I've not talked to John since the night before the first round, but my guess is he's withdrawn.

The starting field was 170, including 132 Second Stage qualifiers, 34 Exempt players and 4 Nationwide Top 25 players. Today's scores were returned for 169 players.

John opened with 75 (+3) and shot 80 (+8 ) yesterday. He's been dealing with significant physical issues the past few months, and my guess is he let it go at that.

That's really too bad. Will John have status on the Nationwide next year?

Thanks,
Kevin
