PGA TOUR

Chris Gotterup, winner of this year’s Nicklaus Award and Haskins Award, closed the PGA TOUR regular season with a T54 finish at the Wyndham Championship. Since finishing 7th in the Velocity Global Ranking and turning pro in June, Gotterup made the cut in six of eight starts on the PGA TOUR, highlighted by a T4 at the John Deere Classic. He finished with 190 non-member FedExCup points, and he earned a spot in Korn Ferry Tour Finals by virtue of exceeding the 200th-place player on the official FedExCup points list at the end of the regular season.

PGA TOUR Canada

Alex Fitzpatrick posted his second straight top-25 finish, tying for 24th last week at the Quebec Open. The Wake Forest product finished 6th in this year’s Velocity Global Ranking, and he improved 15 spots to 55th in the Fortinet Cup standings.
