WM Phoenix Open Monday qualifier features 18 golfers with a combined 32 PGA Tour wins

Only the top three finishers Monday will earn a spot in the field at next week’s PGA Tour stop.

There are currently 104 golfers in the Monday qualifier for the 2024 WM Phoenix Open. This after more than 600 golfers tried to navigate one of the eight pre-qualifiers this past week.

Only the top three finishers Monday will earn a spot in the field at next week’s PGA Tour stop at TPC Scottsdale.

It’s probably too late to get anyone to do a live stream but you’d have golf fans interested in watching because once again, the field for this is loaded, maybe even Korn Ferry Tour-level good.

There are 18 golfers who have earned 32 PGA Tour wins combined playing Monday:

  • Billy Mayfair, 5
  • Ryan Palmer, 4
  • J.J. Henry, 3
  • Sangmoon Bae, 2
  • James Hahn, 2
  • Jonathan Kaye, 2
  • Tom Pernice, 2
  • DJ Trahan, 2
  • Eric Axley, 1
  • Charlie Beljan, 1
  • Wesley Bryan, 1
  • Austin Cook, 1
  • Robert Garrigus, 1
  • Patton Kizzire, 1
  • Ted Purdy, 1
  • Martin Trainer, 1
  • Kevin Tway, 1
  • Bo Van Pelt, 1

Kaye is a past tournament champion. Other notables in the field include: Ricky Barnes, MJ Daffue, Harry Higgs, Morgan Hoffman and Hayden Springer.

The WM Phoenix Open is Feb. 8-11 at TPC Scottsdale.

Held for years at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, this year’s Monday qualifier will be contested at Pinnacle Peak Country Club in Scottsdale.

Monday qualifier Katherine Muzi top 10s in first LPGA start in Texas

“For me, it was just like an eye-opener,” said Muzi.

Katherine Muzi turned pro last June and shot 69 in a Monday qualifier one week ago to earn a spot in her first LPGA event. What followed was a shock to mostly everyone, including Muzi, who called making the cut at the Ascendant LPGA a “holy cow” moment.

Muzi, however, didn’t just make the cut. She shot 73-69-69-68 to finish in a share of seventh and earn $45,658.

“For me, it was just like an eye-opener,” said Muzi, “like, I can play at this level. Like it was just kind of crazy.”

After graduating from USC with a degree in business administration, Muzi traveled east to another USC – South Carolina – where she worked on a graduate degree and finished up her final year of eligibility. Over the summer, she played in the first stage of LPGA Q-School but missed the cut.

Earlier this year, Muzi became one of the first players to benefit from the new Annika Development Program at Old Barnwell in Aiken, South Carolina. To be eligible, players must be a recent graduate of a four-year college program in South Carolina, North Carolina or Georgia or a resident of one of those states who recently graduated from a four-year college program.

Muzi was joined by Krista Junkkari, Lauren Walsh and Lois Kaye Ko as first-year recipients of the program.

Benefits Muzi and others received from Annika Sorenstam’s foundation include access to Old Barnwell’s golf amenities for three years, a $10,000 stipend to help cover tournament fees and travel as well as free housing for the first year in Aiken.

“It’s just been a huge deal,” said Muzi of the Annika program’s impact. “Just by me going to South Carolina, it really opened the door.”

Last year the LPGA changed its regulations to allow a non-member who finishes in the top 10 in designated events to tee it up the next week. Unfortunately for Muzi, her top-10 in Texas won’t get her into this week’s event in China because it’s a limited-field event. Nor will it get her into the next domestic stop on the schedule – The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican – because that Florida field is filled using the CME points list.

Muzi has signed up for the Monday-qualifier at Pelican next month, but there’s also a possibility that she will receive a sponsor exemption.

“The whole thing has been surreal,” said Muzi, who felt a little out of place at the Old America Golf Club with her carry bag. “Especially this being my first ever LPGA event. Like ever. And then I just a happen to be a pro just playing in it. It’s crazy.”

