Ex-UW golfer and cancer survivor Joel Dahmen earns PGA Tour card

Joel Dahmen didn’t want to watch, but he couldn’t help himself.

Who could blame the former University of Washington golfer? His dream was in reach, yet he was powerless to do anything to help it come true.

That was the position Dahmen found himself in Sunday during the final round of the Web.com Tour’s Portland Open, the regular-season finale. At end of the round, the top 25 players on the money list would receive PGA Tour cards.

Age: 28.

Residence: Scottsdale, Ariz.

Schools: Clarkston High School, University of Washington.
