Fran Quinn

Quinn was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and attended Northwestern University where he graduated in 1987 with a degree in Economics. He turned professional in 1988.
Quinn played his first full season on the Web.com Tour and then the Ben Hogan Tour, in 1991, where he made 13 of 25 cuts. He later in the year finished T-8th at Q-School, obtaining his PGA Tour card for 1992. He made only 6 of 18 cuts in 1992 and lost his tour card for 1993.
Quinn played off and on the PGA and Nationwide Tour's from 1993 to 1997 until he shifted his focus mainly to the Web.com Tour. In 1999, Quinn picked up his first win on a major tour at the Dakota Dunes Open in a playoff. He had three top-10s on the season, but it was not enough to earn his PGA Tour card for 2000.
Quinn won his first start of 2000 at the Florida Classic, but it was his only top 10 of the season. He finished with $125,000 in season-long earnings. After his 2000 win, Quinn saw his game come to a standstill. From the Florida win and mid-2009, he had played in 235 events, not winning any of them, finishing in the top-10 only 11 times.
Quinn saw his career resurrected in late 2009 at the Albertsons Boise Open in September. He went head-to-head in the final round with Blake Adams, who had led after all three rounds. Quinn found himself tied for the lead at the 18th hole. He hit his approach within 10 feet and knocked in his birdie putt after Adams failed to make his. It was Quinn's third career Web.Com Tour win, and it put him to over $1,000,000 in Web.Com Tour career earnings. It also vaulted him from 92nd to 18th on the 2009 money list. He finished the year 25th on the money list to earn his 2010 PGA Tour card.
Stress fractures limited Quinn to seven PGA Tour events in 2010, where he made two cuts. Quinn also played in three Nationwide Tour events in 2010, where he won his fourth career Nationwide Tour event, the Panama Claro Championship. He played the 2011 and 2012 seasons on a Major Medical Exemption, which he was unable to satisfy.
