GASTONIA, NC – Canadian Mackenzie Hughes fired a 7-under 64 on Monday at the Gaston Country Club to nab one of four spots in the PGA TOUR’s Wells Fargo Championship this week.

Hughes, a 25-year-old Dundas, Ont., native, carded a bogey-free round to share a three-way tie of second place. The trio trailed medalist Corey Nagy of Charlotte, N.C., by one stroke.

The Young Pro Squad member has played seven times on the Web.Com Tour this year, making four cuts in total—he currently sits at No. 99 on the money list.

The Kent State alumnus is set to join fellow Canucks Graham DeLaet, David Hearn, Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor when play begins this Thursday at Quail Hollow.
