Steelman, a former Rock Bridge High and Missouri men’s golf player, secured the season-long points list title on the Korn Ferry Tour on Sunday. By winning the yearlong points race, Steelman earned a spot in both the 2027 U.S. Open and the 2027 PLAYERS Championship. The Columbia local moved ahead of Scotland’s Sandy Scott in the final week of the season with a tied-for-12th finish at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, which was played Thursday through Sunday in Virginia.
