Steve Allan and Rhein Gibson were the only two Australians to play all four days at the Web.com Tour’s Pinnacle Bank Championship in Nebraska, the pair firing matching four day totals of 6-under-par to be just outside the top 30.
Steve Allan and Rhein Gibson were the only two Australians to play all four days at the Web.com Tour’s Pinnacle Bank Championship in Nebraska, the pair firing matching four day totals of 6-under-par to be just outside the top 30.
A smaller than usual Australian contingent was on hand at the Club at Indian Creek course for the event, Gibson and Allan joined by Jamie Arnold, Oliver Goss and Monday qualifier Bradley Smith.
Regular Web.com players Robert Allenby and Mark Hensby earned a start in Alabama on the PGA TOUR this week while Peter Lonard is in the UK preparing for his first tournament as a senior at the upcoming Senior Open in Wales.
Arnold will be disappointed with his performance in Omaha after some decent play in recent weeks lifted him to 42nd on the money list, the missed cut sending him back to 47th.
While still comfortably inside the number to qualify for the four tournament Finals Series that will determine 25 PGA TOUR cards at the end of the year, the rookie from Sydney would rather get into the top 25 and be guaranteed status before the finals begin.
Allan, too, has work to do if he is to keep his Web.com Tour card for 2018 as he presently sits outside the top 100 on the money list, the number guaranteed a return to the Tour next season.
Gibson slipped two places on the money list to 59th with his play this week but, like Arnold, would prefer to climb into the top 25 before the Finals Series begins in the last week of August.
