Canadian Adam Svensson finishes second, five shots off lead at Korn Ferry Tour event

GLENVIEW, Ill. — Canadian Adam Svensson finished second Sunday in the Korn Ferry Tour’s Evans Scholars Invitational golf tournament, taking a big step toward securing a PGA Tour card for next year.

Svensson, of Surrey, B.C., carded a final-round 4-under 67 to finish with a 13-under, 271 total. American Cameron Young also shot a 67 on Sunday to post a 266 total and a five-stroke win.

Young earned US$108,000 for the victory while Svensson took home $54,000.
