2010 Q-School Wrap-Up

The scores are here but as far as stories go, Billy Mayfair may have been medalist but Joseph Bramlett was the favorite of on-site scribblers.

Mick Elliott (here), Steve Elling (here) and Adam Schupak (here) each had a distinctive take on Bramlett, the first man of African American descent to earn a card through Q-school in 25 yards. From Schupak's story, referencing the last black man to make it to the tour via the school, Adrian Stills:

Bramlett and his caddie, longtime friend Don Allio, were having a club sandwich the day before Q-School began at Orange County National when they each read the Golfweek story recalling Stills’ success.

“We both said, ‘Whoa, that’s a long time,’ ” recalled Allio. “I think it really hit home for him.”
