FREDERICTON, New Brunswick – Stow’s Ian Holt carded a third-round 9-under 62 to claim his first career victory at the Explore NB Open after the final round was canceled Sunday afternoon due to unplayable course conditions.
The former Kent State Golden Flash was part of a five-way tie at the top of the leaderboard after Friday’s first round. He shot a second-round 62 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead, and he led by four after carding another 62 on Sunday morning in the third round. Holt carded 26 birdies in 54 holes and totaled 26-under for the tournament after three bogey-free rounds.
The final round began in the afternoon on Sunday, inclement weather persisted, and the PGA TOUR Americas Rules Committee decided to cancel the final round with the last group on the seventh hole.
Holt earned $40,500 for his victory, and becomes an exempt member on PGA TOUR Americas for the remainder of the 2024 season and through the Latin America Swing of 2025. He earned 500 points and is No. 11 in the Fortinet Cup.
