It was less than two weeks ago that Tom Lewis decided to skip the Omega European Masters in Switzerland and instead make his first career Korn Ferry Tour start this week at Victoria National.
“I’m not very good at altitude, so I decided I’d come here and sweat a lot,” said the 28-year-old Lewis, who has played almost exclusively in Europe since turning pro in 2011.
The last-minute decision is paying off so far.
Lewis shot 6-under 66 Saturday to climb into a tie for second at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship and move into position to secure a PGA Tour card for the first time.
