On Tuesday, UTA Golf director Stuart Deane secured a final qualifying spot for the PGA Championship at Sunriver Resort in Oregon.

Deane tied for 53rd place heading into the final round of the PGA Professional Championship. He ended in 19th place after finishing 1-under-par 71 to conclude the event at 3-over-par 290. He tied with seven other golfers for 19th place.

Since the top 20 finishers qualify for the PGA Championship, a playoff round was held between the eight golfers to determine the final qualifying spot. Deane sunk a birdie in the second playoff hole, claiming his spot in the championship.
