While most golf fans were watching Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa go head-to-head in a thrilling battle Sunday at the Workday Charity Open, a Northwestern alum earned his first win on the minor league tour of golf. David Lipsky, a 2011 NU graduate and All-America award winner, shot 25-under on the week in the TPC San Antonio Challenge, good enough for a four-stroke victory.
The Korn Ferry Tour is a breeding ground for PGA Tour golfers, and the win marks a big step towards Lipsky earning his professional tour card for the upcoming season. At the end of the year, the top 25 golfers on the Korn Ferry Tour earn cards, and Lipsky jumped to 11th place with the victory.
