30.10 Q-School:
Slik er Q-School
Vi er blitt spurt av leserne om hva kvalifiseringen til PGA Tour egentlig går
ut på. Fire nordmenn forsøker seg i år. Det er ikke alltid like lett å ha
oversikten. Kanskje dette hjelper.
I år har det vært arrangert seks førkvalifiseringer på seks ulike baner i
september. Her kom både Torstein Nævestad og Morten Orveland gjennom til den
første runden.
Nå er det tre kvalifiseringer som gjenstår før 25 mann samt delte plasseringer
får kortet på PGA Tour neste år. Q-School er blitt spilt siden 1965.
Blant vinnerne er det Ben Crenshaw som har vunnet flest turneringer på PGA Tour
med 19 seire. Ben Crenshaw og Fuzzy Zoeller har vunnet flest Major-titler med
to hver. Robin Freeman er den eneste som har vunnet Q-School to ganger.
På hjemmesiden til PGA Tour har vi hentet følgende. I stedet for å oversette
dette, kan vi spare litt tid på å gjengi det viktigste i sitats form:
Q-School
Played in three stages at the end of each season, the grueling PGA TOUR
National Qualifying Tournament eventually determines the 25 players (and ties)
who receive their TOUR cards for the following year. Anyone else who advances
to the final stage receives some kind of status on the Nationwide Tour.
The final stage is no picnic, though. Played over 108 holes, it's a
pressure-packed, mind-draining, gut-check of a week that determines your job
for the following year.
Some players, depending on their status on the PGA TOUR or other worldwide
tours, are automatically exempted into the final stage. Others get a free pass
into the second. Some, though, must survive all three stages, and the task is
an extremely difficult one.
12 førsterundearenaer
There are 12 first-stage events, held across the country from Oct. 23-Nov. 3,
with fields of approximately 78 players. A predetermined number of those --
generally the low 19, 20 or 21 and ties -- advance to the second stage of
qualifying, which will be held at six sites from Nov. 14-17.
Disse kan delta:
