Three contestants who played their college golf at Colorado-based colleges are among the leaders after Tuesday’s opening round of the 72-hole First Stage of Web.com Tour Q-school in Maricopa, Ariz.
Former Colorado State University golfer Blake Cannon (pictured) shot an 8-under-par 64 and leads by one after day 1. He made eight birdies in a bogey-free round.
German-born twins who used to play at the University of Colorado aren’t far off the pace. Yannik Paul opened with a 66 and brother Jeremy with a 68. Yannik made an eagle and went bogey-free, and Jeremy carded seven birdies on Tuesday.
The top 21 finishers after Friday’s final round will advance to Stage 2 of Q-school.
Numerous other First Stage tournaments are scheduled for the first two weeks in October. Then there will be five Second Stage tourneys from Oct. 30-Nov. 9. The Final Stage is Dec. 6-9 in Chandler, Ariz.
