The Colorado contingent had a high success rate in this week’s Web.com Tour Q-school First-Stage tournament in Nebraska City.
Four of the eight players with strong Colorado ties who were competing in the Cornhusker State punched their tickets to the Second Stage of the three-stage qualifying process.
Those who advanced on Friday in Nebraska City by finishing in the top 24 and ties out of a field of 77 were Wyndham Clark (second place), former University of Colorado golfers Justin Bardgett (third) and Derek Tolan (20th), and Parker Edens of Greeley (23rd).
Clark, who won the Pac-12 Conference title in Boulder in April and then played in five PGA Tour events after going pro, finished with a 15-under-par 269 total. Only amateur Nick Voke of Ames, Iowa (268) was better.
Bardgett checked in at 271, while two-time CoBank Colorado Open champion Tolan (pictured) posted a 281 total. Edens, a former Colorado State University golfer, advanced on the number at 282.
Meanwhile, former CU golfer Jeremy Paul missed by one stroke in the San Diego First Stage tournament by closing with a 73 to tie for 26th place.
Seven more First Stage tournaments are scheduled for next week.
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.
