NAPA, Calif. – Harold Varner was the Web.com Tour’s iron man, playing in all 25 starts on the developmental circuit this year.
He still needed to make a 15-foot slider to earn his PGA Tour card.
Sitting on the top-25 bubble, he sank the birdie putt in the second round to make the cut and ensure that he would become the first black golfer to earn his card via the Web.com Tour.
“It was such a grind and just the lead-up to one putt, I couldn’t even imagine that,” he said Tuesday at the Frys.
