Now that Anthony is a pro it seemed appropriate to give him his own page!
He is playing on the Dakota tour, the same place Caleb started. They only play a few tournaments and the payouts aren’t very large.
From what I can gather, he has had a 17th, a 14th and a tie for 4th so far. He is tied for 12th as of today’s event with two rounds to play.
Anthony finishes T14 to advance to the final round tomorrow. In these events the top 22 and ties make the cut after 54 holes. This is his fourth cut out of five, I believe.
He also has been trying to qualify on Mondays for Korn Ferry events, with no luck in four or five try’s.
Anthony finished in a tie for 11th. There is no Monday qualifier for this week on the KFT, because this is the final week of the regular season. Only the top 156 on the season long standings are eligible, unless some of the top 156 decide to pass on this week to prepare for the finals that begin in a couple weeks. His next chance to qualify for PGA or the KFT will be through PGA Q school later this year.
From what I can gather, Anthony has played 6 events on the Dakota Tour, making money on 5 of the 6. That's the good news! The bad news is his total earnings are $12,583. It appears that each event also has an entry fee of around $400 so knock off $2400 for entry fees.
Obviously, with travel and caddie fees there isn't much left over. He's gaining tournament experience and hopefully he can move up a league next season.
Well this past week Anthony was able to score low enough on a Monday qualifier to make into the CRMC Championship on the PGA Americas Tour. Unfortunately, he didn’t make the -5 cut line, instead finishing at even par. Since the regular seasons are wrapped up on Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA Americas Tour, his next step will to get ready for the PGA Q-school. Because of his success in Q-School last year (made it to the 2nd Stage) he will be able to skip the pre-qualifiers to advance to the 1st Stage this year. I believe this will be in October.
Anthony has had some recent success on the Asher mini tour with two 6th place finishes.Next week, he will play in the 1st stage pga Q-school qualifier at the Arizona National Golf Club next week.Typically about the top 15-20 golfers will advance to the second stage tournaments.
Once again, another very disappointing loss, this time at IL ST. This season is a sad story since Avery left. With the great amount of talent eligible to return next season, lets hope we make a top notch hire. I would think that our program would attract some very good candidates. One thing certain in my opinion is that current interim coach Pollite should not be considered! With all of the talent we had this season, we grossly under-performed...are you kidding, 3-8 in the Valley and under 500 overall! Last night, we win set 1, then at set point leading 24-22 in set 2 and end up losing set 2 and the next 2 sets. We now have lost 5 in a row. Bummer!
Through the 1st two rounds of the 1st stage PGA Q-school qualifier, Anthony is in a tie for 1st place. Top 17 and ties will advance to the 2nd stage PGA Q-school qualifier.
Lets go, Anthony!
3rd round in the books, Anthony in first place by himself, now at 17 under par with a 3 stroke lead. A win guarantees him a spot on the PGA Americas Tour, plus advancing to the second stage PGA Q-school qualifier.
Where is he playing?
