Iles in line for PGA tour card

8:02 am on 17 June 2009

The Bay of Plenty golfer Bradley Iles is in line for a PGA tour card for next year after his best result on the United States Nationwide Tour.

Iles' career best round of 63 at the Knoxville Open in Tennessee yesterday got him into a sudden death playoff with Kevin Johnson which the American won on the second extra hole.

Iles' $92,000 payday improved him 64 places to 21st on the money list.

The New Zealand PGA Champion Steven Alker is eighth on the list.
