Six Coloradans find themselves inside the cut line going into Friday’s final round of Web.com Pre-Qualifying at two sites.
Beau Schoolcraft of Denver moved up to fourth place at a tournament in Lincoln, Neb., thanks to a 4-under-par 67 on Thursday that left him at 4-under 138 overall. He made six birdies on the day.
With the top 38 finishers and ties from the site advancing to the First Stage of Q-school, also on the right side of the cut line after two days are Dustin Mills of Broomfield (142, 18th place), David Oraee of Greeley (143, 26th place) and amateur Miller Capps of Denver (143, 26th place).
Then at La Quinta, Calif., two more Coloradans rallied on Thursday to move inside the cut line. Jamie Marshall of Lone Tree followed up an 80 with a five-birdie 68 that put him in 19th place at 148. And Eric Hallberg of Parker has gone 79-72 to check in at 36th place at 151. The top 39 finishers and ties advance from La Quinta.
Including Pre-Qualifying, there are four stages in Web.com Q-School. The top 45 finishers and ties from the final stage will have some level of regular status on the 2017 Web.com Tour, depending on how high they finish. Others who complete all 72 holes will have conditional status.
Two more Pre-Qualifying tournaments are scheduled Sept. 7-9.
