North Oaks’ Frankie Capan III in hunt at PGA Tour event in Bermuda
Frankie Capan III continues to play well this fall.
The North Oaks’ native — Minnesota’s lone PGA Tour member — birdied the final three holes of his third round Saturday in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship to get to 9-under for the tournament.
That has the recently-turned 26 years old in a tie for eighth, just three shots back of leaders Adam Schenk and Braden Thornberry heading into the final round.
Capan will tee off at 6:54 a.m. Sunday. Television coverage on the Golf Channel begins at 10 a.m.
This is the second-to-last event of the fall season that determines who keeps their PGA Tour cards for the 2026 campaign. The top 100 in the season-long standings at the end of next week’s RSM Classic will have full-time status on the golf’s top tour, while the golfers in spots 101-125 will have conditional status.
Capan entered the week in the 142nd spot. His current eighth-place standing in the event would move him up to 134th. The better he plays Sunday, the higher he’ll climb up the ladder.
Capan has made a major move this fall via his strong play. He finished in a tie for sixth at the Sanderson Farms Championship in early October, and this weekend marks his third made cut over his past four events.
