Wford’s Quade Cummins manufactured another very strong finish this week on the Korn Ferry Tour out in Utah. Cummins fired rounds of 65-65-65-71 to finish tied for 15th at 18 under. Quade had worked his way into a tie for second with 9 holes to play but faltered just a bit on the final 9 to fall back into the 15th place tie. Cummins has now amassed 999 total points toward his season-long points list rankings. That’s good enough for 10th place with 6 events left to play. He just needs to stay in the top 30 to earn his PGA Tour card next season. For reference, a year ago, the 30th place on the list only earned 862 total points, so Cummins is in great shape to play on the PGA Tour next year.
