Ryan Brehm needed a miracle in Puerto Rico to keep his PGA Tour status. He’s 18 holes away from getting it

For Ryan Brehm, a trip to balmy Puerto Rico this week has been anything but a relaxing vacation.

Playing on the final week of a medical exemption at the Puerto Rico Open, Brehm needs to finish either first or solo second to retain his PGA Tour status the rest of this season. A victory also would include a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour. Anything outside the top two Sunday means he’s headed back to the Korn Ferry Tour, where he’s a two-time winner.

With just 18 holes to play, however, Brehm has put himself in position to maintain Tour status, finishing with birdies on two of the final three holes and moving into a three-stroke lead after three rounds at Grand Reserve Golf Club.
