After opening with 68-66-70, Russell finished at 14-under-par total to tie for 20th place. The finish in which he jumped 28 positions on the leaderboard on the final day, gives him an exemption into next week's Veritex Bank Championship at Rangers Park in Arlington, Texas. He's the youngest player to finish inside the top 20 on the PGA of Korn Ferry tours, according to records that go back to 1983.
