Farmington • Patrick Fishburn probably isn’t going to win the first-place check of $126,000 at the Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank, the Web.com Tour event that is being contested at Oakridge Country Club this week.
But the former BYU golfer, who turned professional a few months ago, is going to win a decent pile of cash — something that didn’t happen the last time he won a tournament in the state of Utah.
Fishburn won the 2017 Utah Open by nine shots at Riverside Country Club in Provo last August but watched then-defending champion Zahkai Brown walk off with the $20,000 first-place check because Brown was a pro and Fishburn was still an amateur.
