PGA and LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournaments

The annual PGA and LPGA qualifying tournaments are underway and it’s always a surprise to see some of the “name” players at the PGA school trying to re-earn their cards for the big show. This year Bob May is at the marathon session trying to get back onto the PGA tour. Yes, it’s the same Bob May that went toe-to-toe with Tiger Woods at the 2000 PGA Championship. The other surprise at this year’s tournament is Lee Janzen. Janzen is a two-time U.S. Open winner (though he caught lightning in a bottle both times) and it goes to show that even seasoned veterans can fall on hard times.

On the LPGA side, the Big Break V winner Ashley Prange is trying to earn her card the hard way. She missed qualifying for the big tour by not finishing high-enough on the Futures Tour. It’s going to be a grueling test for Prange and this will definitely bring out the best and worst of her game.
