From start to finish, it was Adam Svensson’s week at the Web.com Tour Q-School.
The Canadian finished a dominant, wire-to-wire performance on Sunday at PGA National, firing a final-round 73 on the Champion Course to post a seven-shot victory at the pressure-packed event in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Svensson, 21, wasn’t as sharp in the final round as the three previous days – he had only two bogeys over the first 54 holes but accrued three bogeys Sunday.
But it didn’t matter. His opening 64-65-65 slate, split between the Fazio and Champion courses, earned him an eight-shot lead with one round to go and eventually brought him to a 20-under total, which was more than enough to earn medallist honours.
Ian Davis, 24, shot a final-round 69 to finish 13 under and register as Svensson’s closest pursuer. Three more players, Dominic Bozzelli, Ryan Brehm and Jason Millard, came in at 12 under for the week.
With the victory, Svensson earns a $25,000 cheque as well as fully exempt status on the 2016 Web.com Tour. That means he is exempt from any reshuffles, an advantage only the winner had the chance to earn.
Svensson turned pro in March and toggled between Web.com and Mackenzie Tour events. In six tournaments on the Mackenzie, Svensson earned two runners-up and a third in placing ninth on the money list in just six events. On the Web.com Tour, the tally was seven events but zero top 10s meant a 110th-place finish on that money list in limited action.
Svensson was the No. 1-ranked Division II college golfer in the country at the end of the 2013-14 season and earned the NCAA Division II Jack Nicklaus National Player of the Year award for his efforts. The 21-year-old left Barry University during the spring of his junior year to turn pro.

Here are some items of note from this year's final stage of Q-School, where 50 players earned full status for the 2016 Web.com Tour season:

• Ian Davis, who was a senior on Oklahoma State's 2014 NCAA runner-up squad, earned his card, but his former college teammate Talor Gooch, also a senior on that 2014 Cowboys team, did not as he finished T-93.
• Perhaps the most notable name in the field, Ollie Schniederjans, easily earned his card. The former Georgia Tech standout fired a final-round 76 but still finished T-9 at 6-under 280. Schniederjans' former Yellow Jackets teammate Anders Albertson also earned full status after a T-45 finish. Another Georgia Tech product, Richy Werenski, also got his card, at T-34.
• Wesley Bryan, a former South Carolina golfer and trick-shot extraordinaire, tied for ninth to earn his card.
• Denny McCarthy, a former Virginia standout and 2015 U.S. Walker Cup participant, shot 6-under 280 to finish T-9 and secure full status.
• Cheng-Tsung Pan, who already earned his Web.com Tour card via the MacKenzie Tour, shot 5-under 281 to tied for 14th. Pan played four seasons at Washington and won a school-record eight individual titles.
• Kyle Jones, a recent Baylor graduate who nearly made the U.S. Walker Cup team this fall, tied for 21st at 4-under 282.
• Jack Maguire, who recently turned pro halfway through his junior season at Florida State, failed to earn full status, but another former Seminole, Doug Letson, tied for 34th to secure his card.
• Steven Fox, the 2012 U.S. Amateur champion, will have full status after a T-45 finish. Fox bogeyed his final hole but held on to earn full status by a shot.
• Brian Campbell, who graduated from Illinois last spring, tied for 51st and was a shot shy of earning his card.
• Former Florida standout T.J. Vogel shot 78 in the final round and missed full status by a shot.
• Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, who was a US PGA Tour member last season, tied for 58th at even-par 286.
