Q-School Primer 2023: Prequalifying, Part III: Texas (plus Two Fun Facts about Chris Meyer)

 The first hurdle of PGA Tour Q-School is almost complete, as tomorrow through Friday (27-29 September) is the final site for prequalifying. For a detailed explanation of how Q-school works, please see my post from two weeks ago.

The last prequalifying site of 2023.

Texas: The Bridges Golf Club, Gunter (par 72, 7569yd)

74 players, projected 37 advance to First Stage. The sole Umcee in the field is University of Wisconsin alumnus Chris Meyer, who tees off from the 10th tee at 9:39am.

Two fun facts about Meyer:

1. This isn't Meyer's first go-round at a Q-school this fall. Last week, at DP World Tour Q-School First Stage at Bogogno Golf Resort in Italy, Meyer finished T13 out of 112 starters. The event, which was supposed to be 72 holes as usual, was halved to 36 holes by inclement weather, and Meyer made it to Second Stage on the number of -5!

2. Meyer also has a curious pairing for his first-round tee time. In his group, he'll be playing alongside Tony Romo, former NFL quarterback and current CBS NFL commentator. No, I'm not playing you. Though I wonder if Tony is a bit delusional as to his second act.
