Justin Lower Finishes 2nd, Eyes PGA TOUR card
Justin Lower posted the best finish of his career over the weekend at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open presented by Mistras. Lower returned to the Web.com Tour event on the heels of a victory on the All Pro Tour the weekend prior, shooting 26 under par, and a 3rd place finish at the Louisiana Open in 2018.
Lower fired rounds of 68-63-64 to take a two-shot lead into Sunday’s final round. At the completion of 72 holes, Lower signed for a one-under par 70 and was in a tie with Vince Covello. Covello birdied the third playoff hole to clinch the victory.
The runner-up finish was the best of Lower’s Web.com Tour career, and he moved to 13th on the Points List. At the end of the season, the Top 25 points earners earn their PGA Tour membership for the 2019-2020 season.
