NEWBURGH, Ind. – The culmination of the 2021 Korn Ferry Tour Finals and the 2020-21 Korn Ferry Tour season wrapped up on Sunday at Victoria National Golf Club as Joseph Bramlett won his first tournament title. Bramlett pulled away during the final round to finish four clear of the field at 20-under to win the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance, joining 24 other graduates on Sunday evening in securing 2021-22 PGA TOUR membership through the Finals points standings.

…

Bramlett was neck and neck with University of Alabama alum Trey Mullinax early on Sunday before an explosive back nine helped him distance himself from the field. Bramlett posted seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch (Nos. 9-16) to reach 20-under. With the win, Bramlett secures his return to the PGA TOUR where he has competed for the last two seasons.

“Extremely excited, yeah, I can't wait; I've had a taste the last couple years and to have it again is really, really gratifying,” said Bramlett. “It's a huge deal, man. Every week you're playing for life-changing opportunities. Yeah, it took me a long time to get my card back in 2019 and it was one of the biggest days of my life. So I'm just so excited and congratulatory to everybody who got their first card today. It's a really, really big deal.”

The win at Victoria National was especially gratifying for Bramlett who had had mixed emotions at the venue in year’s past. In 2013, he was in contention before closing bogey-bogey-double bogey to finish outside the top-10. The following week, Bramlett’s back gave out, setting off essentially a five-year period away from professional golf.

“The last tournament I played in 2013 was here and so I spent four and a half years thinking a lot about this course and a lot about my finish that day,” said Bramlett. “I went bogey-bogey-double bogey my last three holes before I got hurt, so that really stuck with me. To be able to come full circle and get my first victory here is very great.”

…

Joseph Bramlett also earned fully exempt status and a PLAYERS exemption by virtue of topping the Finals points standings.

“I’ve never had that before, so it's a big deal,” said Bramlett of his elevated status. “I'm sure it will set in. I honestly don't even know what it means yet, so I'm going to learn more about it. But the fact that I know I'm going to Sawgrass next year is sick, man. I can't wait.”
