On Friday, A.J. Morris of Aspen added his name to the list by landing conditional status for 2018 by finishing 27th out of 132 players in a Q-school event in Lakeland, Fla.

Morris (pictured), who made three cuts in 10 PGA Tour Canada events last year, carded scores of 69-69-71-70 for a 9-under-par 279 total.

American Brad Miller earned medalist honors on Friday, finishing at 267.

The top 16 finishers — no ties — gained at least some exempt status for 2018, while those in the 17th through 40th positions received conditional status. 

In previous PGA Tour Canada Q-school events this year, Coloradan Michael Schoolcraft earned some exempt status, while brother Beau Schoolcraft, fellow former University of Colorado golfer Jeremy Paul and former Colorado State University golfer Blake Cannon landed conditional spots.

The 2018 PGA Tour Canada season will begin on May 31.
 

Jim Knous of Littleton and Tom Whitney of Fort Collins, both of whom competed in a PGA Tour event last weekend, fell short of returning to the Final Stage of Web.com Q-school.

Despite failing to advance out of Second Stage tournaments, Knous and Whitney still will have some status on the 2018 Web circuit by virtue of finishing between 76-100 on the 2017 money list, but that’s relatively low on the tournament eligibility categories.

Knous had been inside the top 20 and ties at a Second Stage tournament in Plantation, Fla. — which was what was needed to advance to the Final Stage — after each of the first three rounds. But a 1-over-par 72 on Friday dropped him to 28th place at 5-under-par 279, which was two shy of what was necessary to advance. Knous played his final eight holes in 3 over par.

Also in 28th place in Plantation was A.J. Morris of Aspen, who shot 67-69-69 the last three rounds but was done in by a first-round 74.

Meanwhile, Whitney played in Stage 2 in McKinney, Texas, where the top 20 and ties landed spots in the Final Stage. The former Air Force Academy golfer gave himself a chance to advance with a third-round 65, but a 2-over-par 74 on Friday dropped him to a 47th-place finish at 1-over-par 289.

Last week, Wyndham Clark of Highlands Ranch punched his ticket to the Final Stage by winning a Second Stage tournament in Murrieta, Calif.

The Final Stage of Web qualifying is scheduled for Dec. 7-10 in Chandler, Ariz. There, all the finishers will be guaranteed some Web.com Tour status in 2018, but the top 45 and ties there will earn exempt status of varying degrees, while the rest will have conditional status.

Here are the scores for all the Coloradans who competed this week:

McKinney, Texas (Top 20 Finishers and Ties Advance to Final Stage)
FAILED TO ADVANCE TO FINAL STAGE
47. Tom Whitney, Fort Collins 74-76-65-74–289

Plantation, Fla. (Top 20 Finishers and Ties Advance to Final Stage)
FAILED TO ADVANCE TO FINAL STAGE
28. Jim Knous, Littleton 67-70-70-72–279
28. A.J. Morris, Aspen 74-67-69-69–279
55. Former CU golfer Justin Bardgett 71-74-73-68–286
 

With the top 20 finishers and ties after Friday’s last round advancing to the Final Stage, Knous shares 19th place through Thursday’s third round of a Second Stage tournament in Plantation, Fla.

Fresh off making a cut in a PGA Tour event for the first time, Knous stands at 6-under-par 207 through 54 holes after a 1-under 70 on Thursday.

The former Colorado School of Mines golfer, who finished 94th on the season-long Web.com Tour money list in 2017, had a wild back nine on Thursday in which he didn’t make a par. After going birdie-bogey-double bogey-bogey on holes 10-13, Knous birdied his last five to shoot the 70. He trails co-leaders Rick Cochran of Paducah, Ky., and Steven Ihm of Peosta, Iowa, by six strokes.

A.J. Morris of Aspen also is in the running to advance to the Final Stage. After following up a first-round 74 with scores of 67-69 he shares 32nd place at 3-under-par 210.

At another Second Stage tournament in McKinney, Texas, Tom Whitney of Fort Collins shot himself back into the running for a Final Stage position with a bogey-free 7-under-par 65 on Thursday. Following rounds of 74-76 on Tuesday and Wednesday, the former Air Force Academy golfer stands in 31st place at 1-under 215. The top 20 finishers and ties on Friday will advance to the Final Stage, and Whitney is now four strokes out of the 20th spot.

The Final Stage of Web qualifying is scheduled for Dec. 7-10 in Chandler, Ariz. There, all the finishers will be guaranteed some Web.com Tour status in 2018, but the top 45 and ties there will earn exempt status of varying degrees, while the rest will have conditional status.

19. Jim Knous, Littleton 67-70-70–207
32. A.J. Morris, Aspen 74-67-69–210
64. Former CU golfer Justin Bardgett 71-74-73–218
 

The former Colorado School of Mines golfer shot a 1-under-par 70 on Wednesday in a Second Stage tournament in Plantation, Fla., leaving him tied for 13th place with two rounds remaining.

Knous (left) birdied three straight holes — his seventh through ninth of the day — to go along with two bogeys on Wednesday. He trails leader Steve Ihm of Peosta, Iowa by three strokes.

Knous was a regular on the Web.com Tour in 2017 and placed 94th on the season-long money list.

The top 20 finishers and ties after Friday’s fourth round advance to the Final Stage of Web qualifying, set for Dec. 7-10 in Chandler, Ariz. In Arizona, all the finishers will be guaranteed some Web.com Tour status in 2018, but the top 45 and ties there will earn exempt status of varying degrees, while the rest will have conditional status.

In Arizona, all the finishers will be guaranteed some Web.com Tour status in 2018, but the top 45 and ties there will earn exempt status of varying degrees, while the rest will have conditional status. And it’s not unusual for some players with conditional status to get very few starts on the Web.com Tour.

Former Rams Riley Arp of Fort Collins and Jimmy Makloski of Pueblo, along with A.J. Morris of Aspen advanced to Stage 2 from different First Stage sites.

Riley (pictured) qualified on the number at a First Stage tournament in St. George Utah, where the top 24 finishers and ties advanced. Arp bogeyed his final hole and shot an even-par 70 on Friday, leaving him tied for 22nd place at 8-under 272.

Makloski made it with a stroke to spare in Dayton, Nev., where the top 22 finishers and ties will move on. The former CoBank Colorado Open low amateur closed with a 1-under-par 71 to post a 5-under 283 total, good for a share of 16th place.

And Morris also finished 16th, but in West Palm Beach, Fla., where 22 and ties advanced. Morris carded a 1-over-par 73 on Friday, leaving him at 3-under 285 overall.

(Updated Oct. 14) Meanwhile, after being in 20th place going into Saturday’s final round at a First Stage tournament in Pine Mountain, Ga., James Love of Denver failed to advance. With the top 22 finishers and ties earning spots into Stage 2, Love finished 33rd at 7-under-par 281, which left him four strokes shy of moving on. Despite a final-round 66, Cole Nygren of Longmont tied for 38th at 282.

Four players with strong Colorado connections punched their tickets to the Second Stage last week: Wyndham Clark, former University of Colorado golfers Derek Tolan and Justin Bardgett, and Parker Edens of Greeley.
