Six West Virginia golfers were among the 29 to advance.
Besides Bradshaw, the group includes another five-time State Open winner in Brad Westfall of Grafton (71), who finished in a tie for eighth, Jordan Jarrett of Daniels (73), Justin Windon of Lewisburg (77), Jeffrey Bryant of South Charleston (79) and Monte Chittum of St. Albans (80).
The Cobb Course, which played at 7,009 yards Thursday, is expected to move some tee boxes back and play at about 7,100 yards on Monday.
