DALLAS – College of Charleston men’s golf alum Seth Stuart advanced to the first stage of PGA tour qualifying school as he competed in a 54-hole pre-qualifier at the Golf Club of Dallas last week.

Stuart, who completed his eligibility last spring, carded rounds of 67-70-71 as he posted a three-round total of two under par to finish 13^th, with the top 38 advancing to the first stage of qualifying school, which takes place on 13 golf courses from Oct. 16-27.

“I’m thrilled for Seth and proud of him for this accomplishment,” CofC men’s golf coach Mark McEntire said. “He worked very hard in his time at the College of Charleston and I wish him the best as he goes for his dream of playing professional golf.”
