It was the second win of the year for Knost, who captured the Fort Smith Classic in May, and advanced from No. 20 to No. 2 on the Nationwide Tour money list. At season's end, the 25 top money-winners will earn PGA TOUR cards next year.
Knost is the first wire-to-wire winner on the Nationwide Tour this year and his round of 62 matches the lowest round of the year.
''Honestly, I didn't know if I could shoot 20 to 25 under par in a tournament,'' said Knost. ''Even after the practice round, I told everyone I don't see 20 under out here, but I've never hit my irons as good as I have this week.'' Statistically, he tied for first in fairways hit, tied for second in greens in regulation and tied for first in putting.