Monday qualifier and 19-year-old LPGA rookie Chanettee Wannasaen wins 2023 Portland Classic

Wannasaen had missed her last nine cuts entering this week in Portland.

Women’s golf is loaded with young, rising talent as yet another teenager has won on the LPGA in 2023.

Five players were within four shots of the lead as the final group made the turn to the back nine on Sunday at the 2023 Portland Classic, but none of them caught Chanettee Wannasaen.

The 19-year-old rookie was a Monday qualifier for this week’s event at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Oregon but left with the trophy after a memorable week in the Pacific Northwest. Wannasaen shot her season-low round of 66 on Friday and went one better with a Saturday 65 before a blistering bogey-free 9-under 63 on Sunday sealed the deal at 26 under for her first LPGA win, the 10th player to accomplish the feat this season.

A native of Chiang Mai, Thailand, Wannasaen last won in June of 2022 at the Trust Golf Links Series – Ramside Hall on the Ladies European Tour Access Series after a pair of wins earlier in the year on the Thai LPGA Tour at the Singha Pattaya Ladies Open and Thai LPGA Championship. She made the cut in her first two LPGA starts in February and March of this year at the LPGA Drive On Championship (T-57) and Honda LPGA Thailand (T-51), respectively, but hadn’t made a cut in nine starts since.

“I miss cut about like nine events in LPGA tournament this year,” said Wannasaen on Saturday. “That get me more confident.”

That confidence showed on Sunday as the teenager played the final round with ease and handled the pressure with the confidence of a multi-major champion. After a par-par start, Wannasaen caught fire with a five-hole stretch of birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie on Nos. 3-7 to take a three-shot lead with nine holes to play. Wannasaen added three more birdies on the back at Nos. 13, 14 and 17 to cruise to a four-shot win.

Wannasaen is just the third player to Monday qualify and then win the same week on the LPGA, joining Laurel Kean at the 2000 State Farm LPGA Classic and Brooke Henderson, who also Monday qualified for the Portland Classic at Columbia Edgewater Country Club and went on to win the event in 2015. Yealimi Noh almost joined Kean, Noh and now Wannasaen at the 2019 Portland Classic, but the then-18-year-old blew a three-shot lead on Sunday as Hannah Green went on to win by a single shot.

Ranked No. 367 in the world, Wannasaen is the third-lowest ranked player to win on the LPGA. The previous two, Rose Zhang (482) and Alexa Pano (402), happened earlier this summer.

The Bryan brothers, Wesley and George, battle in Wyndham Championship Monday qualifier

What a day for the Bryan family.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

Monday was an interesting day for the Bryan family.

The youngest, Wesley, is a PGA Tour winner — 2017 RBC Heritage — and has made 14 starts this season. His brother, George, on the other hand, plays most of his golf on YouTube these days.

That isn’t to say he isn’t a stick, because he absolutely is. He carries a +6 handicap.

And after shooting a bogey-free 4-under 67 at a pre-qualifying event at Bermuda Run Country Club in Bermuda Run, North Carolina, on July 27th, George earned himself a spot in the Wyndham Championship Monday qualifier.

Both Bryan brothers shot 5 under at Bermuda Run Monday, putting themselves in a six-for-three playoff.

Unfortunately, Wesley made it out of the playoff and into the Wyndham field while George did not.

“Well, one of us had to win and one of us had to lose. Well, I guess theoretically, both could have won, both could have lost, six-for-three playoff. Unfortunately, George did not make it through, fortunately, I did make it through. Sorry, George, still love you, but I’m always going to try to beat you until the day I die. In everything,” Wesley said on his Instagram Monday.

Although this one didn’t fall George’s way, he recently announced he signed up for PGA Tour Q-School. Through the program, he has a chance to earn a Tour card.

In four previous appearances at the Wyndham, Wesley has missed three cuts.

Caddie who Monday Q’d into 3M Open shares special moment with boss on final hole

“It was a dream.”

