Men's Golf

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Former Augusta State standout Major Manning posted a two-over 74 Friday in the third round of the PGA Tour’s final stage of Q School on the PGA West Stadium Course in La Quinta, Calif.

Manning dropped from a tie for 11th place into a tie for 49th at the halfway mark of the six-round, 108-hole marathon. At seven-under 209, he is only two shots out of a tie for 28th and one shot out of a tie for 36th.

In Wednesday’s first round, Manning carded eight birdies against a lone bogey and owned a share of the lead after a seven-under 65.

Richard Johnson, an ASU All-American in 1995, shot an even-par 72 and is tied for 160th.

A native of Daytona Beach, Fla., Manning led the NCAA Championships as a sophomore in 2005 after the first round with a five-under 65 at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md. He tied for fourth to earn honorable-mention All-American honors and capped his college career with his second All-America selection as a senior in 2007 while leading the Jaguars to an NCAA West Regional appearance in Tempe, Ariz.

Manning earned his first professional victory on September 14 when he claimed the Hooters Tour’s Capitol Chevrolet & Hyundai Classic outside of Columbia, S.C.

The final stage of Q School is a six-day, 108-hole marathon that features a 163-player field and includes 20 former PGA Tour winners who have combined for 48 victories. The top 25 players and ties after six rounds will earn their PGA Tour cards on Monday.

The final three rounds will be televised on Golf Channel beginning Saturday, Dec. 6 from 4 to 7 p.m., Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m., and Monday from 3:30 to 7 p.m.
