One unforgettable moment was when Davis Thompson sank an almost unbelievable 47 ft birdie putt on the 15th pole at Sedgefield Country Club. Initially, Thompson celebrated with a burst of excitement. And while his birdie did not impact Cameron Young’s commanding lead, Young eventually clinched the title with a six-stroke margin, it did stage a dramatic twist by moving Thompson from the 71st to inside the top 70 in the countdown to the playoffs. For a fleeting second, it looked like Thompson had delivered a seasonsaving blow. After parring the 16th and 17th holes, Thompson reached the final hole on the 18th, needing a par to secure his spot in the top 70 and earn a ticket to Memphis for the first playoff event. With a solid twoshot result needed on the green, he landed his approach in two shots and was left with a daunting 46- ft birdie putt. A simple two putt would have sealed his playoff destiny. Yet his first attempt raced past the hole by six and a half feet. And his rebound putt never even found the cup. Tapping in for a bogey instead. His chances evaporated as he slipped back to 71st place. A bitter fallout indeed. What sucks, but it is what it is. Thompson admitted. I just have to move on. and oneliners.

Clutch birdies FedEx Cup redemption at Windham. In the world of golf, the stakes can change dramatically in a matter of days. and the recent events at the Windham Championship. A perfect illustration of this. Amidst the intense calculations and strategic planning that characterized the final event of the PGA Tour regular season, only one player managed to secure a spot in the coveted top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings, thereby ensuring his participation in the postseason. This remarkable player who found himself languishing at a disappointing number 130 just two months prior even contemplated skipping the US Open due to his dissatisfaction with his performance. However, after a triumphant journey back home to Georgia from North Carolina, he was filled with excitement to take his children to their first day of school the following morning. That player is none other than Chris Kirk. At 40 years old, Kirk achieved a tie for fifth place at the Windham Championship where he recorded two birdies and 16 pars during a consistent Sunday at the historic Sedgefield Country Club. This impressive finish propelled him from number 73 to number 61 in the seasonlong FedEx Cup standings, earning him a place in the first event of the playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee. In contrast, fellow veteran Bjong Hun an was the only player to drop out of the top 70 this week, missing the cut and falling from number 69 to number 74. However, Kirk’s journey is far from over. The top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings after the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which offers a staggering quadruple points, will advance to the BMW Championship. and importantly qualify for next season’s signature events. Kirk is aware that he needs to perform exceptionally well in Memphis to secure his place and he plans to take some time to rest before heading there on Tuesday evening. Fortunately, he is quite familiar with the TPC Southwind course, the venue for the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and he has a funness for it. Reflecting on his mindset two months ago, Kirk admitted, “I think I knew that nothing was like so far off, but I just felt kind of hopeless. My putting felt terrible, and my swing just felt kind of mediocre.” So, there was a minute there where I was just like, “Man, I played a few events at Oakmont.” Like, do I really want to put myself through that right now with how my game feels? But thankfully, I went and started working with Tim Overton that week on my putting, and it’s really made a big difference. This encapsulates the unpredictable nature of golf. Kirk’s recent performances have been impressive. He finished T12 at the US Open, was a runner up in a playoff at the Rocket Classic, and secured a T14 at the 3M Open just before the Windham Championship with four top 15 finishes in his last six tournaments. He is well positioned to make another leap next week and potentially break into the top 50 after Memphis. Kirk acknowledged the pressure he felt heading into the final round at Sedgefield, and he anticipates even more pressure next weekend. I knew I was in great position to have a good week and move on to next week, but there’s the pressure of that and then also trying to not think forward too much, but try to get yourself in position to possibly make it to the BMW, he explained. I didn’t quite get as many points as I would have liked, but overall I’m very happy with my game. While Kirk was the only player to break into the top 70 at the Windham, the final day of the PGA Tour regular season was filled with its own share of drama. Here’s a brief overview of how the tension unfolded on that Sunday at Sedgefield. Mark Huard, who started the week ranked number one 98 in the FedEx Cup standings, needed at least a team-way tie for second place to qualify for the postseason. After strong opening rounds of 63 and 66, he faced a setback with a third round 73, which meant he needed an exceptional performance on Sunday to have a chance. He rose to the occasion, finding his rhythm and confidence on the greens after dedicating an hour to practice the night before. His efforts culminated in a bogeyfree 7 under 63, matching the lowest round of the day. Despite his impressive finish, Hubard ended up in a two-way tie for third, just one shot shy of the necessary position. He closed with five consecutive pars. three of which were two putts from within 20 ft. After signing his scorecard, he found himself in a precarious position, ultimately being surpassed by M. Mesner, who made a birdie at the par 515th and finished with three straight pars to end at 16 under, one stroke ahead of Hubard. Hubard concluded the week ranked number one. 77 in the FedEx Cup standings, just one birdie away from finishing at number 67. That was the best maybe I’ve ever felt with my tempo, which is something that I struggle with from time to time, he reflected. I don’t know what happened or what I did to make that feel so good. I’m going to think long and hard about it because I want to replicate that as often as I can. I’m just really proud of myself after yesterday. Yesterday sucked real bad and I could have easily thrown in the towel since it didn’t look like it was going to be possible to get into that second place. Right now, I’m just going to go chill and relax and take in what I just did. Although it wasn’t enough to secure a playoff spot, Hubard plans to carry those positive feelings into the FedEx Cup fall and beyond. Mattie Schmid, who entered the week ranked number 70 in the FedEx Cup standings, knew he needed to not only make the cut, but also perform well to solidify his playoff position. He started the final round in a tie for 13th place and was projected to maintain his