A family affair

Scott Gutschewski (PGA TOUR member and three-time Korn Ferry Tour winner) , Luke Gutschewski (Iowa State golfer playing on a sponsor exemption) and Trevor Gutschewski (2024 U.S. Junior Amateur champion and rising High School senior playing on a sponsor exemption) are all in the field for the Pinnacle Bank Championship. The three family members are playing in the same group for Rounds 1 and 2. Additionally, brothers Carson Schaake (open qualifier; making his third KFT start this week) and Alex Schaake (making fourth KFT state and playing on a sponsor exemption) are both in the field. This is the second time both Schaake brothers have played in this event during the same season.
