WINTER GARDEN, FLORIDA (AP) — Joseph Bramlett has earned an historic US PGA Tour card by passing through the final stage of Qualifying School, becoming only the second golfer of black heritage on tour. The other is Tiger Woods.
Bramlett shot a 4-under 68 on the Crooked Cat Course at Orange County National today to sneak inside the cut-off for a tour card next year. He finished at 11 under at the gruelling, six-round final stage of qualifying school to tie for 16th. He also passed through two previous stages.
The top 25 earned US PGA Tour cards for 2011. The next 50 received cards on the Nationwide Tour.
News of the Stanford stand-out qualifying spread quickly.
Woods, who also went to Stanford, wrote on Twitter: "Congrats to Joe Bramlett for making it through Q School" and "Can't wait to play with him next season."
Englishman Greg Owen missed out with a total of 426 which put him joint 64th in the final placings. He started with a 76 and he finished with a 72.
