August 21, 20214 yr Ghim went out early and shot a 63. Corey Conners just made the turn with a 29 on his first nine.
August 21, 20214 yr Cam Smith needs birdie on 18 for 59. Missed a 12 footer. 60. Edited August 21, 20214 yr by 4th&Five

August 23, 20214 yr Forgive me I'm rusty on my FedEx Cup rules -- can Jordan play poorly enough to not qualify for next week?

And he will leave today in the top 10, he is playing in Atlanta; there is no way he drops to 31st in one week. And the BMW and Tour Championship are no-cut rich-get-richer events, so he could limp his way to a big payoff (maybe he bet against himself this week on FanDuel (as a hedge).

The playoff points are skewed towards the top, going into this week : Morikawa had 2,171 points & he missed the cut Jordan had 2,139 Si Woo Kim (#30) had 1,187 JT Poston (#70) had 697 Winner this week gets 2,000, 10th place gets 300, 20th place gets 180... (next weeks points are the same as this week) Same next week Long story short - both Morikawa and Jordan are playing in Atlanta The leaderboard projection is that 3 or 4 players outside the top 60 will move up and play next week (and only 2 players move out of the top 30 - Si Woo Kim and Kisner both MC'd) https://www.pgatour.com/fedexcup/fedexcup-point-distribution--fedexcup-playoffs.html Edited August 23, 20214 yr by Wally Fairway

I know that guys can move up in a hurry - wasn't thinking about the flipside. It's hard to move down that many spots. That said - every spot counts quite a bit in Atlanta. The difference between 2nd and 10th going into that week is quite a few strokes. The whole thing still seems silly but whatever.
August 23, 20214 yr Author I see Finau has jumped up to T1 - anyone think he will close this out and get his first win?

August 23, 20214 yr Cam Smith ties Finau at -20. Finau in trouble on 18. Smith about to tee off on 18. Rahm one back at -19.
August 23, 20214 yr This could get called for darkness if they tie a couple holes... when's the last time a tournament finished on a Tuesday?

August 23, 20214 yr Damn that looked like me teeing off. Except about 100 yards longer and not as far right. Congrats Tony?

August 24, 20214 yr Author Congrats to Finau for closing it out and getting his 2nd career PGA win. And just to circle back to the FedEx cup points discussion; Morikawa dropped from 1st to 6th, missing the cut Jordan dropped from 2nd to 7th, finishing 73rd and 7 guys moved into the top 60 (Noren (T4), van Rooyen (7), Hoge (T4) , Varner (T11), Streb (T16), Wise (T21), Munoz(T21) ) displacing Jhonny 49 (MC), Charl 50 (MC) , Streelman 53 (T64), Kizzire 57 (T56) , Ryan Palmer 55 (MC) , Phil 58 (MC) & Wolff 59 (MC) Not making it into next week, but close were Mitchell T8 (63), HIggs T16 (69) and Pat Perez T16 (80) So it is safe to say that Jordan is going to Atlanta, since this week is no cut and he has a 900 point cushion over 30th, and only the top 2 spots get more than 900 points.

I f'd that up - thinking this week was 60, but it is 70 - so the details are incorrect, but it is 5 who moved up to the top 70 and 5 who are not playing this week who were in the top 70 last week (Wolff, Fitzpatrick, Hatten, Laird Merritt). Other than Wolff all those guys I named are actually in this week, and Higgs is in along with Mitchell. I lose 10 internet points for being an idiot moron dipshit

August 27, 20214 yr Author jinxing bunch of jinxers - BDC goes par/par to shoot 60, Cantlay goes birdie bogey to stay at -9 heading into 18
