FALMOUTH, Maine. – Chad Ramey earned his first Korn Ferry Tour title Sunday at the Live and Work in Maine Open, carding a final-round 68 at Falmouth CC to secure a one-stroke win over his good friend Josh Creel.
After Creel thrilled the rowdy Maine fans with a final-round 64 earlier in the day, posting 15-under total for 72 holes, Ramey produced steady golf down the stretch. The Mississippi State alum closed with five consecutive pars to finish 16-under, one clear of Creel.
Interestingly, Ramey began the week with a 2-iron in his bag, but replaced it with a hybrid after Thursday’s opening round. The decision proved effective.
“I had a 2-iron in for the first 18 … then No. 17 was the main reason I put the hybrid in,” reflected Ramey on Sunday afternoon. “I thought there were a couple of holes where I could use a 2-iron off the tee, but in the first round, there wasn’t really an opportunity. The wind was switching back-and-forth, and I really decided that there was only one time that I could hit the 2-iron, and two or three times I could hit the hybrid.”
Ramey hit the par-5 17th green in two Saturday, employing that hybrid, en route to a two-putt birdie.
With the victory, Ramey moves to No. 3 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List as he readies for his rookie PGA TOUR season in 2021-22.
