Tadd Fujikawa shot 1-over-par 68-71-74-76=289 in the first stage of Q School at St. John's G&CC in St. Augustine, Florida, failing to advance to the second stage by six strokes.
Only three of the 68 golfers that played 72 holes had higher final rounds, and they finished outside the top-60. Fujikawa placed T-44 and will likely resume his globetrotting on sponsor exemptions in 2010. He's played in nine events worldwide this year. Several of the 22 that advanced from this site, where Russell Knox medaled (15-under 273) are notable, including former First-Team All-Americans Chris Kirk (T-2) and Billy Horschel (T-4); former PGA Tour members David Lutterus (T-6) and Brent Schwarzrock (T-18); and Jay Haas, Jr. (T-6). Joining Fujikawa as a notable that failed to advance was one-time PGA Tour member and Steve Stricker's brother-in-law, Mario Tiziani (T-26). |
