Pittsburgh native Brendon Todd was the only player to record
all six scores under par in the finals of the PGA Tour
Qualifying School at La Quinta, CA. He shot
71-68--69-71-68-68--415, to win the school by one shot. The
victory was good for $50,000.
Todd played Rolling Hills CC, McMurray, as a junior
golfer. His family then moved to Charlotte, NC, when he was
in junior high. His game continued to develop, and he was a
collegiate standout at the University of Georgia. Todd was a
key player on Georgia's 2005 NCAA Division 1 championship
team. His professional career has been difficult at times as
he missed all thirteen cuts in Nationwide Tour events in
2010, but he played considerably better this year.Todd's
total winnings on the Nationwide Tour are just over
$350,000.
Sam Saunders, Arnold Palmer's grandson, totaled 435 for six
rounds, eleven strokes short of securing a PGA Tour card. He
will have privileges on the Nationwide Tour in 2012.
