RIO GRANDE - College of Charleston senior Kieron van Wyk will become the first Charleston men's golfer to play in a current PGA Tour Event when he tees off at the Puerto Rico Open on Thursday at 12:20 p.m.
van Wyk earned an exemption to the tournament following his win at the White Sands Bahamas Men's NCAA Golf Invitational at the Ocean Club Golf Course at Paradise Island, Bahamas in October. The senior, who is ranked No. 15 among college golfers, birdied his first two holes on the day and was never threatened, finishing 21 under par, a tournament record, five strokes ahead of Hudson Weibel of Houston, who had a 3-under 69 on Sunday after carding a 65 on Saturday
In January, he captured the APGA Tour's season-opening Farmers Insurance Invitational on Sunday at Torrey Pines Golf Course (South), becoming the first amateur golfer to win an APGA event since the tour started in 2010. van Wyk is the top ranked golfer in the Bridgestone APGA Collegiate Rankings.
van Wyk will play with Americans George McNeill and Taylor Dickson in the opening round. Coverage can be found live on the Golf Channel and by clicking here for the leader board.
