Argentina’s Miguel Angel Carballo was a stroke back after a 67.
Thompson, who lives in Sea Island, Ga., clinched his PGA Tour card for 2016-17 with the win. Thompson won the 2013 Honda Classic and is most known for finishing T-2 at the 2012 U.S. Open at the Olympic Club. The 24-year-old former Georgia player was 70th on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list. We all want to get our card, especially the guys that lost it past year. “I feel good about my game”.
Mitchell eagled the par-4 ninth and had six birdies and a bogey.
“It’s big. I would have liked to have been a few shots better and been in the last group now coming up there, but so be it”, Johnston said. We entered today with a three-way tie for first place but several other golfers have climbed the leaderboard all eyeing at a chance to bring home $180,000 dollars with their round today. I’m going to play both sides. “I’m really happy about it because at the beginning of the year I was playing really bad for the first four months”. “I started off a little shaky and had to drop on the second hole”.
Grayson Murray finished third at 18-under and Andrew “Beef” Johnston finished fourth at 17-under. The Argentine was making it a trend of earning his PGA TOUR card in odd-numbered years (2011,2013,2015) but he’s not waiting until 2017 this time around.
England’s Andrew Johnston will split his time between Europe and the United States after securing his PGA Tour card for next season.
And he admitted celebrations would be in a similar vain after securing his PGA Tour card. “No, no, there’s going to be a few beers, man”.
