Michael Thompson closed the deal.
After three fantastic rounds at the Albertsons Boise Open he entered the final round tied for first. But he saved his best golf for the last round. He finished Sunday with a bogey free seven under par 64 to win the Boise Open by three shots over Miguel Angel Carballo. His final total of -23 marks his lowest score over 72 holes in a professional event (as far was we can tell).
The win means Michael is assured of earning a PGA Tour card for next year and he is currently first on the Web.com Tour Finals money list.
Michael looked calm and in control over his final round and he stayed out of trouble for the most part. He hit 16 out of 18 greens in regulation in the final round. For the tournament, he was tied for first in putts per green in regulation, tied for fourth in driving accuracy and he had the most birdies. All in all, it was a recipe for success.
“It’s a huge confidence boost, to know that you can do it on such a big stage on a big level. These four Web.com Tour Finals events mean a lot to all of us. We all want to get our card, especially the guys that lost it last year. I hope that this continues to breed confidence going forward. I feel good about my game.”
