Bobby MacWhinnie, Charlotte, NC, whose family lives in Upper
St. Clair, rallied from a 76-74 start to gain full status on
the Nationwide Tour in the PGA Tour Final Qualifying Rounds
at Bear Lakes CC, West Palm Beach, Florida, December 2-7.
His scores of 76-74-71-70-70-69--430 tied for 72nd.
MacWhinnie also fired 68 in the final round of the PGA
Tour's second stage to make it to the finals right on the
number. The top 25 and ties received 2010 PGA Tour cards, so
MacWhinnie's four final rounds of 280 enabled him to
secure the Nationwide Tour spot.
Steve Wheatcroft, from Washington, PA, was t-48, with
74-79-73-73-72-68--428. He has secured his 2010 PGA Tour
card by finishing 20th on the 2009 Nationwide Tour's money
list.
Jon Mills, Indiana, PA, who had already gained his 2010
Nationwide Tour status, shot 78-71-71-72-71-71--438, tied
for 98th.
