You play for five spots, and you have to be aggressive, smart aggressive, plus you have to keep yourself in contention, too. I'm happy with the position I'm in."In 1998, Singh became the first player from India to join the DP World Tour. He has won four times on the DP World Tour, six on the Asian Tour and four on the Japan Golf Tour.

Uresti, 54, made 385 career TOUR starts in addition to 210 Korn Ferry Tour appearances."To be able to get off to a good start early is a good feeling," Uresti said.

This is Walker's fourth appearance at Q-school; his best finish is T8 in 2019. Walker has successfully Monday qualified into 18 Champions Tour events over the past four years."I just wanted to get off to a good start and see if I could make some birdies and post a decent number just not shoot myself out on the first day," Walker said. "It feels really good. I need to stay focused and keep the putting going the way it has been and I should be just fine."Alan McLean, Simon Griffiths, Kris Blanks and Ricardo Gonzalez are also T2 after each carding 5-under 66 on the par-71, 7,115 -yard layout.At the end of four rounds, the top-5 finishers will be fully exempt into all open, full-field events for PGA Tour Champions in the 2023 season.
