De Jonge with a top-10 finish on PGA Tour

Former Tech golfer Brendon de Jonge finished in a tie for 10th place at the Northern Trust Open held at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., this past weekend. It marked his first top-10 finish of the season and just the third of his career. In 2007, he finished in a tie for ninth at the Mayakoba Golf Classic held in Mexico, and later that season, he came in tied for sixth at the Reno-Tahoe Open held in Reno, Nev. – the best finish of his PGA Tour career.

Last year, he participated exclusively on the Nationwide Tour, where he won a tournament and finished second on the tour’s money list, earning his PGA Tour card for this season.

With his 10th-place finish, de Jonge won $157,500. This season, he’s made four cuts in six tournaments and pocketed more than $225,000.
