One To Go For Revell

With three rounds in the rear-view mirror, Brad Revell of Kingston is within reach of this week’s goal – to earn playing status on the Canadian Tour.  The 2-time former Ontario Junior Champion made the jump to the pro ranks early last summer but has yet to find a home where he can play a steady stretch of golf.  That may all change tomorrow.

In tough scoring conditions, on Thursday Revell added a 72 to his three round tally at the Canadian Tour’s Spring Qualifying School being held in Parksville, British Columbia.  Scores of 71, 76, and 72 put him at three over par for the tournament and in a tie for 5th place.  At the end of the day on Friday the top five players will be fully exempt for the 2011 Canadian Tour while the next five will earn non-exempt status.  Revell wants to be part of that group.

The Cataraqui Golf & Country Club member has faced many challenges on his way to where he is today.  It’s safe to say that with a card earned tomorrow, there will be a lot be be thankful for, and more than a few things to reflect upon.  Hopefully he can make that happen with another strong round that would really help him kick off his professional career in earnest.

At the same time as Revell will be grinding for a card, there is an equally compelling story at Q-School this week that will be of interest to many golf fans.

A third round score of 68 has pushed Isabelle “Izzy” Beisiegel into contention for a card as well.  Now in ninth place, if Beisiegel does earn a card tomorrow she will be, as far as we are aware, the first women to qualify for a predominantly male professional golf tour through a qualifying tournament.  “Today felt like a miracle, I just need to take the same approach tomorrow, focus on each shot and let God determine the result,” said an elated Beisiegel after her round.
