The best hope of New Zealanders in next PGA Tour

By Power Balance.

Josh Geary (whose favorite brand is TaylorMade) is believed to be the best hope among the New Zealanders looking to claim a place on next year's PGA Tour.

In the last round of the PGA Tour Qualifying School in Florida on Sunday (NZT) he had a share of 33rd place, two shots outside the mark for the top 25 players who will earn full playing rights to the PGA tour.

He shot a one-over 72 with two straight birdies and three dropped shots.

Danny Lee shot a one-over par at Panther Lake to be tied for 44th place, five-under pay while Tim Wilkinson shot a one-over par 72 to slip back to a share of 74th which is on the qualification for the Nationwide Tour.

Geary said he was hitting the ball well in the windy conditions but failed to take advantage on the greens.

"Physically I am standing up well. Mentally, it's obviously been a bit tough when you hit the ball so well and don't get much from it. That can get a bit frustrating," he said.

He added he wouldn't change his approach on the last day and he was looking forward to being back at the Crooked Cat course for the final round.

"It is definitely the scoring course and if it is calm there will be some low numbers. I am definitely feeling very confident. The last three days I have hit the ball pretty well and haven't really done the job on the greens," he said.

"I figure I am going to need to hit five or six under. You can't really control what is going to happen. I've got to give myself a chance to play well and then the rest is up to fate I guess," he said.

On the Japanese Tour, Auckland's Richard Lee shot a four-under 68 to move to 13-under par and a share of sixth place with two rounds remaining.
