For Star subscribers: Those who finish in the Top 25 of the Korn Ferry Tour’s year-long points list will earn playing privileges on the 2023 PGA Tour.

Greg Hansen Trevor Werbylo jumped into a lake fully clothed last week, and it had nothing to do with fishing, skin diving or falling off a boardwalk.

"I’m soaking it all in," Werbylo said Wednesday as he prepared for the ongoing Savannah Championship in Georgia."It’s been a big jump for me, but I know I’m getting closer to playing on the PGA Tour." After shooting 63-64 in the final two rounds, taking a two-shot lead, Trevor watched as Kim Seong-hyeon birdied 17 and 18 to force a playoff. Almost nothing in the three-hole playoff suggested Werbylo would prevail.

"Oh, I did a fist pump or two a few holes earlier," he says."I didn’t do anything crazy. I’m not too emotional. But I have a great appreciation for what it takes to win. The competition out here is exceptional." After that, the Werbylo’s took advantage of Tucson’s historic Ricki Rarick junior golf program on the city’s municipal courses. Trevor could play those five courses for $5 most afternoons. It’s the same route followed by Werbylo’s Tucson predecessors on the PGA Tour: Rincon High School's Michael Thompson and Sahuaro High School's Rich Barcelo.

Trevor Werbylo’s baseball career ended. He became an All-City golfer as a freshman and improved so much that Arizona coach Jim Anderson offered him a scholarship. Few, if anyone, predicted that Werbylo would finish his four years at Arizona with a career scoring average of 71.4, better than the UA’s PGA Tour regulars such as Rory Sabbatini, Ricky Barnes, Jim Furyk and Robert Gamez.
