Two Australians and one New Zealander have advanced from the first series of venues at stage two qualifying for the USPGA Tour and they will now tee it up at the final stage at Winter Garden in Florida starting on November 30th.
Queenslander Andrew Buckle, West Australian Steve Collins and New Zealander Tim Wilkinson graduated from their respective venues and each will take their chances at the final stage for the first time.
Several Australians missed their chance with James Nitties perhaps feeling it most, finishing with a last round 76 to miss by two.
Other Australasians are scheduled to line up in the next series starting this Wednesday including Scott Gardiner, who will today take a one shot lead into the final round of the Greater Building Society Queensland PGA Championship.
Steve Allan, Nick Flanagan, Ryan Haller, Brad Heaven, Michael Long, Aron Price, Terry Pilkadaris, Grant Waite, Steve Alker, Martin Doyle, Scott Hend, Matthew Jones, Anthony Painter and Richard Swift are also looking to advance.
