Congrats to Jay Williamson one of 28 players (in a starting field of 163) who succeeded in his quest for a 2009 PGA TOUR card. Here's an excerpt from a post-round write-up from the PGA Tour's website:
For most, the end of the six-round q-school was simply a relief.
Jay Williamson, who is 0-for-325 in his 12 years on TOUR, reached the third round of the FedExCup playoffs this year, but missed his final six cuts of the year and finished 137th on the money list, sending the 41-year-old back to q-school. He appeared to be in good shape until a double bogey on the 13th hole, but Williamson came back with an approach to 3 feet for birdie.
"The shot of the year for me," he said.
Williamson could afford a three-putt bogey on the final hole for a 70 to make it on the number at 19-under 413.
"Christmas has started as of right now for me," Williamson said.
Each of the remaining LBG contenders earned fully-exempt Nationwide Tour status. Not what they were after, of course, but still a coveted status in the world of professional golf. But now the night gremlins come: Less than one shot per round kept Scott and John from joining Jay, and exactly one shot per round kept Neal out. Tough league.
Congratulations to all 4 players. They all played some fantastic golf for 6 days. Who would ever have guessed it would take 19 under on 2 very difficult courses!?!?!?!
You and ALL your LBG players should be very proud of their performance!
Kevin
