Roesch and Kendall quiet at Q-School

After a grueling 108 holes of golf in six days, David Roesch and Skip Kendall failed to finish in the top-25 in the final stage of the PGA Tour’s qualifying tournament, thus dashing their hopes of earning 2008 PGA Tour cards.

Kendall, a native of Fox Point, tied for 47^th with rounds of 72-67-68-70-72-73 for a 10-under 422; the top-25 and ties in Q-School earn Tour cards. Kendall started out strong on the Nationwide Tour in 2007 and looked like he would earn a PGA Tour card by finishing in the top-25 on the tour’s money list, but he was ousted in the last tournament of the season and ended up 26^th. But since he finished in the top-40, he was granted exemption into the final round of Q-School.

Roesch, a Germantown resident who played on the Nationwide Tour in past years but not in 2007, shot rounds of 73-67-72-72-72-77 for a 1-over 433 at Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge (the Crooked Cat course) in Winter Garden, Fla. He tied for 133^rd with a number of other players.

Kendall and Roesch were the only local players to compete in the final stage of Q-School. Any player who makes it to the final stage is given some kind of status on the Nationwide Tour, but that status isn’t specified.

Leading the way at Q-School was Frank Lickliter II, who finished at 29-under 403.
