15-year-old Miles Russell finishes among top 25 in Korn Ferry Tour event, qualifies for next tournament

Russell, a high school freshman, was the youngest golfer to make the cut at an korn ferry tour event.

You've probably heard of shooting your age. Have you heard of leaderboard positioning your age? Not that impressive if you're 53-year-old Phil Mickelson, but what about when you're 15-year-old Miles Russell playing your first professional event?

Russell didn't quite make it to 15th place on the leaderboard at the 2024 LECOM Suncoast Classic, but a final-round 66 placed him T20 in the field, leading to a qualification for next week's event on the Korn Ferry Tour, the Veritex Bank Championship in Arlington, Texas. 

"I drove it great today," he said. "That was probably the big difference between the first three holes yesterday and the first three holes today. ... My iron play on the back side was the best iron play I had all week." 

Russell opened 68-66 to make the cut, becoming the youngest player ever to do so in a Korn Ferry Tour event. He's also just oen of two golfers younger than 16 to make a cut in a PGA Tour or Korn Ferry Tour event, joining Guan Tian Liang.

Making the cut was Russell's goal, he said earlier in the week. The 66 on Sunday was simply icing for the No. 1-ranked junior player in the world , who is breaking every record he looks at these days between being homeschooled.

"I came out thinking, 'Get off to a good start,'" he said Sunday, implying that he was thinking about finishing in that top 25. "... Be patient and let it come to me, and it did."

Not only is he the youngest player in Korn Ferry Tour history to make the cut at an event, he also also took over a record held by perhaps the best to ever do it when, last fall, Russell surpassed Tiger Woods as the youngest AJGA Boys Junior Player of the Year.

Miles Russell, a 15 year old left handed golfer made the cut in this week’s Korn Ferry event. This is an amazing accomplishment. It’s great to see a young lefty playing such incredible golf. 👍👍 — Phil Mickelson (@PhilMickelson) April 21, 2024

Though Russell is not yet old enough to join the Korn Ferry Tour, he could theoretically keep playing his way into tournaments with continuous top 25 finishes as the season rolls on. Players from the prior week's top 25 are eligible to play in the following week's tournament.

Russell, who is the reigning Junior Players Championship and Boy's Junior PGA Championship winner, played this week at Lakewood National Golf Club in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, on a sponsor exemption.

Frankie Capan III shoots 58, breaks Scottie Scheffler's record at Veritex Bank Championship on Korn Ferry Tour

Capan had the chance to go even lower at texas rangers golf club on thursday.

During a time in golf when seemingly every ranking and record belongs to Scottie Scheffler, one no longer does. Frankie Capan III fired a 13-under 58 in Round 1 of the Korn Ferry Tour's Veritex Bank Championship on Thursday to clip Scheffler's low mark at at Texas Rangers Golf Club in Arlington, Texas, by one. The world No. 1's 59 had stood as the course benchmark for four years.

The 24-year-old began his day with a par before rattling off four straight birdies to get his round rolling in the right direction. He remained at 4 under up until the par-5 9th where the big bird landed and allowed Capan to turn in 6-under 29. The eagle at the turn jump started Capan's round and was the appetizer for a back nine to remember.

Birdies from the blade of Capan came on the next seven (!) holes, getting him to 13 under on the par-71 layout with two holes remaining. After playing the stretch from Nos. 9-16 in 9 under, Capan still faced the chance to pick off a couple more, especially with a closing par 5 on deck.

ANOTHER birdie for @FrankieCapan 🔥 Frankie needs to play his last three holes at even-par to shoot a 59 😮 pic.twitter.com/QnsedBopQV — Korn Ferry Tour (@KornFerryTour) April 25, 2024

The right hander carded his first par in a couple hours on the par-4 17th and was unable to put one last par breaker on his card after hitting his drive on the par-5 18th in the fairway bunker. Instead, Capan settled for par on the 18th and the second-ever 58 in Korn Ferry Tour history.

Capan's 58 adds to a growing list of sub-60 rounds on the Korn Ferry Tour over the last year. A couple months ago, Cristobol del Solar fired a 57 to set the record for the lowest round in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event. Aldrich Potgieter shot 59 later that same week in Colombia. In total, there have been 13 sub-60 rounds in the history of the Korn Ferry Tour with Capan's being the latest.

Trainer and Brehm can find a few perks amid New Orleans disappointment

The disappointment on Martin Trainer’s face was obvious when he pushed a 6-foot par putt that would extended the playoff in the Zurich Classic. Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy wound up winning over Trainer and Chad Ramey.

But it wasn’t the worst consolation prize for Trainer.

His portion of the runner-up finish was $525,100, the second-largest payoff of his PGA Tour career behind the $540,000 he earned from winning the 2019 Puerto Rico Open. It also was more than he made in all of the 2020, 2021 and 2023 seasons.

“There’s a lot of really good things to take from this week, and that’s what I’m going to do,” Trainer said. “Solo second finish in the end is still pretty good.”

