BY Bruce Young | US PGA Tour | 2007 USPGA Tour Q-School - Stage Two | Round Four | 18 Nov 2007
Qualifying at all six Stage Two USPGA Tour qualifying venues has been completed and nine Australasians have played their way through to the Final Stage in Florida commencing on November 28th.
Cameron Percy led his venue at Craig Ranch in Dallas in Texas by four shots while Jacobs Creek Open runner up David Lutterus finished 4th and has also advanced. Kane Webber narrowly missed out on one of the twenty places available when he finished 24th, while Steve Bowditch and Phil Tataurangi have also missed out on advancing to the final stage.
At the other Texas venue in Houston, Andrew Bonhomme has finished 4th while Richard Swift and Ben Ferguson are out.
In Dade City in Florida, Grant Waite has finished 10th but for Brad Heaven, Ben Lammi and Scott Hend their journey is over.
In Panama City in Florida, New Zealander Tim Wilkinson kept his USPGA Tour dreams alive when he finished 6th but for Steve Dartnall, Doug Holloway, Paul Gow, Josh Carmichael, Bronson La Cassie and Brad Hughes they must reassess their options for 2008.
At Maricopa in Arizona, exciting New Zealand talent, Brad Iles finished 4th and Victorian Brad lamb 13th and appear assured of some status on either the PGA or Nationwide Tours in 2008.
Michael Sim agonisingly finished 22nd and will not advance although he may be eligible for some form of USPGA Tour Medical Exemption in 2008 after a back injury caused him to miss several events early in the year. Kim Felton missed out at the same venue when he finished 36th.
In Beaumont in California, Greg Chalmers finished runner up and Sydney’s Won Joon Lee finished 4th and are both on their way to Florida. Marc Leishman, Andrew Tchsudin, Kurt Barnes, Steve Jeffress, Aaron Townsend, David Diaz and Aaron Pike have missed out at the same venue.
