Former Kansas University golfer and Lawrence resident Chris Thompson earned the biggest check of his career by winning the eGolf Tour’s HGM Hotels Classic at Rock Barn in Conover, N.C.
Thompson, 33, fired rounds of 68, 62, 68, 68 to finish 21 under par, good for $33,852 and a two-stroke victory over the nearest competitors.
Good friend and former college teammate Ryan Vermeer, who missed the cut after shooting rounds of 68 and 72, caddied for Thompson during his final round.
