Frankie Capan III Seizes T-3 Finish at Bermuda Championship, Boosts Bid for PGA Tour Status
In a thrilling display of golfing prowess, 23-year-old Frankie Capan III secured the third-highest finish at the Bermuda Championship, a coveted spot that propels him ever closer to securing his place on the prestigious PGA Tour. The North Oaks native's impressive performance, which included a 1-under round of 70 in the final round, catapulted him up the season-long points list, moving him to No. 124 heading into next week's RSM Classic.
Capan's finish marks a significant step forward for the young golfer, who had previously been struggling to find consistency on the tour. His second top-six finish in his last four events has given him renewed hope of earning conditional status and securing a spot on the PGA Tour for next season.
While Capan still faces stiff competition from golfers already established on the tour, his improved play this fall has earned him a crucial boost of confidence. With eight-to-12 starts on offer to those in spots No. 101-125, Capan now sees a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel – a chance to prove himself and earn his place among the best.
The Bermuda Championship's win by Adam Schenk, who edged out Chandler Phillips by a single stroke via a par putt on the final hole, was the perfect foil to Capan's thrilling performance. With gusts swirling north of 40 MPH and wins hovering around 30 miles per hour, Sunday's weather conditions only added to the drama of the tournament.
Capan's remarkable finish has sparked renewed hope that he may yet secure his PGA Tour card for next season. The young golfer will undoubtedly be looking forward to the RSM Classic, where every shot counts in a bid to propel himself up the points list and secure his place among the top 100 golfers on tour.
