Christo Lambrecht holes bunker shot at 18 for birdie, first Korn Ferry Tour win in Omaha

USA Today3 days ago
Christo Lamprecht won't soon forget his first victory on the Korn Ferry Tour. The lanky South African holed a bunker shot on the final hole for birdie to win the Pinnacle Bank Championship by one stroke over Peter Kuest.
'I thought it was going to stay on the edge,' Lamprecht said. 'To finish off that kind of way and kind of have everyone go ballistic, it's pretty special.'
Lamprecht, 24, who played his college golf at Georgia Tech, carded five birdies and posted a bogey-free 5-under 66 on Sunday at the Club at Indian Creek in Omaha for a 72-hole total of 19-under 265. Kuest was 5 under through 10 holes, but the birdies dried out and he settled for 67 and his best finish of the season. Robby Shelton, a 54-hole co-leader and the 2022 champion of this tournament, bogeyed the final two holes to finish two back in third.
Lamprecht had his cousin, Christian, on the bag, and they each reacted to the hole-out by throwing the club they were holding — Lamprecht his sand wedge and his cousin, his putter.
'I didn't know what to do so I thought I'll just throw a club in the air and then I think I broke my caddie's arm by hitting him so hard,' said Lamprecht of slapping his cousin five afterwards.
The former British Amateur champion improved to No. 10 on the Korn Ferry Tour's points list, and is well positioned to earn a PGA Tour card awarded to the top 20 in the season-long standings at the end of the year.

BMW Championship live leaderboard updates, tee times, how to watch Thursday's first round

And then there were 50. As in, there are now 50 golfers left in the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs. But due to a withdrawal, the size of the field is 49 this week for the 2025 BMW Championship, the second leg of the three-tournament postseason on the PGA Tour. A week ago, the top 70 made the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where Justin Rose outlasted J.J. Spaun in a playoff. Those two combatants had each lost a PGA Tour playoff earlier in the season to Rory McIlroy (Spaun at the Players, Rose at the Masters). McIlroy didn't play in Memphis last week but he's in the field at the BMW.
