Frank Linkliter II opened the final stage of the PGA Q-School at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge in Winter Garden, Florida like a lit Linkliter with matching rounds of 62 and no one came near him as he coasted to medallist honours and a return to the PGA Tour for next year.

Linkliter finished with a four stroke advantage over Brett Rumford and a host of former PGA players who earned a return to the big tour. The PGA graduating class contained no Canadians.

In the second tier, and gaining Nationwide Tour cards were Bryan DeCorso of Guelph, Ontario and Brad Fritsch of Manotick, Ontario, both former Canadian Tour players who have spent time on the Nationwide Tour previously.

Earning conditional status on the Nationwide Tour were Lee Curry of Ottawa and Ian Leggatt of Cambridge. Leggatt, at age 42, is trying to comeback from injuries. He had previously won on the PGA Tour at the Tucson Open in 2002 and on the Nationwide Tour in 2000.
