Pereira claims first Korn Ferry Tour win in Bogota

With his win Sunday in Colombia, Mito Pereira just put himself in the mix for a PGA Tour card and maybe even a spot in this summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Four back to start the final round, Periera fired a final-round 64 with a 72nd-hole eagle to win the Country Club de Bogota Championship by two over Ben Kholes.

The 24-year-old Chilean carded four birdies, two eagles and a bogey to steal his second professional victory, the follow-up to a 2016 PGA Tour Latinoamerica title.

Pereira played the KFT in 2017 and '18 before losing his status and heading back to the Latinoamerica circuit last year.
