Point Judith’s Jeffrey Martin has earned a berth in the PGA Championship in August.

Martin, who is back playing the New England circuit after competing on the Nationwide Tour, fired rounds of 72-68-70-74 and tied for 10th in the PGA Professional National Championship at Reynolds Plantation in Georgia.

Rain interrupted the final round today with Martin on the 15th hole and tied for fifth. Martin bogeyed the 15th and double-bogeyed the 16th after play resumed. However, he responded with a birdie on the 17th and still qualified, with two strokes to spare, for the 90th PGA Championship to be held Aug. 7-10 at Oakland Hills in Bloomfield Township, Mi.

The top 20 finishers will join the PGA Tour regulars in that $7 million event.
