PGA Q-School Sends 40

The fall golf marathon, also known as the PGA Qualifying School completed on Monday and 40 players played well enough to earn their PGA tour cards. I watched the replay of the final two rounds and it really was compelling golf to watch as some players spit-the-bit coming home, and other players hit clutch shots when they needed them.

On the 18th hole of the Nicklaus course, there’s water down the left side, and almost to a person, anyone that was in contention bailed right of the fairway and then had to negotiate their up and down for par. I can’t imagine the pressure these guys are under and some have been coming to Q-school for 10 years! One thing I didn’t see (or the Golf Channel didn’t show) was a lot of club throwing or other raw emotions as guys were finishing the last few holes.

Congrats to those that made it, but your work is really just beginning.
