Ryan Burnett closed with a final-round 62 to win the Bromont Open presented by Desjardins, the third PGA TOUR Americas tournament this summer to be won by a PGA TOUR University alum. The 2023 grad from North Carolina moved to No. 8 in the Fortinet Cup standings, joining fellow PGA TOUR U alums Frederik Kjettrup (No. 1) and John Keefer (No. 6) in the top 10 with six events remaining in the season. Since the first class of PGA TOUR University players turned pro in June 2021, 16 different alumni have combined for 24 professional victories.
Keefer added a T6 finish in Quebec to a record that already included finishes of T5-T2-2nd in his first three starts on PGA TOUR Americas. This comes on the heels of a strong finish to his college career at Baylor, where he finished T6 at the Big 12 Championship, T2 at NCAA Regionals and T11 at the NCAA Championship to improve to No. 25 in the Class of 2024 PGA TOUR University Ranking, the final spot that receives performance benefits.
On the Korn Ferry Tour, Sam Bennett and Noah Goodwin finished T3, the best finishes of the season for both players. Nick Gabrelcik posted weekend rounds of 65-66 to finish T7, his first career top-10, while Karl Vilips finished T15, his second straight top-25. After finishing No. 10 in the PGA TOUR U Class of 2024 and earning Korn Ferry Tour conditional membership, Vilips earned a spot in this week’s NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank by way of his top-25 finish, the second straight week he earned entry through that category.
On the PGA TOUR, Mac Meissner finished fourth at the Barracuda Championship, the best finish of his career, and improved to No. 92 in the FedExCup standings. His push for the FedExCup Playoffs continues this week at the 3M Open, where he’s one of 10 alumni in the field. Also competing will be Florida State rising junior Luke Clanton, who has 11 points in PGA TOUR University Accelerated and has three made cuts and two top-10s in PGA TOUR events this summer.
