Adrien Dumont de Chassart got his first Korn Ferry start in June and has been nothing short of sensational.
The Korn Ferry Tour, which visits the Chicago area for the fifth straight year this week, provides a path for young golf stars to get to the PGA Tour.
His collegiate career barely over, Dumont de Chassart won in his first professional start, beating Josh Teater in a playoff. The next week he was in a playoff again, at the Wichita Open. He didn't survive the three-man shootout there, but came back with a tie for eighth at Illinois' other Korn Ferry stop, the Memorial Health event in Springfield.

This year, the top 30 after the last putt drops in the finals on Oct. 8 earn PGA Tour membership, so Dumont de Chassart is in great shape to take his skills to golf's next level.
The NV5 Invitational, which tees off on Thursday at The Glen Club in Glenview, has produced four winners now playing on the PGA Tour, and two of them are doing more than just participating. This week's tournament has a $1 million purse with $180,000 going to the champion on Sunday. Play begins at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday and Friday and 7:30 on the weekend rounds.
Jasmine Koo, a 17-year old who has committed to Southern California, won the 123rd Women's Western Amateur at White Eagle in Naperville, beating Sadie Englemann, a senior at Stanford, 4 and 2 in the finals.
