Local PGA Tour Players Need to Rally
Duval’s 2nd at U.S. Open is group’s only top-10 finish in 2009
by Gary Baines - July 1, 2009
One veteran player with strong Colorado ties already has lost his PGA Tour card this year, and another may do likewise later this summer. If not for David Duval (pictured) finishing second in the recent U.S. Open, the first half of 2009 would be largely forgettable for the local Tour contingent, which has combined for one top-10 finish in six months.
Seven players under 50 years old who Colorado golf fans like to call their own entered the year with at least partially-exempt status on the top tour in the world. But unless things pick up dramatically in the second half of 2009, or several Coloradans fare well in PGA Tour qualifying, the list of local players for next year could be much smaller.
Here’s a rundown of how each local player has fared in the first six months of 2009, and what the outlook is for the rest of the year:

The 53-year-old from Parker, who plays out of Colorado Golf Club, claimed his fourth CGA title on Friday, winning two of the last three holes to score a 1-up victory over Longmont’s Guy Mertz in the finals of the Senior Match Play Championship at The Ranch Country Club.
