Australian Senior Leads Champions Tour Q-School Grads
It makes sense that a senior would win the Champions Tour Q-School tournament. But we’re not talking any senior. We’re talking Peter Senior. The three-time Order of Merit winner on the PGA Tour of Australasia was the winner of the senior circuit’s Q-School finale on Friday.
Senior won 19 times on the Australasian tour, the last victory coming in 2003; plus four wins on the European Tour and three on the Japan Tour.
The Champions Tour has been called the hardest tour in the world to get onto, and it awards tour cards only to the Top 5 finishers at Q-School. Joining Senior in earning their 2010 Champions Tour cards are longtime Japan Tour star Joe Ozaki; former PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour player Ronnie Black; former Nationwide Tour player Steve Haskins (son of legendary college basketball coach Don Haskins); and Jim Roy. Roy won a playoff over Kirk Hanefeld and Bruce Vaughan to claim the final fully exempt tour card.
The golfers finishing sixth through 12th earned conditional status for 2010, and the remaining players in the Top 30 are eligible to compete in open qualifiers (a k a Monday qualifiers) on a week to week basis next year. For the identities of those players, view the full results.
