P – Australian golfer Bronson La’Cassie is headed to the US PGA Tour next season after winning the secondary Web.com Tour’s Cox Classic in a playoff.
Queenslander La’Cassie, 30, beat American Matt Bettencourt with a par on the third extra hole of sudden-death in Omaha, Nebraska on Sunday.
La’Cassie had closed with a four-under 67 to match Bettencourt (67) at 21-under 263 at Champions Run.
The win and the $US144,000 first prizemoney in the last regular event of the tour season lifted him from 33rd to sixth on the Web.com Tour money list with $US255,629 in season earnings.
