Pretty amazing what the pressure of Q-school can do to some guys. They weren’t TOO far from the end of the day and there were nine guys tied for the 25th spot.

The glass is half empty

Perhaps the bigger story is who failed to get their card.. I’m sure T-15 Rickie Fowler will get much more exposure than #1 Troy Meritt…. Tom Pernice has the best deal. He’s got some conditional status on the regular tour and full exemption on the Champions Tour.

I’m sure Mr. and Mrs. Phatlum are very proud of their daughter, Pornanong. But Brian Hammons better practice the name a bunch should she get in contention.

Yeah, there are quite a number of guys, like Jason Gore, that didn’t get their cards!

A Head shaker for sure....

Jason looked like a sure bet for stardom… Three time winner/ “battlefield promotion” from the Nationwide Tour. Shot a 59! All the potential for success you could imagine Great smile.. Good with the gallery, PGA win right out of the box….then wham! Tough way to make a living….

14? 16?

Not 18 and 20? Has the LPGA changed their categories?

by The Constructivist on Dec 8, 2009 1:05 PM EST reply actions  

I was using last year’s categories. The LPGA’s PDF of it was wrong, had 14, 16, and 16. It is 14, 16, 20.

offset from expanding the number of cards given to Futures Tour grads ? (just a guess)

Yikes

Jason Gore, started out excellent out of the gate and has fizzled since. I met him 3 times over the past 2 years. A really nice guy !!!!! And then there is my good Pal Tim ( Lumpy ) Herron. He has had a few back issues and other things going on in his life. I hope he can get back to a better place on tour. One of the nicest guys out there….jumpn/progolf
