Rainy qualifier tests patience on tough golf course
Chris Wollman shot 74 after a 40 on the front nine, while Aaron Bickle and Chris Chopra posted 78s. A 106 surfaced on the board as rain soaked players endured a long day. Dennis Course praised patience as he battled through 16 holes, and Chris Miller noted greens were playable despite the delay. Red Tail pro Bryan Huff warned the course would favor longer rounds, with Kevin Jones and staff mowing greens at 4 a.m. to shed water. Rorabaugh warned the field could shrink by 25 percent as rain forced many to miss the qualifier, yet the nine who qualify will face dry weather payoff.