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

BLAINE, Minn. — Erik van Rooyen’s eyes welted with tears as he stood next to his caddie in the interview area.

Alex Gaugert was holding his daughter in his left arm while trying to find words to describe what his past few days had been like. Gaugert’s family stood behind a handful of reporters watching as he detailed his week.

Gaugert, who Monday qualified into the 3M Open, is van Rooyen’s full-time caddie. This week, however, he played alongside his boss for the first two rounds at TPC Twin Cities.

“It was a dream,” Gaugert said. “It happened fast. Monday qualifiers, you know, never done one and to get through was pretty cool. Then the Tour allowed us to play together. That was really memorable and something we’ll never forget.

“I know after I qualified there was definitely a few tears shed and it was really, really cool. And all the support, all the caddies and even the players, it was nice to get that feeling where everybody’s kind of trying to — everyone’s lifting you up and telling you ‘good job.’ It was cool to kind of have the light shine on you for a week, so it’s fun.”

Added van Rooyen: “I was talking to a few people earlier in the week, when we were playing college together, this was what we were all talking about. Oh, man, we’re gonna play the PGA Tour together, we’re gonna room together, play practice rounds together. We get to share that a little bit with him on the bag, but with him playing a tournament, it was really, really cool.”

The duo were teammates at Minnesota from 2010-13. Gaugert became van Rooyen’s full-time caddie in 2019.

Gaugert finished at 6 over for the week, following an opening 6-over 77 with an even-par performance on Friday. Meanwhile, van Rooyen shot 3-under 68 on Friday and sits at 3 under for the week, right on the projected cut line as the afternoon wave gets underway.

On their final hole Friday, the duo embraced, celebrating an incredible week.

“You don’t get these special moments every single week,” Gaugert said. “This game’s hard and it was — it’s cool to share that with my best friend, something I’ll never forget.”

The moment was also special for van Rooyen, as it makes him appreciate playing on the PGA Tour even more. As far as Gaugert’s job security down the road?

“Oh, yeah, his job’s safe,” van Rooyen said. “Trust me, we’ve been through some highs and we’ve been through some lows together. Nothing can shake us, so we’re all good.”

This 15-year-old Monday qualifier made the cut in her first LPGA start

“I mean, it’s my first tournament, it’s the best experience, I’m just excited to be here.”

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

On Monday, Mia Hammond was playing in a Monday qualifier, trying to get into her first LPGA event. By day’s end, she won that Monday qualifier and has plans for Thursday and Friday.

Come Friday afternoon, her weekend was booked: playing in the 2023 Dana Open.

Hammond shot consecutive rounds of 68 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio, to make the cut in her first LPGA start. The 15-year-old, who is not in the field at next week’s U.S. Girls’ Junior in Colorado Springs, Colorado, will play the weekend in a professional event instead.

“It’s so amazing, it’s honestly a dream come true,” Hammond said. “I’ve put in a lot of work over the winter and beginning of the season this year, and it’s so great to see it finally pay off. I had a few rough tournaments here and there so just so relieving.”

Not only will she make the cut, she walked off the course inside the top 20 on the leaderboard.

A reminder: Hammond is 15, Monday qualified and is making her first professional start. Not bad.

“I would say for now I’m going to set a goal as top 20,” she said of her goals this weekend. “If it happens to be better than that, then that’s great. I’m just here for the experience more than anything else. Playing on the LPGA Tour is a dream of mine in the future. So just getting a feel for what it’s actually like to be out here is more important to me.”

Hammond has hit 28-of-36 greens and also missed only six of the 28 fairways. She’s averaging 265 yards off the tee.

Now, it’s time to prepare for the weekend.

“I’m just going to take it all in,” Hammond said. “Spend time with the people that are here, make the best of it. I mean, it’s my first tournament, it’s the best experience, I’m just excited to be here.”

This caddie traded in his bib for a PGA Tour player gig at John Deere Classic

The caddie held his own on Thursday with a 1-over 72 and could make the cut with a big second round.

