PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Carson Klawonn from West Palm Beach, FL fired 134 (65-69) to win 2026 Qualifying School Contest #3 on the Champ course at PGA National.
Klawonn started the final round two shots ahead of Michael Sweeney and that's exactly how it would finish. Sweeney birdied #10 to go one shot in front of Carson but bogies on 12,15 and 17 by Sweeney would be the difference. He birdied the final hole but it wasn't enough to catch Carson.
Congratulations Carson and good luck this year at Q-School.
34 of the 74 players chose to enter the optional $200 Qualifying School Contest. Klawonn earned $5k to put towards his Q-School entry fee this fall, Sweeney earned $1,800 to put towards his.
A big thank you to PGA National for hosting and Britto &a Herman Injury Lawyers for sponsoring the event.
