PGA Tour Americas tournament begins Thursday at Uplands
There are 156 golfers teeing off today in the Beachlands Victoria Open pro golf tournament presented by the Times Colonist and just as many dreams of eventually making it to the PGA Tour.
While this will be 23-year-old Shipley’s first swing of a pro club, the 34-year-old Cazaubon has been at it since 2013. He had a college career comparable to Shipley — and that’s saying something — winning three NCAA tournaments in his final season at the University of North Texas and being named an all-America. He also led Mexico to a silver medal behind the U.S. in the 2012 Eisenhower Trophy, the world amateur team championship, and Mexico to a bronze medal in the 2011 World University Games.
PGA Tour Canada and PGA Tour Latinoamérica previously each offered five spots into the following season’s Korn Ferry Tour. Those berths will be amalgamated with the new PGA Tour Americas offering a combined 10 spots into the following year’s Korn Ferry Tour. Derek Hitchner, a sophomore pro out of NCAA Pepperdine, echoed those same thoughts on the eve of the Victoria Open. The goal is the Korn Ferry Tour followed by the PGA Tour but you’ve got to enjoy the road along the way — one that very few get to travel, whether they make it to the top or not.
