The off season for the LatinoAmerica tour during the South American winter roughly corresponds to the Mackenzie tour (i.e, the so-called Canadian summer). Yes, Conners is fully qualified for the Mackenzie tour based on his performance last summer.

RE: Kent Golfers in the Pros - 2016
In golf action this week, Taylor Pendrith, Ryan Yip and Mackenzie Hughes are playing the web.com tour event in Louisiana. Pendrith and Yip will miss the cut, while Hughes should make it (they stopped play during the second round today because of weather). He's near the cut line though and will need a big run to get into contention.
And, Corey Conners is playing the Lexus Panama Classic on the Latinoamerica Tour. He had back to back eagles today to push himself into a tie for 1st going into the weekend. This is following up on a third place finish during the year's first event, so he's off to a very nice start.

Ben is cooked. When you don't play often, you usually don't play well when you do.

That's true, but he did that to himself.

Not the best round for Conners today, shooting a 2 over and falling back to a tie for 9th.

In Brazil,
* Hughes missed the cut after shooting even today.
* Yip had a bad day (4 over) and missed the cut by one stroke.
* Pendrith had another solid day (4 under) and is tied for 9th going into the weekend four strokes off the lead.

Too many bogies today. Hopefully, he'll pick up the pace tomorrow and finish well.

Big picture: it's $6k closer to a PGA card.

RE: Kent Golfers in the Pros - 2016
To the web.com tour in Columbia, Ryan Yip, Taylor Pendrith and Mackenzie Hughes are in action.
In today's first round, Hughes shot 2 under (tied for 6th), Yip 1 under (tied for 16th) and Pendrith is 11 over through 15 holes and in last. It'd be the greatest round of bopol's life, but I'm sure Pendrith isn't happy with it.

RE: Kent Golfers in the Pros - 2016
Rough Day for the Kent guys:
* Pendrith recovered today and shot par, but you really can't recover from a first round 83 and he misses the cut.
* Yip shot 7 over today and misses the cut.
* Hughes shot 2 over, and makes the cut tied for 40th.

Solid effort from Hughes today (3 under). He moves up to a tie for 30th.

RE: Kent Golfers in the Pros - 2016
Hughes shot even today and will finish tied for 30th or so.
Even though not a great weekend, it is important to make the early cuts to stay in the tournaments throughout the year. After 8 tournaments (this was the 5th), the order in which players can be selected for the tournament is reordered and early success ensures that you can get in the tournaments all year. Right now, Pendrith is in great shape (27th in money), Hughes ok (93rd in money) and Yip needs a good tournament badly (150th in money).
