SALT LAKE CITY - Utah senior Dustin Pimm announced Monday his plans to accept an invitation to play on the Canadian Professional Golf Tour. Pimm will lose his eligibility and miss the season's last three events.
Pimm competed in a tour qualifying event March 25-27 in San Diego. The Sandy, Utah native led after the first two rounds, before finishing ninth. The tour awarded qualifying cards to the top 22 players.
"[The tour] said, 'Either take it or leave it,'" Pimm said. "After a lot of thought, and a lot of people supporting me, I decided to take it."
Golf coach Randall McCracken said he supports his senior's decision, and steered him toward turning pro.
"This is definitely the best decision for Dustin," coach McCracken said. "It's the right thing to do."
Utah will be without Pimm's services for its remaining three tournaments. Utah plays next at the Cowboy Classic April 7-8. Senior Nick Carter will replace Pimm on Utah's roster.
"Hopefully, the rest of the guys will step up and pick up where Dustin left off," coach McCracken said. "The other guys are all good players, they've all been playing well. Hopefully, we won't miss a beat."
