"He picks his clubs up for one month and gets to the final stage."

Great story by Doug Ferguson on Brett Waldman, luggage looper for Camilo Villegas and Q-school finalist after picking up his clubs a month ago for the pre-qualifier.

Waldman shot a 68 in the final round at the TPC Craig Ranch outside Dallas last week and made it through yet another stage of PGA Tour qualifying. He is one of only nine players still alive after starting this improbable journey by having to go through pre-qualifying. Now he's in next week's final stage at Orange County National in Orlando, where the top 25 earn their tour cards.

"Some of these guys who do it for a living, they play and practice all year through," said Lance Bennett, the caddie for Matt Kuchar who was on the bag for Waldman the last two stages. "He picks his clubs up for one month and gets to the final stage."
