GREG MACHTALER AND BRAD CLAPP SECURE PGA TOUR CANADA CARDS

Summerland Golf & Country Club Assistant Professional Greg Machtaler did it the easy way, while Chilliwack Golf Club's Brad Clapp had to work a bit harder for their PGA Tour Canada 2014 playing privileges.

Machtaler finished at -7 after the four rounds of PGA Tour Canada Q-School at the Crown Isle Resort & Golf Community on Friday and was tied for fourth place for one of the 18 fully exempt cards handed out.

Clapp capitalized on the misfortune of Blake Snyder, who was playing in the final group of the day and shot 77 to fall out of the top 18. That meant the six players at -2, 286, including Clapp, went to a playoff for the final fully exempt spot.

After three players, Justin Bardgett, Russell Surber and Philip Francis, were eliminated on the first playoff hole, the big move was made by Clapp on the third playoff hole, or the picturesque and challenging 18th hole at Crown Isle.

Clapp bombed his drive and then hit his approach to 20 feet below the hole. After Nate McCoy and Sean Dale missed their birdie putts, Clapp calmly rolled in his putt for the exempt spot.

Crown Isle holds a lot of great memories for Clapp, because two years earlier, at the 2012 PGA of BC Championship held there, he was also victorious.

Machtaler and Clapp will now have several weeks to get their games in gear before the PC Financial Open at Point Grey Golf & Country Club May 26 to June 1, the opening event of the 2014 PGA Tour Canada schedule.

Other PGA of BC members playing in that event will be Olympic View Golf Club's Kevin Maxwell and Seymour Creek Golf Centre's Bryn Parry, who each received sponsor's exemptions into the tournament.
