Obremski, four others come up short at PGA qualifier
Dan Obremski won’t be playing in this week’s PGA Greenbrier Classic at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.
The Irwin native and Penn-Trafford graduate and four other Pittsburgh golfers came up short at Monday’s qualifier at Glade Springs Resort in Daniels, W.Va. There were 72 golfers competing for four spots.
The four qualifiers were Steve Allen (6-under 66), Ban Shintaro (66) and Andrew Novak and Conrad Shindler, each shooting a 68. They needed a playoff to edge out three other players.
Obremski, who shot a 3-under par 68 during the pre-qualifier Friday, shot a 2-over 73.
Other Pittsburgh area golfers who failed to qualify were Hermitage’s Matt Gurska (71), Butler’s Ron McClellan (80) and Pittsburgh’s Spencer Mellon (83). Wexford’s Gene Walter withdrew during the round.
