OMAHA >> Doug Quinones of Hidden Valley Lake carded a 1-under-par 70 during second-round play on Friday at the Pinnacle Bank Championship on the Web.com Tour in Omaha. Quinones shot a first-round 75 on Thursday and his 3-over-par 36-hole total of 145 missed the cut by four strokes.
Starting off on the 10th tee at the end of the mid-afternoon wave on Friday, Quinones lost a stroke to par with a bogey-four on the par-4 13th hole. He then rebounded by recording three birdies in four holes. Quinones birdied the par-5 15th hole, the par-4 16th hole, and the par-4 18th hole to make the turn at 2-under-par 33.
Starting his final nine on the first hole, Quinones ran off two consecutive pars and then took a step back with a bogey-five on the third hole. He bounced back with a birdie-four on the next hole, but then stumbled on his 15th hole of the day when he took a double-bogey six on the par-4 sixth hole. A birdie-two on his second-to-last-hole of the day got Quinones back to red figures for second-round play and a final-hole par got him into the house with a final-nine score of 1-over-par 37.
The 36-hole cut at the Pinnacle Bank Championship, including the low 70 and ties, was at 1-under-par 141.
Quinones’ stats at the Web.com Tour event contested at the Club at Indian Creek were a bit of a mixed bag. He made eight birdies, 19 pars, seven bogeys, and a pair of double bogeys. He was ranked sixth in putting statistics and averaged 299 yards off the tee, his longest recorded tee shot measuring out at 348 yards. Quinones hit 50 percent of the fairways off the tee and 47 percent of the greens in regulation.
The Pinnacle Bank Championship was won on Sunday afternoon by Web.com Tour journeyman David Skinns of England. The 36-year-old Skinns recorded his first victory in three seasons on the developmental tour and now finds himself among the top 15 money winners on the Web.com Tour. The top 25 money winners at the end of the season earn exempt status onto the PGA Tour for the 2018-2019 wrap-around season.
Quinones, the two time leading money winner on the Dakotas Tour, was a four-time All-Coastal Mountain Conference golfer from Middletown High School. The 2008 Middletown High School grad played collegiate golf at Kansas University.