The PGA Tour website includes biographical information on every player. Tiger Woods’ personal profile runs 157 words, not counting his many wins and awards.

Then you click on “Reid Martin.”

Age: 31; Birthday: July 14, 1991; Plays from: Kirkland, Washington.

That’s it. Some information isn’t even correct. Martin, who lives in Columbus, plays out of NorthStar Golf Club in Sunbury. Otherwise, his bio looks like Morse code without the dots.

Turned pro (–)

Birthplace (–)

College (–)

Events played (–)

Official money (–)

Move over, Tour, it’s time to meet Mr. Dash.

Before we get into Martin’s back story, his present situation should be addressed. The former caddie on the professional men’s and women’s tours teed off Thursday in the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois, his first PGA Tour event as a player. After nearly 10 years of toting the bag for others, Martin is now swinging the club for himself.

And swinging it well. Earlier this week in his first attempt at “Monday qualifying,” the native of Mukilteo, Washington, shot a 10-under-par 62 to earn one of four spots reserved for “extras” in the John Deere field.

But finishing first at the Monday qualifier wasn’t even Martin’s serendipity moment. That came last Thursday, when needing to pre-qualify for the Monday qualifier his 3-foot par putt barely sneaked into the right side of the cup.

“If that 3-footer lips out I don’t get into the Monday qualifier and I don’t shoot 62,” Martin said Wednesday. “I got done with the round and it was pretty surreal.”

Unreal is a better way to describe Martin’s journey from touted high school player to so-so college player to assistant pro at a Florida course to a nine-month stint trying to make it as a professional player, to caddying for a friend in Europe, then for Mark Hubbard on the Korn Ferry and PGA tours. Finally, in 2021, Martin switched from men’s to women’s golf, caddying for Ryann O’Toole for a year before tiring of the travel.

“I took nine months off, because I was mentally exhausted and needed a refresher,” he said, explaining the caddie life meant sometimes working more than a month without a day off if your boss made four or five cuts in a row.

Reid was living in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. His fiance, Sarah Phillips, lived in Columbus. His heart won out over sea, sand and sunshine.

“I got to the point of, ‘Why not just move there?’ he said of the decision to leave Florida for the Arch City. “I packed up shop in about 48 hours and got out of town.”

Martin wasn’t sure where his future would lead, but Phillips had an inkling. She encouraged him to return to the golf course, but this time as a player.

“I got back into it and found a love for the game I never had,” he said, explaining that after joining NorthStar in the spring of 2022 he played nearly 140 rounds over 165 days.

Over that stretch, he made a bunch of birdies, and just as many friends. Golf and social gathering galvanized a thought: why not give professional golf one more shot?

“Sarah and I come back from the Daytona 500 in February and she starts drafting stuff to other people, selling shares of me, sponsorship of me,” he said. “We did that and got amazing feedback, got almost everything we were asking for, which has helped take the weight off my shoulders so Sarah (Phillips works at Worthington Industries) is not having to fund everything.”

Before you say, ‘Sign me up for that deal,’ realize the spigot typically eventually turns off if the “stock” tanks after failing over and over to qualify for tournaments, which is why playing in the John Deere Classic is so huge. It shows friends the fruit of their faith in Martin is ripening.

In that way, Martin is Columbus’ Michael Block, the club pro who gained fame in May by tying for 15th at the PGA Championship. Except Block already was known in California as an excellent amateur player. Martin was known only as a full-time caddie who was an average college player at Central Florida.

Imagine the reaction of other caddies when he showed up on the practice range at the John Deere. The looper they knew suddenly was a long-hitting player in dress pants and golf spikes.

“Funny, a handful of those caddies came up and asked who I was caddying for this week,” he said. “We chuckled about it.”

Everyone has welcomed Martin like he truly belongs, which he believes he does.

“I think they know I play good golf,” he said, adding, “I want to win.”

