David Lingmerth wins Korn Ferry Tour’s 2022 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship to punch ticket back to PGA Tour

Lingmerth may want to consider buying some property in Central Ohio.

David Lingmerth may reside in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, but the 35-year-old Swede might want to consider buying some property in Central Ohio.

After starting the week with a blistering 9-under 62 at The Ohio State University Golf Club’s Scarlet Course in Upper Arlington, Ohio, Lingmerth held tough for the next 54 holes to win the 2022 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship by two shots at 17 under. The victory punched Lingmerth a ticket back to the PGA Tour, where he won the 2015 Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, a Columbus suburb.

Lingmerth was steady over the front nine and made the turn at 2-under before adding his third birdie of the round on the par-5 12th. His lone blemish of the day came with a bogey on the par-3 17th, but was soon washed away with a winning birdie on the final hole.

Paul Haley II finished second at 15 under, followed by Zecheng Dou third at 13 under, Michael Gligic fourth at 12 under and Ben Taylor in fifth at 11 under.

The Korn Ferry Tour season ends next week, Sept. 1–4, with the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance at Victoria National Golf Club in Newburgh, Indiana.
