With a hard-fought final round 1-under par 71 today at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship in Newburgh, Indiana, Lower finished at 9-under par total, good for a T15. Combined with his finishes in the previous two Korn Ferry Tour Finals events, Lower earned just enough points to finish in 25th position:
– T32 Albertsons Boise Open
– T45 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship
– T15 Korn Ferry Tour Championship
That 25th points list position earned him a full exemption onto the PGA TOUR for the 2021-2022 wrap-around season.
All the feels. ❤️@justinlower_1 immediately after securing @PGATOUR card. pic.twitter.com/GTUGLRLcgk

Lower has been oh-so-close to earning PGA TOUR status over the last handful of years. In fact, Lower had a feature story posted about him on PGATOUR.com on the eve before today’s final round, titled PGA TOUR dreams to be finalized Sunday at Korn Ferry Tour Championship.
That story got it right.
