PGA Tour Q-School's second stage wrapped up across six venues Saturday, with seven players, who have a some sort of a connection to Manatee County, advancing to the final stage at Orange County National's Crooked Cat and Panther courses Dec. 1-6.
Today's recap takes a magnifying glass approach to see just how they continued the quest for a PGA Tour card.
There's also a glimpse into how a couple other players' dreams vanished when they flamed out in the final round of their qualifying site.
(Note: all have played at least one West Florida Golf Tour event except Tyler Leon, Ty Tryon, David Lutterus and Jason Kokrak)
Redstone Golf Club in Humble, Texas (19 players and ties advanced; cut: 2-over, 290)
Former Saint Stephen's standout Tyler Leon shot 5-under over his last 54 holes, including birdies on his last two holes, to tie for 11th and secure a final stage berth.
Redstone's 73.19 scoring average plagued most of the field, but Leon grinded through with 13 birdies to offset eight bogeys and two doubles.
TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas (20 players and ties advanced; cut: 6-under, 282)
Two West Florida Golf Tour players advanced from the other Texas venue. Former Lakewood Ranch standout Seath Lauer shot a final-round 71, while former U.S. Open qualifier Travis Hampshire carded a 69 on the last day to advance.
Lauer was buoyed by a strong final nine that included birdies on Nos. 10, 11 and 18.
Hampshire finished off the tournament with his second sub-70 round. All four of his rounds were under par.
Meanwhile, Australian David Lutterus, who is listed from Bradenton, finished in a tie for second.
Lutterus stormed out to the 36-hole lead after posting 68-64. He followed that up with 70-71 to earn entry into the next phase.
