KEY POINTS:
Golfer Michael Long had his hopes of joining the 2007 PGA Tour crushed yesterday by one shot.
Needing to finish inside the top 19 plus ties to advance out of second-stage qualifying at Oak Valley in Beaumont, California, Long ended up in a tie for 20th.
Phil Tataurangi carded a final round of 77 in a Texas second-round qualifying tournament to tie for 40th. The top 19 plus ties go to final qualifying.
