PGA TOUR Qualifying School - Round One

Battling winds gusting to 30 MPH and rain showers during the afternoon, 24-year-old Troy Merritt of the U.S. has claimed a one shot first-round lead with a five-under par 67, just ahead of former Canadian Tour member Jay Williamson.

Delaet, a three time Canadian Tour winner and the 2009 Order of Merit Champion, just back from representing Canada in the World Cup in China, posted three birdies and one bogey to move into a tie for sixth place at two under par 70.

Trudeau, a distant relative of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau (1919-2000), recorded three birdies and a pair of bogeys for a one-under 71 and a share of 11th place.

More than 30 current and former Canadian Tour members are in the field this week.

After the top 25 and ties have received their fully exempt PGA TOUR cards, the next number of players nearest to 50 will receive fully exempt membership on the Nationwide Tour.

The remaining players who have made it to the final stage of Q-school will have conditionally exempt status on the Nationwide Tour.
