Brad Klapprott
Golf is an outdoor sport where player as an individual or from varied teams strike a ball targeting a hole using various clubs. The game basically originated from Scotland and has been played for at least five centuries in the British Isles. The two basic forms of playing golf are match play and stroke play.
Nationwide Tour is the developmental tour for the U.S. based PGA, Professional Golfer’s Association Tour and features professional golfers who have either failed to score well at the Qualifying School to earn their PGA Tour card, or who have done so but then failed to win enough money to stay at that level. The Nationwide Tour is one of the nine tours on which Official World Golf Ranking points are available, and one of only two developmental tours that offer ranking points.
Brad Klapprott was a golf player who played nationwide tours. He was born on February 28, 1969 in Keokuk, Iowa. He got his start in golf from his dad at the age of five. His non-golf related jobs include, working the parts department of a Toyota dealership. His 2006 Nationwide Tour grabbed his first top-10 finish of the season by posting all four rounds in the 60s at The Rex Hospital Open, leading to a top 5 finish.

He made the cut in 11 of 20 starts, with a Tied 3rd at the Hershey Open, his best career finish.
