Christo Lamprecht of Georgia Tech and Michael Thorbjornsen of Stanford will go head-to-head at The Goodwin at TPC Harding Park
By Cameron Jourdan of Golfweek
As the college golf season creeps closer to the NCAA Championships, it’s becoming a two-horse race for a PGA Tour card.
Michael Thorbjornsen of Stanford retook the top spot in the PGA Tour University rankings for the Class of 2024. He lost the spot two weeks ago to Christo Lamprecht of Georgia Tech, but Thorbjornsen won the Cabo Collegiate in his last start and gained enough points to reclaim the No. 1 position.
Thorbjornsen is currently ranked No. 2 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings, while Lamprecht is ranked No. 5.
Thorbjornsen has a points average of 1356.8252 in 23 events, while Lamprecht sits at 1326.9016 points after 18 events. Nick Gabrelcik of North Florida, in the No. 3 spot, is more than 200 points behind Lamprecht with only a handful of events left to go that count toward standings.
