It is his second Korn Ferry Tour victory, but his first since 2017.

Uihlein’s Final Round 

Uihlein opened the round red hot, birding three of the first four holes, and four of the first seven to immediatly take control of the tournament. 

He dropped another birdie on the 12th hole before giving shots back at 13 and 17, however, it would not make much of a difference. 

His closest competitor, David Lipsky and Jamie Lovemark, were four shots behind him.
