Nov. 1--Ted Purdy has tried everything, from scented candles to staring at walls to seeing a specialist.

The objective is preparing for the mental side of golf, but nothing seems to work these days after making less than $60,000 over the last three months.

"It's killing me," Purdy said of his concentration.

The fight for a PGA Tour card at year's end is enough to drive a player, well, to the wall.

Purdy, sitting at 125th on the Tour money list, is one of a handful of players teetering on the cusp of relief and disappointment at the Children's Miracle Network Classic at Disney, which starts today and determines everyone's fate by Sunday.

The top 125 money winners receive a get-out-of-qualifying-school-free card. So do players who have won a tournament since 2006, which includes No. 131 Joe Durant, last year's winner at the former FUNAI Classic at Disney. The others are left scrambling to make next month's Q School.
