Jim Renner, a student of Drew Chapman, PGA (our own Drewitgolf http://lynnblakegolf.com/index.php/P...-gseb-pga.html) made the cut in his first tournament as an exempt player on the PGA TOUR. He was 'in position' after a fine first round 69, but two bogies and a double in a five-hole stretch on the front nine of the second round really hurt: the "made cut but did not finish" rule (that usually applies after Round 3) was applied to the entire 36 holes of Sunday's closing finish.

To Jim's credit, he hung tough and made four birdies in the remaining ten holes, but it wasn't quite good enough. All the best, Jim, for the West Coast swing!

Thanks for the kind words, Yoda. Despite making the cut, but not playing the weekend, Jim took home $10,395.00 in his first official event. He finished second in driving distance 308.0 and I believe first overall in driving. But, as we all know, drive for show.
