The second stage of Web.com Tour Q-school will conclude this week, and seven players with strong Colorado connections hope to punch their tickets to next month’s final stage.
Former Golden resident Andrew Svoboda shot a 3-under-par 68 on Tuesday and shares 17th place in Plantation, Fla., where the top 18 finishers and ties after four rounds will advance. The former PGA Tour player made four birdies and one bogey in round 1 and trails leader MJ Daffue of Kingwood, Texas by five strokes.
In McKinney, Texas, where the top 19 finishers and ties will earn spots in the Q-school finals, the top players with Colorado ties are Riley Arp of Fort Collins and former University of Colorado golfer Jeremy Paul, who share 22nd place after opening with 70s.
Former CU golfer Josh Creel, from Cheyenne, earned a spot in the Q-school finals last week in a second stage tournament in Murrieta, Calif. The final stage will be held Dec. 6-9 in Chandler, Ariz., where 2019 Web.com Tour cards will be distributed.
