Stegmaier eyes Tour card, trying to stave off 'real job'

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – You don’t have to convince Brett Stegmaier that every dollar counts on the Web.com Tour.

Stegmaier shot a 4-under 66 in the second round of the Web.com Tour Championship, and he heads into the weekend at the season finale with a chance to challenge for the top spot on the Web.com Tour Finals money list.

It’s an opportunity that seemed light years away as recently as last month.

After a globetrotting season that featured more missed cuts than five-figure checks, the 32-year-old was pinching pennies. He had missed five straight cuts entering the final regular-season event and was outside the top 75 on the money list, the cutoff point for even qualifying for the Finals.
