WAYLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — Local golfer Ben Cook qualified for the PGA Championship earlier this week after finishing fourth in the PGA Professional Championship in South Carolina.
Cook, a 2012 South Christian High graduate, played at Ferris State University. He qualified for this year’s PGA Professional Championship while he was working at Cascade Hills Country Club.
"I kind of had a good idea where I was going into the last day, especially the last round,” Cook said. "I was in the last five holes, and I thought, 'alright if I par out, I'm going to be playing in a major. Let's make some good pars and let's finish this thing out.'"
The top 20 finishers in the tournament qualified for this year's PGA Championship, which will be hosted at the historic Bethpage Black Course in New York.
