LA QUINTA, Calif. – Two years after playing for Europe on a winning Ryder Cup team, Ross Fisher of England endured six stressful days to earn a PGA Tour card.

In the final Q-school where players could go straight to the PGA Tour, Fisher easily finished among the top 25 on Monday to get his card. D.H. Lee of South Korea birdied his last three holes for a 67 to win Q-school, giving him the highest priority ranking for next year and a $50,000 check.

Erik Compton, who has gone through two heart transplants, made it back to the tour by tying for seventh.

The heartbreak this year belonged to Edward Loar, who started the final round two shots out of the lead. He finished double bogey-bogey and missed by two shots.

Ottawa’s Brad Fritsch was the lone Canadian to finish among the top-25. He had already earned his card by virtue of his position on the Web.com Tour’s money list, but improved his standing with a seventh-place finish at Q-school.

Fritsch flirted with the lead on Monday and closed with a 4-under 68.

That was the same score posted by Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., who fell two shots shy of a PGA Tour card. He tied for 32nd and will play in golf’s minor leagues again next year.

Roger Sloan (68) of Merritt, B.C., tied for 73rd, Calgary’s Ryan Yip (72) and Matt Hill (74) of Bright’s Grove, Ont, finished 118th and Mitch Evanecz (71) of Red Deer, Alta., was 139th.
