ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Several former Knights enjoyed strong performances this week during PGA Tour Qualifying School. Connor Arendell and Greg Forest both advanced to qualifying school's second stage, and Nuno Henriques advanced to the second stage of The PGA European Tour Qualifying School.
Arendell and Forest, along with former UCF assistant coach Toby Ragland, all advanced from the Lake Jovita Country Club in Dade City Friday. Competing in a field of 80 golfers for three rounds, Arendell tied for seventh at 207 (-9), Ragland tied for ninth at 208 (-8) and Forest tied for 15th at 210 (-6).
