Fourth in scrambling at BDC Kizzire carded an even-par 71 on Sunday at the Black Desert Championship to finish 10-under and tied for 43rd.
Impact Kizzire, who opened the FedExCup Fall with a win at the Procore Championship, ranked fourth among the field in scrambling this past week in Utah where he tallied just six total bogeys across 72 holes. He's now up to 70th in the FEC Fall standings, and Kizzire will be in attendance again this week for the Shriners Children's Open where he owns two career top-4 finishes.

Follows win with T11 finish Kizzire closed with a five-under 67 on Sunday to finish in a share of 11th place at the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Impact Any thought of a big letdown following his big win at the Procore Championship last time out can be forgotten. Kizzire was able to put together a top-15 finish despite not driving it well. The rest of his game was pretty solid, however, and Kizzire now sits at 71st in the FedExCup standings. Kizzire will hope for another quality finish next week at the Black Desert Championship.

Returns to winner's circle Kizzire won the Procore Championship by five strokes after shooting a two-under 70 in the final round.
Impact Kizzire opened the final round with a commanding four-shot lead and never really was under too much stress on Sunday. He made eagle on the par-5 5th hole to really kick his round into gear. While Kizzire dropped shots on 9 and 11, he bounced back with birdies on 12, 13 and 15 to cruise home. Kizzire led the field in SG: Putting to win his first PGA Tour event since the 2018 Sony Open in Hawaii. The Auburn product came into the fall on the bubble to retain full status at 132nd in the FedExCup standings, but this win locks up a two-year exemption and secures him a spot in the Masters next year.

Drops to T37 in Bermuda Kizzire finished tied for 37th place at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship after an even 71 score in the final round.
Impact Kizzire finished the third round with three straight birdies and looked to build off that momentum in the final round. He was two-under after eight holes Sunday but scored a bogey on the ninth hole and fell apart on hole 11 when he recorded a triple-bogey. He managed to recover with two birdies on the back-nine to finish the round even, but dropped 19 spots from where he was at the beginning of the day. Kizzire dropped four spots to 130th in the FedExCup Fall Standings but will have a chance to rebound at The RSM Classic this upcoming week.
