PLANTATION, Fla. - Chase Koepka from West Palm Beach, FL, wins the Minor League Golf Tour's Web.com Q-School contest #3 by three shots over Brandon Smith. The contest consisted of back to back 2-day events with the low 4-day total score winning a full paid entry into 2016 Web.com Q-School.
Koepka finished 2nd in the first 2-day event at PGA National Estates with a 6-under par total of 135 (67-68). Koepka shot 69 in the 3rd round at Plantation Preserve Golf Course to carry a 2 shot lead (-9) over Brandon Smith (-7) into the final round. Koepka and Smith were tied through 68 holes after both birdied the par four 14th hole to get to -10 for the contest. Smith bogeyed 15 to fall one behind and then on the tough par four 17th hole Koepka made birdie after Smith made bogey which all but sealed the deal. Koepka parred the last hole for a 3 shot win and will have his 2016 Web.com Q-School entry fee paid by the Minor League Golf Tour.
