Korn Ferry Tour Pinnacle Bank Championship final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/korn-ferry-tour/leaderboard.html
I haven't written a lot about a young Canadian who is absolutely burning up the Korn Ferry Tour so I'll lead with him today. Taylor Pendrith 29 is from Richmond Hill. He finished with a personal best -5 66 T2 -10 just a shot off the winning score of American Seth Reeves at the Pinnacle Bank Championship this weekend. What is more remarkable, is that was his 4th straight top 3 finish.
He is currently 3rd on the money list, with the top 5 after this week's event in Oregon getting a spot in the US Open later this fall at Winged Foot which would be a first for Pendrith. In addition the top 25 on the Korn Ferry money list at the season's end earn their PGA Tour cards for 2021-22.
Champions Tour Ally Challenge final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/champions/competition/2020/the-ally-challenge/leaderboard.html
Earlier I wrote about Mike Weir, KJ Choi and Jim Furyk making their Champions Tour debuts. Weir and Choi had steady weeks finishing T27 -6, while Furyk who won the Buick Open on the Warwick Hills course in 2003, outlasted Brett Quigley who made bogey's on his last 2 holes including a missed 2 footer, to win the Ally Challenge 68 66 68 -14 by two shots. He flew out to San Francisco afterwards, where he will play in the PGA Championship this week.
WGC Fed Ex St Jude Invitational final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/wgc-fedex-st-jude-invitational/leaderboard.html
Yesterday I mentioned Justin Thomas who began play on Sunday at the WGC St Jude Invitational in 5th spot 4 shots off the lead, was one who could shoot 64 to make a charge in the ideal conditions, and that's how it turned out.
He fired a 65 to get to -13 for his 13th PGA tour win, three shots better than Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Tom Lewis from England and Daniel Berger. Thomas becomes the new world #1, replacing Jon Rahm who drops to #2.
Canadians: Corey Connors T30 at -4, Nick Taylor T35 -3. Mac Hughes T44 -2 and Adam Hadwin T72 +8.