Solo third also isn’t awful as Ryan Brehm can attest. The big hitter from Michigan was right in the mix with Mark Hubbard, narrowly missing out on a playoff when Brehm’s birdie putt from the fringe grazed the cup.

Third place was worth $343,763 for Brehm, in the final year of his full exemption from winning the 2022 Puerto Rico Open. That was his second-largest paycheck behind the $660,000 he earned from his only win.

Trainer also moved up from No. 171 to No. 103 in the FedEx Cup, while Brehm went from No. 162 to No. 114. Both are in the field for The CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Trainer is at No. 4 in the “Swing Five” list that get into the $20 million Wells Fargo Championship next week.

GOING LOW ON THE KORN FERRY

Frankie Capan III opened with a 58 in the Veritex Bank Championship to further highlight a trend in low scoring on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Scores have been coming down across golf over the last decade, a natural progression. What makes the Korn Ferry Tour stand out is that Capan was the third player this year with a sub-60 round, following Aldrich Potgieter (59) and Cristobal Del Solar (57) in Colombia.

This is the second straight year for the Korn Ferry Tour to produce three sub-60 rounds. Mac Meissner (Lecom Suncoast Classic), Michael Feagles (BMW Charity Pro-Am) and David Kocher (Albertsons Boise Open) each shot 59 a year ago.

No other tour around the world has produced more than two sub-60 rounds in the same year.

Equally remarkable about the Korn Ferry Tour is none of those six players who shot in the 50s in 2023 and 2024 went on to win. There have been 13 sub-60 rounds in Korn Ferry Tour history, and only two players went on to win — Stephan Jaeger in the 2016 Ellie Mae Classic and Jason Gore in the 2005 Cox Classic.

Golf has seen two other sub-60 rounds this year — Joaquin Niemann at LIV Golf Mayakoba and John Catlin at the International Series Macau on the Asian Tour. Both wound up winning.

BRADLEY ON LIV

Keegan Bradley doesn’t know where golf is headed and how it can be healed. “I hear a different new rumor every day,” he says.

But part of him wouldn’t mind seeing a few PGA Tour events with LIV Golf involved.

“I think it would be really fun to have a tournament like the Travelers, where you’re coming down the stretch against a PGA Tour versus a LIV guy,” Bradley said Monday at media day for the Travelers Championship, where he will defend his title in June.

“I think that would be fun for the media. I think it would be fun for the public. I think it could be fun to watch.”

LIV players can play in European tour events as long as they pay fines for being on the Saudi-circuit without having a release. But they are suspended by the PGA Tour, and showing up at a non-major still seems far away.

Bradley said several players who left for LIV were “big characters, good and bad, and great players.”

“And I think eventually you’d see them come back,” he said. “But the LIV guys are going to have to play on LIV. It would just be an event here or there. I don’t think any of them are going to jump over and play full time.”

LEGENDARY LANGER

Bernhard Langer already has defied age by winning every season on the PGA Tour Champions since he became eligible for the 50-and-older circuit in 2007. That includes breaking Hale Irwin's career victory record with his 46 senior title.

Equally remarkable is the 66-year-old German returns to competition this week in the Insperity Invitational outside Houston just three months after tearing his left Achilles tendon.

Langer tore the tendon Feb. 1 when leaping for a lob while playing pickleball. To no one's surprise, he followed the doctor's order by the book. He also was inspired by New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers going through the same injury in September and throwing a football in December, even though he didn't return.

"That lifted my spirits, hearing he was back on the field throwing the ball after eight or nine weeks,” Langer said. “That encouraged me that I may do something similar.”

What's next? He has gone 17 consecutive seasons with a PGA Tour Champions title and sees no reason why he can't extend the streak. This week might be asking too much, though he is a four-time winner of the Insperity Invitational.

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club reopened the clubhouse Monday after its most extensive renovation in 100 years. The enhancements include more locker room space to provide women's facilities, a refurbished trophy room, a new heritage lounge and a new shop for members. ... Hannah Green's victory at the JM Eagle LA Championship was her second of the year and moves her into the top 10 in the women's world ranking for the first time in her career. The Australian is at No. 8. ... Shane Lowry became the 114th player to surpass $20 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. ... Adam Hadwin has moved three spots ahead of Corey Conners in the race to get Canada's second spot in the Olympics. Still to come are two majors and two signature events on the PGA Tour. ... FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland has dropped to No. 95 in the FedEx Cup standings. ... Now that Guy Kinnings is CEO of the European tour, he takes over as chairman of the International Golf Federation through 2027. Among other things, the IGF oversees golf in the Olympics.

STAT OF THE WEEK

Brendan Steele won $4 million for his victory in LIV Golf Adelaide. He won a combined $3,312,000 for his three PGA Tour victories.

“I asked ... if we could play a fourth round this week just because I wanted to experience what we have experienced all week for another day.” — Lucas Herbert on playing LIV Golf Adelaide before a home crowd in Australia.
