Two of the last four CGA Amateur champions are leading the way for the Colorado contingent competing in a Web.com Tour Q-school Pre-Qualifying tournament in Lincoln, Neb.
With the top 39 finishers after Friday’s third round advancing to the “First Stage” of Q-school, former University of Denver golfer Chris Korte (left) of Littleton stands in fourth place, while Glenn Workman of Pueblo West is 11th. Korte won the 2015 CGA Amateur and the 2017 CGA Match Play, while Workman won last year’s CGA Am title.
Korte, in his pro debut, backed up his first-round 68 with a 2-under-par 69 on Thursday, giving him a 5-under 137 total. He trails leader Stephen Stallings of Louisville, Ky., by five. Korte made four birdies and two bogeys on Thursday.
Workman fired a 68 in round 2, making four birdies and a bogey, and checked in at 140.
Other locals in the top 39 through two days are Tom Gempel of Lone Tree (21st place at 144) and fellow former University of Colorado golfer Kevin Kring (33rd at 146).
