CANTON, Miss. — Canada’s Adam Svensson has earned a berth in this week’s PGA Tour event through its Monday qualifier.

The native of Surrey, B.C., shot a 6-under 66 to earn one of four spots in the Sanderson Farms Championship, starting Thursday in Jackson, Miss.

Svensson tied for second in the Monday qualifier before surviving a 4-for-3 playoff for the final three spots.

Stephan Jaegar won the qualifier with an 8-under 64.

Svensson, 25, joins fellow Canadians Corey Conners, David Hearn, Michael Gligic and Nick Taylor in the second event of the 2019-20 PGA season.
