After leading after each of the first three rounds, and holding a three stroke lead at the turn today, Trey Mullinax had to settle for a 2nd place finish at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship. Mullinax bogeyed back-to-back holes, and had to contend with a golfer who sank five straight birdies. Nevertheless, Mullinax finished 2nd in the Finals 25 standings, and he has regained his PGA Tour card for the 2021-2022 season (see ceremony below). Lee Hodges also finished T-4th this week, though Hodges had already clinched a card in the regular season.
