just tried checking information for this week's stanford st. jude event. john daly received a sponsors exemption and made the cut. the only other sponsors exemption i could find was phillip francis, an 18 year old who is the "rolex junior player of the year."

The only amateur in the field this week is 18-year-old Phillip Francis of Scottsdale, Ariz., who opened with a 78. Francis, the 2006 Rolex Junior Player of the Year, received a sponsor exemption into the field this week. Francis won five times last year on the AJGA circuit and also captured the U. S. Junior Amateur crown. He has signed a letter-of-intent to play golf at UCLA in the fall. Francis has already accepted a sponsor exemption into the John Deere Classic in mid-July. He hopes to join Tad Fujikawa (Sony Open in Hawaii/T20) as the only AJGA players to make a cut on the 2007 PGA TOUR.

he finished near the end of the pack at a tie for 137th. he would have fit under your minimum 18 year old age limit. the point is, young or old, i don't think many sponsors exemptions make the cut anyway.
