WICHITA, Kan. – June 22, 2025 – The Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open at Crestview Country Club produced a dream weekend for Nova Scotian golfer Myles Creighton, as the 29‑year‑old delivered a hole-in-one on Friday, a historic 11-under 59 on Saturday, and closed with a composed 2-under 68 on Sunday to clinch his first Korn Ferry Tour victory at 17-under par .
Friday: From the Brink to an Ace
Creighton started three-over through 27 holes but rallied with a 5-under on the back nine—including a stunning hole-in-one at the par-3 12th hole—to narrowly make the cut at even par (ctvnews.ca+3scoregolf.com+3golfdigest.com+3). It was the spark that ignited his incredible weekend.
Saturday: The Historic 59
In blustery conditions, Creighton carded 12 birdies and just one bogey, capped by a dramatic chip-in at the 18th, to become the 15th player in Korn Ferry Tour history to record a sub-60 round, and the first Canadian to do so (golfdigest.com+1scoregolf.com+1en.wikipedia.org+5espn.com+5scoregolf.com+5). He shared a 15-under clubhouse lead, setting up a showdown on moving day.
Sunday: The Magician Seals the Deal
Despite starting the day 1-over through nine, Creighton rebounded with an eagle on 11 and three birdies on the back nine, finishing with a steady 2-under 68, edging out Emilio González by one stroke and claiming the title (en.wikipedia.org+6sportsnet.ca+6scoregolf.com+6).
Second Year, One Goal: Top 30 & a PGA Tour Card
This win comes in Creighton’s second season on the Korn Ferry Tour, marking his 41st Tour start. Before this breakthrough, he had climbed from well outside contention, noted as having no top-10s in 13 starts this season (golfdigest.com+1en.wikipedia.org+1). Now, he surges to No. 16 on the season points list, putting him inside the top 20—and well on his way to cracking the top 30 needed to earn his PGA Tour card for 2026.
Creighton has shown grit throughout the season, making the last eight cuts in a row and thriving under Friday pressure—a testament to his Sunday mentality (golfdigest.com+2sportsnet.ca+2facebook.com+2).
