He s 79th in driving distance and 76th in eagles scored per hole. But the only stat that really counts is that 225. It s that simple, you ve got to make cuts to make money. Purdy says it s been a long time since he s played a round of golf and not thought about the business aspect of the game. But he s happy to look up the money list and see all the talent in front of him.
Golf is a capitalist game.
Better players mean more money and better competition for everyone. Confidence has never been a problem for Purdy and he welcomes the challenge of becoming a Tour regular. If he must return to Q-school to meet that challenge, than so be it. But he s still got a little unfinished business in the dwindling 1999 season. Not only would a victory in one of the remaining events secure his coveted Tour card for another season or two, but it would mean a lot to someone who means a lot to Purdy his grandfather.
