Former University of Colorado golfer Ethan Freeman lost a little ground on Thursday, but the Denver resident can advance to the Second Stage of Web.com Q-school with a good round on Friday.
Through three rounds of a First Stage tournament, Freeman stands in 28th place in Maricopa, Ariz., where the top 23 finishers and ties after Friday’s final round will earn spots into the Second Stage of Q-school.
Freeman shot an even-par 72 on Thursday — making two birdies and two bogeys on the day — to end up at 6-under 210. That’s two shots back of the players who were tied for 23rd place through 54 holes.
Mike Schoolcraft of Denver sits at 215, tied for 47th place.
Eleven more First Stage tournaments are scheduled for early October.
The Second Stage of Web Q-school will be held at five sites between Oct. 31-Nov. 7, and the Final Stage Dec. 7-10 in Chandler, Ariz.
Here are the scores for all the players with strong Colorado connections who are competing this week in the 72-hole tournament:
