COLUMBUS, Ohio — Curtis Luck won the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship for his first Korn Ferry Tour title, getting up-and-down for par on the par-4 18th for an even-par 71 and a one-stroke victory over three players.

The 24-year-old Australian birdied the 15th and 16th holes and parred the final two to finish at 11 under at Ohio State’s Scarlet Course. He earned $180,000.

Theo Humphrey (67), Taylor Montgomery (68) and Cameron Young (71) tied for second. Humphrey birdied the par-4 18th, Montgomery finished with a bogey, and Young with a par.

In 2016, Luck beat Young in the Round of 16 en route to the U.S. Amateur title. The tournament was the third in the four-event Korn Ferry Tour Championship Series.
