His stats this year have not been great http://www.pgatour.com/players/playe...ce-stats/#uber
His putting has been excellant, but his ball striking was inconsistant. Historically Ames has always been a fantastic ball striker. His driving distance is well down pga standards, and he is not hitting as many greens. I suspect the two are related.
On the champions tour though, his length would be just fine. Im really excited for him and think he can really go on a run out there.
What are the rules for qualifying? Does he automatically get entry due to his career money? Does he need a big start to next pga season ( which he may not have full status for)? |
There is a qualifying process not unlike the regular tour, but there are exemptions as well.
Somewhat convoluted but i dont believe Ames qualifies for any of them...
