2019 Wyndham Championship

[OldTomMorris]

72 -69 for Sam Saunders (#172 FedEx) so he will be heading back to the Korn Ferry Finals.

[Krt22]

Nice to see some guys outside the 125 making some moves. Svvenssen on 59 watch

[flushem]

Feel bad for Sam. He was putting up some great Thurs-Fri numbers the last few tournaments he's been in, but has just fallen apart on the weekend.

CChamp today, 32 going out

 

44 coming in? Looks like he missed a ton of shots on/around the green.

honestly heard them say Adam Svensson...and my mind told me Henrik Stenson.

 

lol

The very same. He got in as the PGA Section's Club Pro champion.

 

 

 

Seems happy with the decision

and it's Roger M-A-L-T-B-I-E people

Initially I was thinking the same but is from Canada.

There's a nice video on YouTube that recaps the Scott-Tiger battle in the U.S. Amateur and how Scott is a happily married guy who is a club pro. His future wife was his caddy at the amateur that year.

[dwboston]

That's some playing from the group of Casey, CHIII and Spieth - combined -28 after 2 rounds.

[the bishop]

Maybe its just the light, but Horschel doesn't look well at all.

[Krt22]

Cam Champ in DFL. Looks like his shot game is a complete mess right now, took a 7 on 14 after recording a GIR.

[flushem]

P Perez might make 125th.

[Darth Putter]

moving IN the Top 125

Patton Kizzire 129>>>>99

Shawn Stefani 134>>>>123

 

moving OUT

Robert Streb 124>>>>127 (has missed the cut)

Alex Noren 125>>>>128 (has made the cut)

 

Jonas Blixt at #122 and Pat Perez at #125 are currently inside the Top 125, but have missed the cut by one shot.

Current #126 Austin Cook did make the cut.

 

31 players currently outside the Top 125 have made the cut

 

Alex Cjeka, Boo Weekley and Mike Weir have made the cut and can still move inside the Top 200.

 

Viktor Hovland and Monday qualifier Paul Peterson are the two non members that have made the cut.

 

[Darth Putter]

If we had the new cut rules all the -4s would also be going home.

 

However, 83 players made the 36 hole cut.

 

So, one last time, there will be a 54 hole cut and those outside the Top 70 and ties will get an MDF finish. The MDF players will get FedEx Cup points, of course, almost certainly less than 2.

[macedan]

Brice Garnett sitting one of the lead and manages to make it on the PGA instagram page starts my weekend off right .

I think so too. I was out there today and watched Jordan on the range. He was hitting some beautiful long irons with a 5yard draw. Jordan is a over thinker and needs to get himself out the way and just play golf.

 

I think Jordan, Casey and Webb are the guys to beat for the weekend.

We talk about how boring golf is after the majors but it is pretty entertaining to see guys fighting for that 125th spot

Interesting cut numbers since you brought it up. This years Wyndham tied the PGA Tour record score for a 36 hole cut at 4 under 136. Last acheived in 2011 at the Travelers. The lowest 36 hole cut on the PGA Tour in relation to par is 6 under. Last happened in the 2008 Shriners (Las Vegas) Hospital event.

But with the same roots as Stenson, parents from over here, people made some noise about that when he made it to the tour. Guess he, like Willet knows like 10 words in our uncouth language.

Let's see how it goes. He's got a chance. But it still seems like he has a fair number of bad full swings and has been draining a lot of putts. A win is a win but this also feels like it could come undone over a few hole stretch (again).

[OldTomMorris]

Paul Casey has to like his chances over the weekend, his ball striking numbers are very impressive.

 

[flushem]

My Snede was YUGE disappointment yesterday. Hopefully he makes up over the weekend. ONE MORE YEAR!

[CCTxGolf]

Holy Smokes! Is it Hovlands turn? These 3 rookies have got it going on. And they’ve all only played like 8 events!

Seriously?

[Krt22]

Spieth back to spraying it all over the place, yikes!

[iutodd]

An and Garnett had a combined 3’ 1” for two birdies there. Talk about knocking it stiff.

It’s the real human drama of the Tour. Usually we watch walking advertisements who are already multi multi millionaires hit the ball around.

 

These guys are playing for their jobs and a LOT of money (and the new guys especially really want that money). Sure they’ll prob be fine on the KornFerry Tour but being a tour player is a whole other level. Number 175 in the FedEx cup makes more than the number one guy on the KornFerry.

 

Like Kaymer lost his card but he’s got his money - these new guys don’t have that kind of luxury.

[snizzle]

Don't cry for Kaymer. He lost his card the same way Lowry 'lost' his last season. He will still have some status sitting in the top 150 if he cares to play in some PGA tournaments next season.

One big win on the Euro Tour and Kaymer will be back in the OWGR top 50 playing in all the WGC's and Majors again too.
