UK's Holmes Qualifies fo Tour

Quote:Holmes became the first player in 22 years to leave college and win the PGA Tour qualifying tournament, closing with a 3-under 69 to win by three shots over Alex Cejka of Germany. It was a magnificent week at Orange County National for Holmes, the former Kentucky star who helped the United States win the Walker Cup this summer. He was the only player to shoot in the 60s all six rounds.

That's GREAT! Congratulations to him. That is no fluke you must go through many rounds against really stiff competition to get that far.

If it puts it in perspective for you, the Big Ten Champ from last year didn't even make it to the final tournament.
