Two Scots have earned playing rights on the US PGA Canada Tour by gaining pass marks at one of its qualifying schools over the Jack Nicklaus-designed 7,244yd course at Reunion Golf Resort, Florida.
Former Inchmarlo Golf Centre, Banchory player Paul Cormack (pictured) finished third on 289, three shots
behind the tournament winner (Canadian Jordan Krantz), with scores of 73, 79, 70 and 67 for a one-over-par total of 289.
He was bogey-free over the last 29 holes and his final round was bettered only by the winner's closing 66.
"A lot of hard work went in to this just to get to this point, so this feels really good," said Cormack, who credited his coach, Claude Harmon (son of Butch Harmon), for his success.
"I've seen the progress almost instantly and hope it keeps going. I'm looking forward to playing this summer."
The other Scot to qualify was former Scottish boys champion Paul Ferrier from Baberton.
Ferrier finished joint 15th on 295 with rounds of 76, 77, 73 and 69. With only the top 15 earning pass marks, Ferrier then had to come through a play-off which he did at the first hole.
Cormack recently did well at the PGA EuroPro Tour Qualifying School at Frilford Heath but
the Orlando-based former North-east Alliance champion is now likely to concentrate on
the US PGA Canada Tour which, organised by the US PGA Tour, starts its second season at Vancouver in May and will have 12 events with $150,000 prize money at each venue before the end of September.
LEADING TOTALS AT UNION RESORT
Par 288 (4x72)
286 Jordan Krantz (Canada) 74 75 71 66
288 Ryan Brechin (USA) 72 73 71 72
