He was joined by two other All-Americans who will be rookies next year ¡ª
Nicholas Thompson from Georgia Tech, who tied for third; and Jeff Overton from
Indiana, who tied for 13th.
They were among 10 players who made it through all three stages of
qualifying. That group included Alex Aragon, who went from a tie for 65th to his
tour card by closing with a 65; and Henrik Bjornstad, the first Norwegian player
on the PGA Tour.
The next 46 players earned full status on the Nationwide Tour next year, a
group that includes Dan Forsman, Steve Stricker and Cameron Beckman, all past
champions on the PGA Tour.
Past tour winners who earned their cards included Frank Lickliter and Bill
Glasson.
"This is life or death, basically," Glasson said after struggling to a 74 to
make it by one. "At least for me on the regular tour, there is always next week
or the week after. Out here, there is no next week. It was tough."
