Mitch Schow, a former Utah State Amateur champion and PGA TOUR Canada & LatinAmerica professional, currently has no status on any tour and is prepping for the coming Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying tournament.
At yesterday’s Utah PGA hosted Monday Qualifier for the Korn Ferry Tour’s Utah Championship Schow shot a (-9) 63 at Bonneville GC where he’s a former Salt Lake City Amateur champ.
Schow made 10 birdies on the day, 7 coming on the back nine, to earn medalist honors and a spot in this week’s Utah Championship at Oakridge Country Club.
Schow said, “I though there was only 4 (qualifying) spots so I knew I had to get it going (on the back nine). I knew it (Bonneville GC) was playing hard. I have never seen some of those pins before.”
Schow joins Korn Ferry Tour regulars Patrick Fishburn (last week’s runner-up), Danny Summerhays and Blake Tomlinson who received a sponsor exemption this year. Also making it through the Monday Qualifier are runner-up Carson Lundell, Tyson Shelley and Zac Jones.
Schow, a former University of Utah golfer, will also tee it up in the Summit Sotheby’s Salt Lake City Open, Aug. 12-13 at Bonneville GC on a sponsor exemption.
