Luke Clenon, twenty -year -old It may still attend Florida stateBut he carried himself as a seasoned professional in every event he played.
But now, thanks to a huge offer in This classic cognitive week this weekClaunton can call himself a member of the PGA tour.
Through the accelerated program of the University of PGA Tour, Clanton needed to reduce this week to earn a PGA tour card.
The player must reach 20 points through the program’s standards to earn a card. Players receive one point to make a PGA tour. Clinton has reached PGA National with 19 points, all of which were collected during the past nine months.
Thanks to Friday 66, Clinton was easily cut off and is now qualified to compete in the tour after the NCAA season ended in May. It becomes the second player to achieve this through the program, after the Gordon Sarrgent from Vanderbilt. Clinton also has the option to return to Florida for his first season, a choice made by Sargent last year.
Meanwhile, Clanton is sitting in 9 years in the middle of the road of the championship. It is also in the top ten at the end of the weekend in PGA National.
After draining him Berdy Bot on the eighteenth holeClinton could not help but left the feelings flowing. He got his way to the tour at his hometown event, about an hour from where he grew up.
He is a great player. It is hit by a mile. It has a great short game. “He is a real fire,” said colleague Siminol Daniel Berger.
“He has a bright future. Just got what he is doing.”
It is a completely different feeling from what he felt three weeks ago WM Phoenix Open. Such a week, Claunton received the sponsor’s exemption from Thunderbirds to try to earn a PGA tour card in TPC Scottsdale. He needed to make a reduction to do so, but he fell in one shot – his plane tried in the eighteenth hole.
After that, Clinton said he knew that his time would come. He remained confident and steadfast in himself, and he is a testimony of his identity and faith.
This motifs were re -operated on Wednesday, when he addressed the media before Cognizant.
“My time will come, and we do not know whether this week, next week, or whenever that is. I will trust the Lord and know that it is a golf game. Clinton said:” He will go on my way or not on my way. “
“I would like this week to be with all friends and family, but I will focus on one snapshot every time.”
This time now, and Clinton is officially a member of the PGA tour.
“I never want to talk about it and say this in this way, but now that I have finished, it is definitely away from the shoulders for sure,” said Clanton after his tour on Friday.
“I am definitely excited to see what the boys wrote to me and hang up with them when I go there. I still have two other days in this event, and we will be closed and try to go out and win this thing.”
He definitely has the game to win. If he does that, you will immediately be qualified to compete in the PGA tour and can start with Arnold Palmer Invitational next week. However, Claunton explained to weeks, no one should advance to himself. Patience, perseverance and faith always win the features that paved the way for Clinton to the PGA tour.
