Carballo Has A 3 Hole Nightmare

Hello. How would you like to be Miguel Angel Carballo today?
You're -17 after 105 holes. You have 3 holes to play. One of them is a par 5. No problem to finish even par, and be 3 inside the number, right?
Wrong! 2 bogies and a double later, and you're sitting at -13, one shot too many.
Needless to say, Carballo wasn't the only one to play himself out of it. And there were others who came up one short. It's cruel in some ways that -13 isn't good enough to get your card, or that winning $500,000 wasn't enough last year to keep it. That just shows how tough it is to compete in pro golf.
Can these guys compete against the world's best? Well it was reported that at least one member of each Q-School class since '81 has won a tournament the following year. That's quite a statement. And if I had to pick one now, it would be Frank Lickliter, who blew away the field.
Good luck to all 26 players who got their PGA cards, and the rest of the field who will be competing on the Nationwide Tour.

Regards,
Steve
