Frankie Harris captured the Korn Ferry Tour’s Pinnacle Bank Championship by defeating Alistair Docherty in a play-off after both competitors finished at 22 under par following regulation play at The Club at Indian Creek in Nebraska.
Harris posted a final-round score of 12-under 59, which included an eight-under 27 on the back nine with six birdies, an eagle and two pars, combined with four birdies and five pars on the front nine. The 23-year-old made an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole to complete the round. His performance marks him as the ninth golfer worldwide to shoot a sub-60 final round and win a tournament.
Harris joins an exclusive group of golfers who have achieved this feat, including Bryson DeChambeau, who shot 58 to win LIV Golf Greenbrier, and Jim Furyk, who recorded a 58 in the fourth round of the 2016 Travelers Championship. Harris expressed surprise at his achievement, stating he had not realized he shot 59 when completing the final hole and was focused simply on maintaining his performance level throughout the round.
The victory advances Harris to 29th position on the Korn Ferry Tour points list. The top 20 finishers on the points list at the end of the season earn PGA Tour cards for 2027, making this win significant for Harris’s professional trajectory.
