Braden Bailey will need to go low Friday if he’s going to advance from the second stage Korn Ferry qualifier at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney to next month’s Q school.
Bailey, who had to play 27 holes Thursday after weather delays in round two, closed out his second round with a two-under-par 34 for a 71. He then struggled a bit in round three with four bogeys and three birdies for a 73.
That left the Port Neches-Groves ex with a 54-hole total of one-under 215 and tied for 43rd.
Bailey needs to finish 20th or better to advance to Q school.
He’s currently five shots behind a large group of players tied for 20th at minus 6.
