Cantlay, Webb Simpson, Billy Horschel and Peter
Malnati are now on a ballot to determine which
two should be co-chairs of the PAC, and then
move up to become player-directors on the PGA
Tour board for a three-year term starting in 2023.
The election ends Feb. 14, the Monday after the
Phoenix Open.
Asked why he agreed to be on the ballot,
Cantlay said, “I hope to be playing the PGA Tour
for a long time, and if I have a chance to make it
better, I probably should.”
The other PAC members are Paul Casey, Austin
Cook, Joel Dahmen, Harry Higgs, Russell
Knox, Brooks Koepka, Justin Lower, Graeme
McDowell, Maverick McNealy, Trey Mullinax
and Will Zalatoris.
YOUTH IS SERVED
The player who finished third in the Singapore
International on the Asian Tour was five years
younger than the winner, not extraordinary
except the winner, Joohyung Kim, was only 19.
Ratchanon Chantananuwat, the 14-year-old Thai
amateur, made a strong run and had the lead
at one point in the final round. A double bogey
on the 17th hole gave him a 69 and left him two
shots out of the playoff.
Chantananuwat twice made the cut on the
Asian Tour when it resumed late last year,
including a tie for 15th. With a third-place finish
in Singapore — the teen’s first time playing
outside Thailand — he becomes the youngest
player to crack the top 500 in the world ranking.
The previous record belonged to Ryo Ishikawa,
who won the first professional event he played
