Monday Musings The Good, the Bad and the Ugly from this week’s Monday Qualifiers Welcome to my weekly column rounding up the action at Monday qualifiers across the golf world. The journey continues…. The Good A 90-foot bomb for eagle is a pretty sweet way to get through, and Tommy Gibson did just that on the third playoff hole at the Korn Ferry Tour Monday qualifier in Raleigh, N.C. After making pars on the first two playoff holes, he was just short of the green at the par-5 3rd hole with a lot of mud on his ball. Undeterred, he calmly rolled in the putt. Gibson is an assistant club pro in the area, and after his morning 67 he drove to his home an hour away, thinking he didn’t have a chance to get through. But as more scores came in, Gibson realized a playoff was a possibility so he jumped in his car and drove back to Bryan Park Golf Course, arriving around 5 p.m. What a story. Since I began tracking Mondays in 2017, Gibson became just the second player (who I know of) to make it through with a triple bogey on the card. But after screwing up the 7th hole, Gibson followed with a birdie and then an eagle to turn at 2 under
