Florida State’s Luke Clanton finished fifth at the Wyndham Championship, bringing his PGA TOUR University Accelerated point total to 13. After a birdie on the 36th hole moved the rising junior inside the cutline, Clanton’s third-round 8-under 62 propelled him to his second top-five finish on TOUR this summer. Clanton has made five cuts in six starts on TOUR since June and became the first amateur with three top-10 finishes in a season since Jack Nicklaus in 1961.

Clanton’s busy summer continues this week at the U.S. Amateur, where the winner earns three points in PGA TOUR University Accelerated. If Clanton, currently No. 3 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, accumulates 20 total points by the end of his junior season, he will earn his PGA TOUR card via PGA TOUR University Accelerated. Clanton would become the second player to earn his card through PGA TOUR University Accelerated, joining Vanderbilt’s Gordon Sargent.

Austin Eckroat was the low PGA TOUR University alum at the Wyndham Championship after carding his second-best finish of the season with a sixth-place finish. Eckroat has finished in the top 25 six times this season, including a win at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.

Along with Eckroat, Ludvig Åberg and Davis Thompson qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs and are in the field at the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis.

After a week off on PGA TOUR Americas, 13 PGA TOUR University alumni are in the field at the Elk Ridge Saskatchewan Open presented by Lake Country Co-Op. John Keefer finished T2 at the BioSteel Championship to take hold of the No. 2 spot in the Fortinet Cup points list. Keefer, Frederik Kjettrup (No. 3)and Ryan Burnett (No. 8) head into the final four events of the season as the top-three point-earners amongst PGA TOUR University alumni.
