Lots of familar names

[WyGuy]

Congrats to all those guys!

[TourPro]

Thanks for the list. It's nice to see some of the older guys who have been gringing away over the years get back to the big tour. Congrats to the young guys too. I can't imagine how Craig Kanada feels jumping into the top 22 with that win!

howabout craig kanada holing out down the stretch, quite clutch! kindof ironic how i think the roar from the 18th hole hole out caused kuchar to 3 jack, forcing kuchar out of the lead and kanada solidifying his status next year.

[TourPro]

Fortunately it didn't cost Kuchar his card. Can you imagine being on the bubble and having that happen? Would take a lot of therapy to get over that!

[aviator]

Ken Duke and Bryce Molder, gotta love the Arkansas boys making to the PGA! I was pulling for Brenden Pappas too, he's a super nice guy, not to mention he kills the ball.

best of luck to thesmallrus Kevin Stadler!!!!

[Muirwolf]

I think a special note needs to go out to Canadian Jim Rutledge, finally at age 47 after 27 years as a pro, and 13 failed attempts at q-school he is gonna be on the tour :(

You arnt kidding huh. How clutch was Craig Kanada. 17 and 18 with 2 chip in's. WOW. I was suprised to see the wedge on the fringe on 18. I was thinking from Texas to use the putter.

 

Great preasure play coming down the stretch.

i followed bryce molder at the Nationwide event in PA this summer, great to see him move up!

 

and congrats to fellow canuck Jim Rutlegde, the second older PGA rookie ever! (after allen doyle)

[Double Rods]

My buddy Alan was Craig Kanada's caddy this week. I talked to Alan tonight and said that it was the most exciting thing he'd ever been around.

 

Congrats to Craig.

[derrickmade]

how about Jim Ruthlage... the 49year old Canadian... Best of luch man

[rblmp32]

I'm glad to see that Tripp Isenhour got his card back, he's a NC boy. :( Kuchar too, that guy has way too much talent to not be out with the big boys.

Hopefully he'll find a new driver in time for the season opener in January :(

 

(in case you missed it, he snapped his after a three-jack and a duck-hook into a hazard)

quick correction: he's 47 but still cool nonetheless!

[zigcdn]

Congrats to Jim Rutledge

 

The power of NEVER giving up on your dream. All of Canada will be watching and pulling for him.

[kratt11]

Look for young Michael Putnam to have a good year next year!

[Huntingchris0000]

Go AR boys Molder and Duke.

Congrats to all

[guri]

Andrew Buckle is the name to watch out for next year,great talent,saw him play on the asian tour.

:(

[smackygolf]

Stads, Snedeker and Sim are the stars on that list....

[mr_duffer]

Brandt's a local boy. Saw him beating balls earlier this year out at Springhouse. Wish him well next year.

[bundyloco]

Congrats to all those guys! I had a chance to follow Boo Weekley for a round up here at the Oregon Classic. What an unbelievable ball striking talent! and a hell of a nice guy. Even though he is from the opposite side of the country, I will definitely be rooting for him next year. Oh yah, and the local boy Jeff Quinney...he has a lot of support from his home state.
