I was tempted to entitle a "Prayers Please" thread but playing it straight, Andy Pope is currently playing at Second Stage of PGA Qualifying School in Plantation FLA.

The Top 20 & ties move to Final Stage.

After 3 rounds Andy stands T 20 with score of (-7) after a fine 67 today. Final round tomorrow so he is not likely to sleep too well tonight.

Although the final stage will be even more grueling, how great if two XU alum find their separate ways to the Tour in 2012.

Congrats to Andy! This means we will see him some on the Nationwide Tour if nothing else next year, right? He'll get some status on the Nationwide Tour just from making the final stage, I think. I recall Kokrak really having a poor performance at the final stage but still getting his Nationwide Tour status (that led to his Tour card, obviously) just from getting that far.

Andy needs to finish in the top 75 to be pretty much fully exempt for the nationwide next year. Obviously if he is in the top 25, he'll have some status on the PGA tour

Q sxhool started today; Pope shot 1 under for T89; 5 more rounds but will need to shoot at least 20 under to secure PGA status

That's a helluva lot better start than Jason got last year! So hopefully he has the nerves taken care of and can crack the top 75 at least.

Andy Pope (2006) made it to the Final Stage of Q-School. He is playing the 2nd round (of 6) and is currently T-68. Top-25 earn their PGA tour cards for next year. A lot of noteworthy names in the field including Lee Janzen, David Duval, and Boo Weekley.

Top 75 for Nationwide Tour, I believe. That would be awfully good as well.

Ty Tryon- still Try-in.

The miracle of a few years ago and now less than a journeyman. Shot 78 in the first round, although he's 4 under today.

Golf is witchcraft- and you never know what spell it may cast.

Pope's moved up to T-48.

Though second nine today. Finished +3 today, tied for 108th. Go get 'em tomorrow!!!

He stands +2 for 36 holes. His incoming 9 included an eagle, one birdie, 2 double bogies as the extreme winds made scoring very tough. He is probably 6 shots back of Top 25 right now so even though he gave ground today he is not out of it by any means with 4 more rounds to play.

Andy finished T120 at +6; it took -9 to qualify for PGA card.

Nice 68 to finish today. I would note that Kokrak shot +6 in the 2010 final stage of Q-school, and one year later look where he sits. Just saying.
