Monday Q Info golf news, qualifier stories, and live results

Iowa high school golf might have a 30 for 30 soon. Cheating allegations, bad drops, social media drama, adults heckling kids (allegedly), cheating allegations, more cheating allegations. And now this guy who has brought a lot of the stuff to light being kicked out of the state finals. I’m warning you to not go down the rabbit hole.

BREAKING NEWS: A very unfortunate situation at @LPGA 2nd stage in at Plantation Country Club in Venice Florida. The stage (there is only one second stage site) was set to begin Tuesday and the entire field is in Florida. However it will not be played this week. In an email sent to players they were told the course was unplayable from the rain from the Hurricane. The course wasn’t going to be able to mow until mid week and with more rain scheduled next week the decision was made to delay it for two weeks. However there is important context. One of the two courses at the club redid all of their greens starting in June. And because of weather (over 50 inches of rain) there have been delays. In fact the course is still not open to the members yet and the first rounds were to be played Sunday by the players in the Q-school field. In an email sent to players last week the tour indicated there would be areas that were marked ground under repair. “Areas not fully recovered will be marked ground under repair” So the situation seemed less than ideal to start, tho a source did tell me the conditions had improved greatly over the last few weeks. But they couldn’t recover from the latest rain and it left the Tour no choice. With so many international players this leaves a real logistical nitemare for the players and at a huge financial burden. Really unfortunate.

I got a message that Romo had been DQ’d a day after the final round of Q-school. Michael Bamberger called me the next day and said he had spoken with people about it. I spoke with the player who kept his score a few days later Bamberger’s story ⬇️ https://t.co/pmfA7KUorK

All Reagan Zibilski did today was shoot 62, the best score of the day by 3, her best as a pro, earned $100,000- the biggest ever in @EpsonTour history…… And moved up from 37th in points to earn her @LPGA card. Is that any good? This is the moment it became official https://t.co/UNehICVmis

Defining “All-in”. This is Madison Young. She had full LPGA status 2 years ago, conditional this season. Bounced back and forth between LPGA and @EpsonTour She is broke. More than broke. She and her husband Tyler are over 100K in debt. She still knows she can play. But right now can’t afford Q-school. Sign-ups are early next week. Tyler caddies for her but also works full-time on the road. He’s up early to work and works after each round. I asked if she had a job she could do if she stopped playing “I’m a college dropout who has never had a job.” They have looked into filing bankruptcy. “The only way out at this point is play better” she told me thru tears at the pro-am party this week. The last part of this season she has borrowed from family to just get to the next event. Hoping to play well enough to pay them back. But it’s nearly impossible to play under that pressure. This week’s winner gets $100,000. One good week and the debt would be almost wiped away. Madison is -4 and T6.
