Q-School Time


Yes, it's time for Q-School, those stressful rounds in early December that determine whether touring golf professionals will have a job next year. The PGA Tour wannabes will play six rounds with only the top 25 earning cards. The rest of the 163 players in the field will have status of some sort on the Nationwide Tour. Last year, Frank Lickliter finished first at -29. Alas, he only won $548,113 which put him 149th on the money list and he is back at school again. One former major winner, Mark Brooks, is in this week's field.


On the LPGA Tour, entrants will play five rounds. The field will be cut to the low 70 and ties after 72 holes and the top 20 finishers will earn their cards. Michelle Wie is in the field and was T-6 after the first round at -3.
