Frederik Kjettrup of Denmark, claimed his third win of the season at the  CRMC Championship presented by Gertens and earned a Three-Victory Promotion, making him an  immediate member of the Korn Ferry Tour and fully exempt through the 2025 season.

Rookie Bryce Lewis carded a career-low 9-under 61 in Sunday’s final round to post a career-best finish coming in second. The Masters and U.S. Open low-amateur Neal Shipley secured his second consecutive  top-three finish and moved inside the top 20 of the Fortinet Cup to No. 18. The top 30 players at the end of the season become KornFerry eligible.

For Kjettrup, it has been a fast start having graduated from Florida State University only a few months ago. With a No. 8 finish in the 2024 PGA TOUR University Ranking, Kjettrup became an exempt  member on PGA TOUR Americas. Within 10 weeks, he won three times and had earned a spot onto KornFerry.

Kjettrup started his Sunday with a four-stroke lead and after 15 holes and a singular birdie carded, Kjettrup’s lead was gone. Bryce Lewis took a one-shot lead after carding seven birdies and an eagle to total 9-under thru 16 holes. After a birdie by Kjettrup on No. 16 and two pars on Nos. 17 and 18 for Lewis, Kjettrup entered  No. 18 tied for the lead. Hole 18 is a 500 plus yard par 5 playing into the wind with a force carry over water into the green. Kjettrup hit a drive down the middle of the fairway paired followed by a 4-hybrid 250 yards to the green He then rolled in a 23 foot putt for eagle and a two stroke victory.

“Obviously a lot of nerves, especially knowing I needed a birdie to win, so a lot of nerves. Definitely felt  the heartbeat go up a little bit and some nerves kick in, but tried to control it as good as I can and  obviously hit a nice shot in there,” said Kjettrup when recalling his 18th hole. “It felt nice to play good  this week and get that third win and be on the Korn Ferry Tour next year. It feels really good. Words  can’t really describe it. A step in the right direction and a step up the ladder. I’m really excited for it.”
