Sudarshan Yellamaraju wins Korn Ferry Tour event in Bahamas
GREAT ABACO, Bahamas — Sudarshan Yellamaraju shot a bogey-free 8-under 64 on Wednesday for a five-stroke victory in the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, the second event of the year on the Korn Ferry Tour.
The 23-year-old Canadian began with a one-shot lead and pulled ahead with five birdies in a six-hole stretch on the front nine at The Abaco Club. He added birdies on Nos. 14, 15 and 17 to finish his first professional victory at 25-under 263 — a record for the tournament, which dates to 2017.
Two-time PGA Tour winner Russell Knox of Scotland and Kensei Hirata of Japan tied for second at 20 under. The 39-year-old Knox has finished in the top 10 in both Korn Ferry Tour events this year. Hirata, a seven-time winner on the Japan Golf Tour, was making his Korn Ferry debut.
