KORN FERRY TOUR
Christo Lamprecht came within a stroke of his first victory on the Korn Ferry Tour last weekend, and Ross Steelman joined him as top-10 finishers at the Astara Golf Championship in Bogota, Colombia.
Second-year member Lamprecht (T2/-17) posted the best result of his professional career and his second top 10 of the year (previous: 4th/2025 Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at The Abaco Club). In 10 starts last season, posted one top-10 finish.
Steelman (T6/-15) led after firing a 62 in the second round, and bounced back from a 2-over 73 in the third round with a 3-under 68 to log his second top 10 of the 2025 campaign (T9/The Bahamas Golf Classic at Atlantis Paradise Island).
Lamprecht jumped to No. 6 in the Korn Ferry Tour points standings, while Steelman also took a significant leap to No. 17.
Richy Werenski (T-68) and Seth Reeves (T-79) also made the cut, while Paul Haley II and Chesson Hadley missed the 36-hole cut.

This is so cool for those of us who got into golf in the late 90’s.
David Duval at age 53 hitting through the bag.
He had such a sweet and unique move. Legit was the best player on earth, took #1 from Tiger Woods in 1999.
He still stripes it!
