The four Coloradans who competed in a Web.com First Stage tournament this week in Maricopa, Ariz., all fell short of advancing in the Q-school process.
The top 23 finishers and ties punched their tickets to the Second Stage, and the closest any Coloradan came to making the grade was Mike Schoolcraft of Denver, who closed with a 73 to post an even-par 288 total, good for 50th place. Schoolcraft’s final round featured an eagle on the 16th hole at Southern Dunes.
Former University of Colorado golfer Ethan Freeman was 6 under par through three rounds, but struggled to a 10-over-par 82 in Friday’s final round and finished 59th at 4-over 292. His final round included a quadruple bogey and a triple bogey.
The players with 72-hole scores of 279 or better advanced to the Second Stage.
Eleven more First Stage tournaments are scheduled for the first two weeks of October.
The Second Stage of Web Q-school will be held at five sites between Oct. 31-Nov. 7, and the Final Stage Dec. 7-10 in Chandler, Ariz.
