TCU almuna Annika Clark and Emmy Martin are keeping their professional golf dreams alive. Both got starts on the Symetra Tour this past weekend at its Founders' Tribute tournament in Mesa, AZ, and both played well. Clark finished T11 at -7, earning $2,125. She shot 69-68 on the weekend rounds.
Martin missed the 36-hole cut by one stroke at +1. She will have another chance at this week's Symetra Tour stop in Beaumont, CA.
Both players are in Category N of the Symetra Tour's priority list (those not advancing beyond Stage 1 in the qualifying tourney). Martin is the 290th player on the priority list and Clark the 311th. I don't see Clark registered for this week's event, which is too bad. On most tours, top 10 from the prior week get automatic entry into the next event; if so, a bit of a bummer to finish one shot out of that group.
