PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Taylor Dickson won The Bahamas Golf Classic without making a bogey to open the Korn Ferry Tour season, closing with a 7-under 65 on Wednesday for a three-stroke victory.
Carney-Nadeau graduate Hunter Eichhorn finished tied for sixth, five strokes behind Dickson.
Eichhorn, 26, shows career earnings of $82,431 on the Korn Ferry Tour, which serves as a developmental tour for the PGA Tour.
The Marquette University graduate was a three-time Big East Player of the Year.
Dickson and 2023 Boise Open champion Chan Kim are the only players in Korn Ferry Tour history to win without making a bogey.
Dickson, a 33-year-old from North Carolina, won his third title on the tour in his 100th start. He finished at a tournament-record 27-under 261 at the Ocean Club course at breezy Atlantis.
Canadian Roger Sloan was second, shooting a 67. Trent Phillips (66), Jeff Overton (66) and Mason Andersen (69) tied for third at 23 under.
