Reflecting on his experience of US PGA Tour Q-School last year, James Nitties had a thoughtful insight. "The crowds may be small there, but pros pay more attention to Q-School results than any other tournament."
There's no other pressure in golf quite like it, Q-School pressure. So it is only proper to give recognition to the resilience that Bronson La'Cassie is displaying through the first two rounds at Coolum.
The 26-year-old Queenslander missed his Tour card by a single shot, then spent 40 hours trying to get from the Q-School site in Florida back to the Sunshine Coast. An hour out from Los Angeles, his flight had to turn back because of mechanical problems with the aircraft. He arrived in Coolum at midnight, only eight hours before he was due to tee off in the PGA.
La'Cassie is currently six-under through 12 holes of the second round. By the time the jet-lag wears off, he may find himself with the tournament lead.
