Graham Delaet has one-and-a-half rounds left at PGA Tour Qualifying School, but given his T2 position heading into the home stretch, he looks set to earn his card. The globe trotting DeLaet has been cool as a cumcumber all year — and has played some terrific golf for 18 months now. He’s make up four Canadians in the tour next year should he get through.

Strikes me that finishing in the Top 75 and getting Nationwide status is a big deal for these guys.
