Perth’s Curtis Luck kept alive his chances of a return to the PGA Tour following a share of second place at the Korn Ferry Tour event in Columbus, Ohio this morning.
On a golf course and in an event that was the scene of his only win on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020, the 2016 US Amateur Champion produced the best round of the final day (66) and improved from 61st to 47th on the Korn Ferry Tour points table.
With just the Tour Championship to come in Newburgh Indiana in ten days’ time, Luck has opened the door for a late run at a place in the top 30 and a PGA Tour card for next season.
It was Luck’s second-best finish in 103 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour and sets him up for a potentially career changing week in Indiana.
Luck was the only Australian to make the cut this week, Brett Drewitt missing by one, while Rhein Gibson and Dimi Papdatos were well off the mark.
All four however have made it into the top 75 who have gained a start at the Tour Championship and keep open their hopes of graduation next season.
Gibson is 36th, Drewitt 39th, Luck 47th and Papadatos 67th all assured of Korn Ferry Tour status next season but are now chasing higher honours.
