Bethune-Cookman Alum Willie Mack III is set for his first Korn Ferry Tour appearance of 2021 and second overall beginning Thursday at the Huntsville (Ala.) Championship.

Mack made two appearances on the PGA tour earlier this year, finishing outside the cut at the Farmer's Insurance Open and the Genesis Invitational  

The Korn Ferry tour is the PGA Tour's version of AAA baseball. You move up to the PGA tour by finishing in the top 25 of the tour's point standings  with a 25 additional PGA Tour cards (The Finals 25) being available through the three-tournament Korn Ferry Tour Finals.

Mack, who received a sponsor's exemption for this weekend's tournament, has played in one previous Korn Ferry Tour event — the 2018 LECOM Health Challenge at Shorewood Country Club in upstate New York. He fired a course record 60 during a  qualifying event to earn a spot in that tournament.

His most recent outing was a fifth place finish at the APGA's Las Vegas event.

Mack is scheduled to tee off at 8:41 a.m. Thursday and Friday at 1:56 p.m.
