Obecny qualified through open qualifying earlier this week, claiming one of the eight open spots for the Utah Championship. The Wheeling, W.Va. native earned one of the final spots in this week's field via a 6-for-3 playoff at 7-under 65 along with Josh McCarthy and David Timmins. In total, 110 players competed in open qualifying.
The Korn Ferry Tour is the developmental tour for the PGA Tour. Since the 2013 season, it has been the primary pathway for professional golfers seeking to earn their PGA Tour card.
