Erik Compton's Q-school quest continues

Posted at 9:47 AM by Charlie Hanger | Categories: Erik Compton , Q school

One of the most dramatic golf stories of the year is Erik Compton's attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour after having his second heart transplant just five months ago. He has advanced to the second stage of Q-school, where he shot two-under 70 on Wednesday and Thursday at Southern Hills Plantation Club in Brooksville, Fla. At four under after two days, he trailed the leaders by three shots.

Qualifying continues today through Saturday, and you can follow his progress on pgatour.com's official site. For information on all of the qualifying sites, go here.
