The long road to the PGA Tour was indeed a lengthy journey for Canada's Taylor Pendrith.
He didn't decide on professional golf plans until midway through his four-year run at Kent State University. Pendrith turned pro in 2014 and has since endured the grind of the lower-level circuits.
He bounced from tour to tour, lost status for a couple years, battled injuries and survived on minimal earnings.
