PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Barring a playoff, you have 18 holes left on Sunday to win one of the five PGA Tour cards available at this week’s PGA Tour Q-School.
Through 54 holes played at Sawgrass Country Club and TPC Sawgrass’ Dye’s Valley Course, Ben Corless and Marcelo Lozo are on pace for 11-under 199. But there are 20 golfers within three strokes of the lead, all hoping to secure a ticket to the big leagues next season.