He has his work cut out for him after shooting an opening-round 1-over-par 72 at TPC Deere Run, which puts him outside the top 70 entering cut day Friday. But why not aim high? If you don’t believe you can, then most definitely you cannot. Plus, having experienced Tour competition from the caddie side gives Martin a sort of inside information attitude he plans to use to full advantage.

“I’ve always had the talent. I never had the golf brains I do now,” he said. “It’s very fortunate I was a caddie, because I can pick apart the course on my own. At the end of the day I’ve done so much of that stuff, it’s almost natural to do a pre-shot routine where I’m figuring out the shot. The caddie brain comes out when I hit shots in a tournament.”

But just in case, Martin has Columbus friend Gavin Pulliam on his bag this week. Pulliam, a bartender at NorthStar who also has caddied at Scioto and Muirfield Village, has the kind of low-key personality Martin wants beside him.

“I’ve had to teach him a few things, but he absolutely wants to learn,” Martin said. “I had to learn from someone, too. As long as the work ethic is there – I can get my own yardage numbers – I don’t see a problem.”

How could he? Martin is living the dream. His job is golf, where for a change he gets to swing clubs instead of clean them.

This teenager aced a 403-yard par 4 during a PGA Tour Monday qualifier

Bet he couldn’t do that again.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

It’s not every day you see golfers making holes-in-one at professional events. Even that’s difficult for the best players in the world.

It’s almost a guarantee you’ll never see them make one on a par 4.

Don’t tell Aldrich Potgieter that.

The teenager from South Africa who recently turned pro aced a par 4 on the 403-yard 17th hole during a Monday qualifier for the PGA Tour’s 2023 John Deere Classic at Pinnacle Country Club in Milan, Illinois. He didn’t see the ball go into the hole and had no idea it was in until his caddie in the fairway ahead of him started freaking out.

In the history of the PGA Tour, there has only been one ace recorded on a par 4: Andrew McGee at the 2001 Phoenix Open.

Potgieter, 18,  was 5 under in his final five holes on the back nine (his first side) and signed for a 6-under 66— but he missed getting into the field by one shot.

He made his professional debut two weeks ago at the Korn Ferry Tour’s Compliance Solutions Championship in Norman, Oklahoma, then played last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, where he missed the cut. He also made starts at the Masters and U.S. Open this year, making the cut at Los Angeles Country Club and finishing 64th.

This pro just had kidney stone surgery, but he’s feeling better after Monday qualifying and shining in Puerto Rico

The last few months have been painful for the former Duke University star off the course. He looked at ease on Thursday, though.

The last two years have been painful on the golf course for Ryan Blaum.

A 2005 first-team All-American from Duke University, Blaum and his wife picked up after years in Florida and moved back to North Carolina in 2021 after adopting a son, right in the middle of a PGA Tour season that saw him miss 10 of a dozen cuts.

The two-time PGA Tour Latinoamérica winner found his way into just a pair of PGA Tour events last season, making the cut at just the Mexico Open, where he made his lone Tour paycheck of $48,910

Quite a far cry from consecutive seasons in which he earned nearly $1 million a year on Tour in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

But the last few months have also been painful for Blaum off the course. He underwent kidney stone surgery in late January and wasn’t sure how he’d fare in his first PGA Tour start of this season when he made the trip to Puerto Rico this week.

“That kind of knocks you on your butt,” Blaum said of the surgery. “So I feel like I’m kind of just now feeling energetic again, just coming out of anesthesia and all the stuff they have you on afterwards.”

Blaum certainly didn’t appear to be suffering any ill effects on Thursday, as he fired a 68 in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Open at Grand Reserve Golf Club.

Blaum played his way into the event through a Monday qualifier at Wellington National Golf Course near West Palm Beach, Florida, using a 7-under 65 to gain entry.

He started just as hot on Thursday, posting birdies on two of the first four holes.

Blaum, who held Tour cards for three seasons from 2016-17 to 2018-19, stayed consistent throughout the morning, posting identical 34s on the front and back to stay within a few shots of the early-wave leaders.

