The following is a release from the Korn Ferry Tour:
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – If anyone at the Huntsville Championship is due for a Sunday breakthrough, it’s Paul Barjon.
The Frenchman has been here a handful of times this season. He took a share of the lead into the weekend multiple times. He led after 54 holes. He even came from behind and played his way into a playoff. Maybe this time around a three-stroke lead atop “Huntsville Mountain” will be what Barjon needs to summit a Korn Ferry Tour leaderboard for the first time in his career.
