The Arizona State Univeristy alumnus competed at the Farmers Insurance Open qualifier on Monday at Bear Creek Golf Club in Murrieta, CA, where he was one of four to make the cut and earn a spot to compete in this week’s PGA Tour event.
By qualifying for the Farmers Insurance Open, it will be du Toit’s first PGA Tour Event since the RBC Canadian Open three years ago. du Toit finished -2 in the qualifier, with a pair of birdries on holes 17 and 18 to lock up his spot. This will be the fourth PGA Tour event for the 25-year-old.
