He lost in a playoff to Robert Streb at The McGladrey Classic and finished T10 at last week’s Puerto Rico Open. De Jonge remains in search of his first career PGA TOUR win in his 221 st TOUR start. His two closest calls were this year’s McGladrey Classic playoff loss and his second-place showing in Las Vegas.
