Hearn is back on PGA Tour

Korn Ferry Tour Tour Championship final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/korn-ferry-tour/tournaments/korn-ferry-tour-championship.html

David Hearn was projected to finish 42nd in the Korn Ferry Tour playoffs going into yesterday's final round. He knew his year on the PGA Tour was on the line, he knew he was facing the daunting task of heading back to Q school, perhaps another season on the Korn Ferry Tour with a few sponsors exemptions on the big show. 

Little improves your confidence than succeeding under that kind of pressure, nothing erodes it like failing.

He's been in that situation before with mixed results. Yesterday was a big win. Out in -4, then -6 with birdies at 10,11 he was well on his way, but this is a heartbreaking game at times.

With next season on the line he made a bogey on 15 then another on 17, it was slipping from his hands. Then perhaps the shot of his career. 170 yards, 7 iron soared to within the leather for a tap in birdie, a -66 (70 69 70 66) -13 a T4th and a 13th place finish in the playoffs.

Back on the PGA Tour for 2020 !

David admitted afterwards the last 2  years have been very frustrating, knowing he is better than his results being in the 126-150 group, and with the 2020 season starting next week with the Fall wrap around, he is relieved to be able to pencil in more events consecutively, which will help him hone his game.

He first earned his card in 2004.

Adam Svensson had a solid -4 68, T15, but just missed the top 25, coming in at 27th.
