PGA TOUR University on TOUR: Pierceson Coody tallies third career victory on Korn Ferry Tour

Korn Ferry Tour

Pierceson Coody converted a 54-hole co-lead into a two-stroke victory at last week’s Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr Pepper, giving him his second win of the season and moving him to No. 4 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List. It was his third win in 26 Korn Ferry Tour starts since finishing No. 1 in the PGA TOUR University Class of 2022, and he’s in position to earn his PGA TOUR card as one of the top-30 players on the final Korn Ferry Tour Points List.

PGA TOUR University alumni now have 13 professional victories (7 Korn Ferry Tour, 6 PGA TOUR Canada), with Coody topping the list with three wins.

Pierceson’s twin brother Parker finished T2, his second consecutive top-three finish, and improved to No. 23 on the points list, while Ryan Burnett (Class of 2023) finished sixth and improved 52 spots in the standings to 98th. Adrien Dumont de Chassart (Class of 2023) tied for seventh and extended his streak to five top-10s in five starts as a professional.

This week, North Carolina senior Austin Greaser and Tennessee rising sophomore Caleb Surratt will join 21 PGA TOUR University alumni in the field at the NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank. The tournament will be streamed live exclusively by Barstool Sports, with coverage of all four rounds running from 3:30-6:30 p.m. ET on Barstool.tv.
