RICHY WERENSKI CONTENDS IN COLOMBIA

Richy Werenski, working to return to the PGA Tour after losing his card after 2023, made a significant step in that direction last weekend in Bogota, Colombia, tying for third place at the Astara Golf Championship.

The 32-year-old former Tech star shot a 62 in the second round, then followed with 65-66 on the weekend to finish two shots out of the lead. He vaulted himself to No. 21 in the Korn Ferry tour points standings (top 25 at the end of the season earn PGA Tour cards).

In 49 career events on the Korn Ferry Tour, Werenski has one victory (the 2016 BMW Charity Pro-Am), three runner-up finishes and five total top-5s. He spent the last seven seasons on the PGA Tour.
