Six Coloradans took their first step forward Friday in the 2016 Web.com Q-school process by advancing from Pre-Qualifying to the First Stage.
Beau Schoolcraft of Denver, Dustin Mills of Broomfield, David Oraee of Greeley and amateur Miller Capps of Denver advanced through the Pre-Qualifier in Lincoln, Neb., where the top 38 finishers and ties moved on. Schoolcraft placed 12th, Mills 19th, and Oraee and Capps 25th.
And Jamie Marshall of Lone Tree and Eric Hallberg of Parker made the First Stage by tying for 23rd in La Quinta, Calif., where the top 39 and ties punched their First Stage tickets.
Including Pre-Qualifying, there are four stages in Web.com Q-School. The top 45 finishers and ties from the final stage will have some level of regular status on the 2017 Web.com Tour, depending on how high they finish. Others who complete all 72 holes will have conditional status.
Two more Pre-Qualifying tournaments are scheduled Sept. 7-9. First Stage tournaments begin either Sept. 27, Oct. 4 or Oct. 11.
