Being the last tournament of the regular season, this tournament is televised on the Golf Channel. Coverage is later afternoon for the leaders, so unless Caleb does something special tomorrow to move up on the leaderboard, he likely won’t get screen time.
Caleb enters the final round in a tie for 20th. He playing partners are both ahead of him in the kft points list.
Ian Holt -3rd place (statistically almost a lock for tour bound)
Ben Kohles -14th place
Caleb -19th place
Golf Channel had Caleb playing he started the day 3 below the cut but currently is 1 to the good with 4 to play. Currently projected to drop from 19 to 26. Needs to make this cut!!
Shoots 5 under, makes the cut by 2. Needs a big weekend!
I think was impressive about his round today is that he climbed 63 places to make the cut by one. He was the only golfer that started the day at even par or worse to make the cut. He will have an early tee time tomorrow, which hopefully will allow to post a low score tomorrow to move up the leader board. By the end of the weekend he may need a top 25 finish or better just to hold his position.
He got some good TV time and positive commentary!!
Caleb finished in a tie for 35th place dropped from 19th to 22nd in the kft standings. Ortiz, who was just behind hin before the event won and moved up to 5th in the standings and has now punched his ticket for a pga card. As the say he is tour bound. I’m afraid that without a top 5 finish in one of these last 3 finals events, he will not punch his ticket for pga card.
So the good news is Caleb makes yet another cut but since then is currently standing in second last place. Hope of getting his card kid fading. I think there is just one more tournament.

2 more tournaments. After this one they cut to 100 then 60. He has clinched his Korn Ferry card but will need high finishes to get back to the top 20.
Caleb finishes his first day at -6, currently in a tie for 8th place with a few players still on the course. (Three players tied for the lead at -9). Three more days like today will go a long way toward a PGA tour card.

Unfortunately the website was off, I saw that as well. But later he was -4 T30
Caleb finished strong, tied for 11th. Should be roughly a 30plus K pay week. Moves up from 26th to 24th and will need a top 5 or so to get his card. Nonetheless, he has made a huge jump from year one to year two.
A top 5 would definitely get him his pga card. Depending how the numbers fall though a top 10 might be enough.
The Korn Ferry site has a prediction site - it shows that if Caleb finishes 15th or better, he would gain his tour card. (Caleb is currently #24, and the 15th or better assumes that enough individuals ahead of him who are on the bubble finish poorer than that.)
Golf Channel has the Korn Ferry Tourney on this weekend, starting today at 3:00 EST.
