| NOTES | | | The most pressure-packed tournament every year heads to LaQuinta. It`s Q
School and the huge field, comprised of regional qualifiers, will try for one
the top-25 places. That is the magic number for 2012 PGA Tour membership. The
remainder of players earn some sort of status next year on the Nationwide
Tour. Q School begins on Wednesday and ends on Monday with each player
getting three rounds at each of the two venues. Last year, Billy Mayfair won
the tournament by a stroke over William McGirt. Mayfair retained his card for
2012 thanks to finishing 109th on the 2011 money list. As is the case every
year, there are some big names in the field this week. David Duval, Steve
Flesch, Lee Janzen, Jeff Maggert, Shaun Micheel, Vaughn Taylor and Boo
Weekley will all tee it up this week in the hopes of getting back to the PGA
Tour. The Shark Shootout looms next week.
