Taylor Pendrith has come to accept that his path to the PGA Tour is going to be longer and have a few more twists and turns than some of his peers.

After two injury-plagued seasons, Pendrith just missed out on earning a card on this season’s Web.com Tour after a disappointing round in the second stage of qualifying school on Nov. 9. He’s vowed to learn from that event and is determined to make the Web.com Tour by the end of 2019, and wants to have a strong showing on Canada’s Mackenzie Tour in the meantime.

“I was trying too hard to make birdies instead of just letting them come naturally,” said Pendrith about the fateful round. “I learned that patience is key. Whether you’re having a good round or a bad round you’re going to get good breaks and you’re going to get bad breaks, that’s just the way golf goes.

“You can’t control it, you can’t control the outcome of anything. It sounds cliche, but you just have to take it one shot at a time.”
