2013 Web.com Tour Qualifying School

1st Stage - Dayton, Nevada

This week Derek played in the first stage of Web.com Tour Qualifying School (formerly PGA Tour Qualifying School) down in Dayton, Nevada at Dayton Valley Country Club.

This is a course Derek is familiar with, as he has played here several occasion for past PGA Tour qualifying.  His four round scores were: 72-68-72-70, finishing at -6 total (282).  He just got off the golf course from his fourth and final round, hence me providing the blog update this time (Candice). As Derek put it "Ahhh, it feels good to be done.  I hit it solid all day today, and for the majority of the round I two-putted from 40 feet.  I couldn't hit anything that close due to the wind and the pin placements, combined with firm and fast greens.  Of all 4 of the rounds this week, this was my most solid round.  I am relieved to be off the course, and headed home in the morning.". 

Today's round consisted of one bogey on #9, and three birdies on #s 3, 11 and 15.  Derek finished in 5th overall, which easily advances him to the 2nd stage of q school. Location and date of 2nd stage is tbd, depending on the location he gets assigned.  To see the full results, along with hole by hole stats see the results page here.

All American Tour - Event #12 - Derek Finishes T4

This week's All American Tour event was out at Sundance Golf Club in Buckeye, Arizona.

Derek had a great tournament this week, and posted rounds of69, 68, and 69.  Derek was -5 for the day going into the 17th tee, but an unfortunate drive caused him to take an unplayable and therefore a double on #17.  He finished at -3 for the day, with a three round today of -10.

This got him a T4th finish for this event. Tournament Info and the leaderboard can be found here.

Next week he plays at Anthem GC (formerly scheduled as a Gateway Tour Event). More info to come on this next week.

All American and Gateway Tours Merge

I have been playing on both the Gateway Pro Tour and the All American Tour this winter, down here in Phoenix.  It was announced last week that these two tours will merge, since the All American Tour bought out the Gateway Pro Tour. For more info on the merge, go here: http://gatewayprotour.com/the-all-american-tour-and-gateway-pro-tour-merge/ .

So what that means for us golfs is that we no longer have to pick which tour to play in each week..  There were a few co-sanctioned events with these two tours in the past few weeks. Now the schedule will likely be more complete (less non-tournament weeks we are hoping), and all golfers will be competing in one tournament. 

We are not sure if the two website will merge, so for now you can continue to follow along with:
