Bret Beherns and Courtney Layne Brewer reported that Max McGreevy secured his second win on the Korn Ferry Tour by making a birdie on the final hole. After bogeying the 17th, McGreevy entered the final hole tied for the lead, but he rallied and carded a two under 69 to win the tournament. This victory will take McGreevy back to the PGA Tour, where he played last season before losing his card.
The report also mentioned the success of two Illini who made the cut. Jackson Buchanan made his Korn Ferry Tour debut and finished tied for 39th. He posted an impressive score of 13-under, being the only amateur in the field to make it to the weekend. Dylan Meyer finished T48 in the tournament with an even-par 71. Although he wished for a better result, he is content with his finish and paycheck as he aims to gain full-time status.
