Wolfe seized control with an eagle on the par-5 14th hole, only to drop shots on each of the next two holes before finishing up with two pars. It was his second win of the year on the Korn Ferry Tour, and one more will earn him an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour. Pendrith, who held the clubhouse lead after a career-best round of 62 on Friday, had a chance to tie and force a playoff with 15-footer for birdie on the final hole but had to settle for par. His runner-up result was his fourth second-place finish of the season and moved him to second on the Korn Ferry Tour points list. …Adam Svensson made up eight places in the final round for his fourth straight top 30 result. …Stuart Macdonald’s opening round 66 was the lowest of his career on the Korn Ferry Tour and left him just three shots off the lead
