    Kevin Yu Ties for Second, Moves into Top 25

    Korn Ferry Tour

    Kevin Yu finished T2 at last week’s Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr Pepper and improved to No. 18 on the points list with just two regular season events remaining. It was Yu’s third top-three finish of the season, and he is on the brink of joining Davis Thompson and Trevor Werbylo as Korn Ferry Tour graduates.

    Also finishing in the top-10 last week was Austin Eckroat, who tied for eighth and extended his streak to 32 consecutive rounds of par or better. Starting with the AdventHealth Championship in May, Eckroat has made nine straight cuts and finished in the top-25 eight times, including top-10s in his last two starts.

    Pierceson Coody remains the highest-ranked Class of 2022 player at No. 32, while Mac Meissner (No. 49) is the sixth PGA TOUR University alum in the top-50.

    #TOURBound – Korn Ferry Tour is currently using 875 points as its fail-safe threshold for players to finish inside The 25 and earn a PGA TOUR card at regular season’s end.

    PGA TOUR

    Chris Gotterup rebounded from a first-round 75 and finished T31 at the 3M Open, marking his fourth made cut in six TOUR starts as a pro. He currently has 177 non-member FedExCup points, and he’ll earn a spot in Korn Ferry Tour Finals if he exceeds the 200th-place player on the official FedExCup points list at the end of the regular season. Currently, the 200th-place player has 83 points.

    Gotterup will make his seventh TOUR start as a pro this week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. He’ll be joined by Cole Hammer and Stanford rising senior Michael Thorbjornsen, who finished fourth at the Travelers Championship last month.

    PGA TOUR Canada

    Four PGA TOUR University alumni made the cut at last week’s Osprey Valley Open presented by Votorantim Cimentos CBM Aggregates, led by a T32 finish by Jackson Suber. Joe Highsmith finished T35 and is 3-for-3 in made cuts, and he’s the highest-ranked alum at No. 6.

    PGA TOUR Canada resumes this week with the Sothebys International Realty Canada Ontario Open in Tottenham, Ontario. After the season-ending Fortinet Cup Championship (Sept. 15-18), the top player in the Fortinet Cup standings will be named Player of the Year and be exempt into all open 2023 Korn Ferry Tour tournaments, while players finishing 2nd-5th will earn conditional status.
