San Rafaels Miller 128th at Q-school after fourth day

December 7, 2009

After thunderstorms halted Fridays third round, darkness postponed Zack Miller, a Branson School graduate who grew up in San Rafael, on Saturday in the fourth round of the PGA Tour qualifying tournament at the Bear Lake Country Club. Miller, who fell into a tie at 128th place, was at 3-over par through eight holes on the Links Course when play was suspended Saturday due to darkness. Miller is 5-over for the tournament.

Troy Merritt and Jay Williamson were atop the leader board at 15 under when play was suspended, and a group that included PGA Tour veteran Jeff Maggert, Billy Horschel and Graham Delaet were two strokes back. Matt Jones was among the only players to finish his fourth round, shooting a 5-under 67 to get to 11 under.

The top 25 finishers and ties after the six-round tournament earn PGA Tour cards for 2010, with roughly 50 more earning fully exempt status for the Nationwide Tour. Round 4 resumes early Sunday morning.
