Kingston golfer Noah Steele has earned a partial professional tour card.
Steele, a graduate of the NCAA’s Sam Houston State, compiled 996.25 points in five tournaments to finish third in the 2021 Mackenzie Tour – PGA Tour Canada standings.
Callum Davison was first and Blair Bursey was second.
Davison received exempt status for the entire 2022 PGA Tour Canada season, while Bursey and Steele and the two other top-five season finishers earned exempt status up until the first reshuffle based on player performance, Rob Leth of PGA Tour Canada said.
On Sunday at the Reliance Properties DC Bank Open in Victoria, B.C., Steele finished in a tie for 10th at 275, five under par.
Bursey won the tournament with a 270.
On Aug. 22, Steele won the tour’s Osprey Valley Open at the Heathlands course at TPC Toronto in Caledon with a 23 under par.
Earlier in the month, on Aug 5, Steele finished in a three-way tie fifth at the 116th Canadian men’s amateur golf championship at the Ambassador Golf Club in Windsor with a 15 under par.
In 2019, while at Sam Houston State, Steele shot a 54-hole, three-under-par 213 to win the NCAA Southland Conference Championship in McKinney, Texas. He also won a second tournament, the Sam Hall Intercollegiate, in mid-September of that year, firing a 54-hole total of 195.
