, you know, it's truly special to be winning on something on a day like this that's I honestly - I'm not able to talk about it right now. But it's just lot of stuff happens in the last year and this is just - this is nice."

The following day Billy's wife, Brittany, shared a long and emotional message on her official Twitter account. In a brave and deeply personal note, she talked about her battle with alcoholism, and how grateful she was for Billy's support through it all.
