Here’s how much each player earned

This week at the Black Desert Championship, Kevin Streelman hit PGA Tour cut No. 301, a week after he hit PGA Tour cut No. 300, and people have been asking him to remember PGA Tour No. 1 .

He is happy about it. He remembers it well.

“It was the 2005 Milwaukee Open at Brown Deer Park,” Streelman said this week. “I went on the mini tours. I qualified on Monday. Talk about a nerve-wracking round on Friday afternoon because I didn’t have anything special. I lived in my mom’s car, my parents’ basement, traveled all over the country, and tried to perform at mini-tour events. On Monday I was there and made a cut that I knew at the time was about $10,000 in last place, which would pay for my Q school and pretty much the Dakotas tour. It was a very meaningful thing for me.

“I think I came 25th and made about $25,000, and I figured that paid for the rest of my year and my entry fees, and I think I actually paid for Courtney’s engagement ring with that.”

Mom’s car? What kind of car was that?

“My mom had a Nissan Altima,” Streelman said. “It was a 1993 Nissan Altima. It was a little tight in the back seat.

“But these are great memories.”

How many miles were on it?

“I put about 250,000 miles on my mom’s,” Streelman said, “and then I got a second one and put about 200,000 miles on it, and then I had just bought a new Camry in my fifth year on the minitours and have that I got. “I bought my PGA Tour card and traded it in for a Porsche 911 after my first year on the PGA Tour.”

Where did he shower and stuff?

“Yeah, Motel 6, Super 8,” Streelman said. “It was all I could do.”

Here a reporter noticed Streelman smiling as he told the stories. He was asked if the journey from PGA Tour cut No. 1 to PGA Tour No. 301 was difficult.

That was it, he said, and in some ways it wasn’t.

“It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also so beautiful that there’s nowhere else to go but up,” Streelman said. “I was lucky enough to have a diploma from a nice university, but I wanted to get out of here. There was no other option. There was no second option.

“I think if you have a second option, you don’t achieve the first option. I really saw it that way. Whatever I have to do, whether I have to work at Kierland, whether I have to caddy at Whisper Rock, whether I have to work as a substitute teacher at my high school, what I’ve done all these things, then I’ll do it, to save money and give myself a chance. Then when I get the opportunity you have to take it and I was lucky enough to make it through Q-School on my sixth attempt in 2007 and I’m out here 17 years later.”