“It was nice there wasn’t any wind for the first five holes or so today so I was able to take advantage early,” Blaum said. “Then from there, in this kind of wind you have to stay patient, play to the fat side of the green and hopefully roll in a few putts and that’s what I did.”

96 golfers in Monday qualifier vie for final three spots in $20 million WM Phoenix Open

The qualifier was first likened to an opposite-field event a couple years ago.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — To someone who didn’t know any better, the driving range at sunny McCormick Ranch Golf Club didn’t look any different Monday. Each hitting space was occupied with golfers slowly working their way through their buckets of Pinnacle practice balls.

A player in his 60s showed his friend his new driver head cover featuring Cartman from the animated TV show South Park. A younger golfer in his late 20s practiced in a black hoodie and camouflage joggers.

But this wasn’t any other Monday, as just feet away was Harrison Endycott, a PGA Tour pro from Australia. Fellow Aussie Aaron Baddeley was on the practice green with his two kids, hair as long as their dad’s.

Harry Hall, a 25-year-old Englishman who played at UNLV, had a Trackman stuffed in his Callaway Paradym tour bag on a brand new push cart.

“I know I’ve got a PGA Tour schedule for the rest of the year and I’m a rookie and I’ve got tournaments I’ll definitely be in so this would be a perk,” Hall said. “I’m a Vegas boy so I like the desert, I enjoy the crowd and that’s why I’m here.”

Another Tour rookie, Ben Griffin, who’s 30th in FedEx Cup points, was at the qualifier because he doesn’t yet have enough status to already be in the Phoenix Open field.

But it’s not just rookies in the qualifier field. Grayson Murray, Martin Trainer, Kevin Chappell, DJ Trahan, Bo Van Pelt and Robert Garrigus were there, too.

SCORES: WM Phoenix Open Monday qualifier

In all, 96 golfers took to the Pine Course to vie for one of the final three spots in the 2023 WM Phoenix Open. The qualifier was first likened to an opposite-field event a couple years ago but this year in particular it makes sense that there’s so much interest as it’s the first full-field designated event and features a $20 million purse with a $3.6 million first-place prize.

Baddeley is a past champion at TPC Scottsdale with more than $25 million in career earnings. He has made six cuts in eight outings in 2023, including two top-10s but didn’t snag one of the five coveted sponsor invitations. As he put the finishing touches on his pre-round warm-up, a fan noticed him, told him good luck and added: “Maybe next time you won’t have to put up with this.”

[afflinkbutton text=”Book your trip to TPC Scottsdale today” link=”https://www.golfbreaks.com/en-us/vacations/scottsdale/tpc-scottsdale/the-stadium-course/?cid=999740052&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=golfweek&utm_campaign=pgat_tournament_courses_q3_22_gw”]

Baddeley, whose 12-year-old daughter took it upon herself to write a letter to the Thunderbirds, who run the Phoenix Open, asking them to offer her dad a spot. That plan fell through so a day after finishing tied for 37th at the weather-plagued AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Baddeley slept in his own bed at his Scottsdale home and drove to qualifier.

“I was disappointed not to get in for sure,” he said. “My game’s in a good spot, and being up there in the FedEx [60th], I thought I had a good chance, past champ. Already have two top-10s, the game is really good.”

The qualifier might have had even more golfers but the Monday finish at Pebble Beach altered a lot of plans.

There were 19 pros on the original entry list who withdrew from the qualifier, including Nick Hardy, the Phoenix Open’s first alternate.

At least two golfers who wanted to play the qualifier couldn’t. Eric Cole, T-15 at Pebble, and Sung Kang, T-29 at Pebble, scrambled from the Monterey Peninsula and landed at Scottsdale Airport about six miles north of McCormick Ranch about 30 minute before their 1:40 p.m. local tee time. But they were too late.

The Monday qualifier finished before dark and without a playoff, with Andre Metzger shooting a 65 to lead the way. Brett White and Dalton Ward each shot a 66, making those three the ones who advanced to 2023 WM Phoenix Open.
