The dreams of playing on the PGA Tour resume this week for several Chattanooga-based golfers who are headed to the first round of Web.com Tour Qualifying School today in Johns Creek, Ga.

Former Hixson High golfer Paul Apyan, former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga players Bryce Ledford (from McCallie), Steven Fox and Jonathan Hodge and former Baylor School golfer Ryan Thornton all are playing at the Standard Club.

Former local high schoolers and UTC golfers Derek Rende and Stephan Jaeger will attempt to earn Web.com Tour status in two weeks at Pinewild, N.C.

"Chattanooga golf is amazing," Thornton said. "It's great to know we have a ton of guys who play on pro tours and we have great courses that can prepare you for anywhere that you're going to play."
