Joseph Bramlett

Bramlett turned pro after graduating from Stanford and earned his PGA Tour card via Qualifying School in 2010. That next season he made just twelve of 25 cuts, finishing 196th on the 2011 money list. He lost his Tour card and hasn’t made it back since. Until Monday.

After battling severe back injuries for the better of the last five years, Bramlett will be back on Tour for the first time since 2011 after his T-26 finish at 7-under at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship.