top 70 status, which would mark his first appearance in the FedEx Cup playoffs. However, the unpredictable nature of the final day took its toll as Schmid struggled early on, playing his first 12 holes in five over and slipping below 50th place on the leaderboard. Despite this setback, the University of Louisville alum rallied with four birdies in his last six holes, including three consecutive birdies to finish T31 for the week, ultimately securing his playoff position. Schmid capped off his round with a dramatic 24 ft birdie putt on the par4 18th hole. He needed to make two birdies in his final three holes to qualify for the playoffs. and he accomplished that feat. I obviously didn’t play too well today. I struggled a bit with my game, but hung in there and putts finally started to drop towards the end, Schmidt said after his round while waiting for confirmation of his playoff status. He took time to interact with fans, even giving his hat to a young supporter and signing a shoe. After the dust settled, he received the good news that he would be heading to Memphis. Davis Thompson, who was also in contention, found himself in a de facto duel with Schmid as the day progressed. Entering the week ranked number 78 in the FedEx Cup standings, Thompson needed a standout performance to advance. He began the final round in seventh place. Projected to move into the top 70 and maintained a playoff position for much of the day. Thompson made a remarkable 48- ft birdie putt at the par five 15th hole, showcasing a rare display of emotion with an enthusiastic high five to his caddy. However, after two pars at numbers 16 and 17, he arrived at the par4 18th hole, needing a par to finish T8 and secure a playoff spot at number eight. 69 in the FedEx Cup standings. Unfortunately, he pushed his T-shot into the right rough and missed a 6-foot par putt, resulting in a bogey that dropped him to T11 and number 71 in the standings. Thompson finished just five points behind Schmid, ultimately becoming the first player out of the FedEx Cup playoffs. He faced the media afterward, candidly expressing his disappointment. It sucks, but it is what it is, he stated. Just got to move on and get ready for the FedEx Cupfall. Patrick Rogers, on the other hand, closed with a five under 65 to finish T15 at the Windom, moving from number 68 to number 63 in the FedEx Cup standings. This achievement was particularly significant for Rogers, who had been struggling with six consecutive missed cuts leading up to this event. He found himself five strokes off the cut line with 15 holes remaining in his second round, but responded with an impressive nine birdies in his last 15 holes, culminating in a seven under 63. He followed that up with a solid final round of 65, which secured his place in Memphis. The mental challenge was considerable for Rogers, who spent part of his week hiking nature trails and visiting college campuses to clear his mind. After signing his scorecard, he expressed gratitude for the support he received during his struggles, particularly from his wife, and reflected on the importance of performing well under pressure. This was a real gut check. Maybe more so than being on the bubble another way, Rogers remarked. Like, I played really crappy golf to get myself on the bubble. So, I needed to generate some momentum from absolutely nothing. When your recent golf that you look back on is just a lot of feeling down and a lot of failures, it’s hard to find that resilience. So, I’m really proud of the fact that I was able to pick myself back up and keep going and have some self-belief. It was really difficult at times, but it’s definitely something I’m going to carry forward into next week. Cam Davis, unlike Rogers, faced a more uncertain situation. After a trippy bogey at the par4 11th hole on Sunday, he managed to recover with three birdies in his final seven holes, finishing with a respectable one over 71, which placed him T44. However, he entered the week at number 67 in the FedEx Cup standings and was not guaranteed safety. Gavis chose not to dwell on the projections as the day progressed, opting instead to drive to Nashville, where his caddy resides, and await the tour’s notification regarding his FedEx Cup position. Ultimately, Davis held on to the number 69 spot in the FedEx Cup standings, securing his ticket to Menus. “I’m not going to ride that emotional roller coaster,” he said after signing his card. I’ve been on the cutline every year I feel like since I’ve been on tour. Whether it’s for the 50 or for this. No, it’s too stressful to keep your eyes on it or try to follow too closely what’s going on. I’m going to get a text message at the end of the day that tells me where I sit. And I’m flying to Nashville tonight and I’m either driving to Memphis from there or I’m flying home. Either way, we’ll find out. I feel tired. I’ve pushed really hard for the last few months and it’s not led to any better golf. I’ve had a couple of little bright moments, but you can probably count on one hand since April. So, I’m almost pretty much ready to put the clubs away for a little bit and just rest my brain and work on that as well because I would say that more than anything else has been the thing that I’ve found the hardest to get on top of. However, he won’t have the luxury of resting just yet as he has the opportunity to play his way into the top 50 at the FedEx St. Jude championship, which would secure him a spot in next year’s signature events. Gary Woodland, who has faced significant challenges in recent years, including brain surgery in the fall of 2023, received the PGA Tour Courage Award earlier this year for his resilience. While the quest for a playoff spot may seem trivial in comparison to his health struggles, he still felt the pressure of the bubble during the week in North Carolina. Woodland entered the tournament ranked number 75 in the FedEx Cup standings and was projected at number 1070 heading into the final round firmly on the playoff bubble. Despite his efforts, Woodland struggled to maintain his energy levels, ultimately finishing with an even par 70 and a T-23 finish, which was not enough to keep his season alive. He concluded the week ranked number 72 in the FedEx Cup standings. However, he remains optimistic about the future. A lot of positives from this season. It stinks to not move on, but I’m excited for some rest. I need it,” he shared. Woodland said afterward, “Rest up. Spend some quality time with the family. Try to get a little healthier and then get ready for the Ryder Cup.” Now, it was a good year in a lot of ways, but I have a long way to go in a lot of ways. The best part is my games in a really good spot and I’m happy with that. As the dust settles on the Windon Championship, the excitement and anticipation for the upcoming FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis continue to build. Who will rise to the occasion and who will falter under pressure? The stage is set for another thrilling chapter in the world of golf.
