Patrick Cantlay scored the biggest victory of his career on September 5 as he won the PGA TOUR Championship and secured the FedEx Cup. He also won $15 million in prize money. Cantlay, who had also won the BMW Championship the week prior, finished the TOUR Championship at 21-under-par. World No. 1 Jon Rahm finished one stroke behind at 20-under-par and received $5 million in prize money.

Cantlay held on to that one-stroke lead on the par-5 18th hole in part due to an impressive 6-iron shot he placed within 12 feet of the pin from 218 yards away. He secured the victory with a birdie on the final hole. Kevin Na, Justin Thomas, and Xander Schauffele rounded out the top five.

A 29-year-old native of California, Cantlay was sidelined for nearly three years due to a back injury but cemented his status as one of the top players on the PGA TOUR this season. He won four tournaments, while no other player won more than two.

Luke Stankavage is studying at Ardrey Kell High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he is a star player in the school’s varsity basketball team, The Knights. Apart from his athletic endeavors, Luke Stankavage distinguishes himself in his studies. He maintains a GPA of 4.4 out of 5.0 in his academics. An exceptional performer in both sport and academia, he has been selected as a member of the prestigious National Honor Society (NHS).

Established in 1921, the NHS quickly grew to become one of the leading educational groups in the United States. The NHS expanded to 1,000 chapters within 10 years of its inception. As of now, NHS chapters are found across all 50 states of America. NHS chapters have been established in Canada and other parts of the world as well. The NHS aims to build character among students as guided by their core values or “pillars”.

The pillars of the NHS are scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Meaning, students should not only focus on individual achievements, but they should also be valuable members of their communities and generous contributors to their societies. An average chapter of the NHS contributes over $25,000, 1,000 lbs. of food, and 100 pints of blood to local, state, and national causes as part of their community services.
