CU Alum Sebastian Heisele Earns European Tour Card

Gains Full Exempt Status For The First Time

BOULDER — University of Colorado golf alumnus Sebastian Heisele has earned fully exempt status on the European Tour for the 2020 season by virtue of an excellent finish last weekend in Spain.

Heisele, 31, earned the exemption by finishing in a tie for second in the Challenge Tour Grand Final in Port d'Alcúdia, Mallorca. In carding a 71-69-67-63—280 scorecard (4-under par) on the Club de Golf Alcanada course, he was two strokes off the lead and also won 37,500 Euros for his effort.

He came back from a severe injury – torn ligaments in his right foot – earlier this season to rally with a strong finish to earn his card.
