The Q-Schools are over. In the LPGA Q-School the number one surprises have been Christina Kim getting best conditional status and Mel Reid missing the cut. But we're going to be seeing each of them lots, I suspect -- Kim is famous and Reid nevertheless has her LET club.
But there had been quite some surprises on the PGA Q-School. You can see the overall outcomes at this hyperlink -- 26 gamers got Tour playing cards -- however I'll simply factor out a number of the extra thrilling outcomes. Bear in thoughts that the winning rating for the 6 rounds become -25.
Kris Blanks were given his card quite without difficulty after missing maximum of the season with injury. He was so gung-ho to play that I'm not certain his finish turned into ever doubtful. He completed T4 at -23.
Two-time coronary heart transplant recipient Erik Compton put on a run the closing days to finish T7 at -22. His tale is the sort that sportswriters love, and it allows that he is simply such a nice guy.
And I even have to mention Mr. Monday, Patrick Reid. Finishing right on the range -- T22 at -17 -- he said his fiance can be on his bag again subsequent 12 months. Except she'll be his spouse then; they're getting married later this month.
I can not even begin to list all the surprises who ignored out on a card. Yeah, I know there is handiest such a lot of cards to move around and there is usually a number of call players who end up lacking out... However multiple event winner Camilo Villegas (T32)? Morgan Hoffman, who become near the lead after 2 rounds (T73)? ET Tour players like Oliver Fisher (T27 -- missed by a single stroke) and Alex Noren (T73)? Nick O'Hern, the "Tiger Killer" in healthy play (T104)?
Many of the players who overlooked out gets Web.Com Tour cards... Or have European Tour playing cards... Or will find other approaches to get in events. (Jerry Kelly used a one-time exemption so he wouldn't ought to visit Q-School at all.)
But any manner you chop it, the die is solid. Everybody is aware of what they have got... Or do not have, because the case can be. What surprises will 2013 have for them... And for us? I cannot wait to discover.
