In the world of golf, the stanks can change dramatically in a matter of days. And the recent events at the Windham Championship are 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 coveted spot in the top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings, thereby ensuring his participation in the postseason. This remarkable player who had 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 finish at the Windham Championship, he embarked on a 4 and a half hour drive back home to Georgia 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 Winden Championship, where he recorded two birdies and 16 pars during a consistent Sunday at the historic Sedgefield Country Club. This impressive performance 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 fell short, missing the cut and dropping 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 will advance to the BMW Championship, which is crucial for qualifying for next season’s signature events. Kirk is aware that he needs to perform exceptionally well in Memphis to secure his position, 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 fondness 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. Kirk’s recent performance is a testament to the unpredictable nature of golf. 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 Windom Championship. With four top 15 finishes in his last six tournaments, he is well positioned to make another leap in the rankings next week and potentially break into the top 50 after Memphis. Despite the pressure he felt during the final round at Sedgefield, Kirk acknowledged that he will likely face even more 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 98 in the FedEx Cup standings. Needed at least a two-way tie for second place to secure his postseason spot. After strong opening rounds of 63 and 66, he faced a setback with a third round 73, which meant he had to deliver an exceptional performance on Sunday. Hubard found his rhythm and regained his confidence on the greens after a productive hour of practice the night before, resulting in a bogey-free 7 under 63 that matched the lowest round of the day. However, he finished in a two-way tie for third, just one shot shy of the necessary position. Despite having opportunities to secure his spot, he closed with five consecutive pars, three of which were two putts from within 20 feet. After signing his scorecard, he was aware that his position was precarious, ultimately being surpassed by M. Meisner, who made a birdie at the par fiveth and finished 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 Hubard’s efforts fell short, he plans to carry the positive energy into the FedEx Cup fall and beyond. Mattie Schmid, who entered the week ranked number 70 in the FedEx Cup standings, understood that he needed to not only make the cut, but also perform well to solidify his position for the playoffs. He began the final round tied for 13th place and was projected to maintain his top 70 status. But after a rocky start that saw him play his first 12 holes in five over, he found himself slipping down the leaderboard. However, Schmid rallied with four birdies in his last six holes, including three consecutive birdies to finish T31 for the week, ultimately securing his place in the playoffs. He capped off his round with a dramatic 24- ft birdie putt on the par4 18th hole, needing to make two birdies in his final three holes to qualify for the playoffs. And he accomplished just that. 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, Schmid said after his round. “Yeah, just grind it out. I was pretty positive today trying to have a good finish.” “Yeah, maybe with a bit of luck.” While waiting for confirmation of his postseason fate, Schmid took time to engage 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 started the final round in seventh place and was projected to move into the top 70. Thompson made a remarkable 48- ft birdie putt at the par 51 15 pole, showcasing a rare display of emotion with an enthusiastic high five to his caddy. However, after making back-to-back pars at number 16 and 17, he arrived at the par4 18th hole, needing a par to finish T8 and secure a spot in the playoffs at number 69. Unfortunately, he pushed his T-shot into the right rough and missed a six-foot par putt, resulting in a bogey that dropped him to T11 and number 71 in the FedEx Cup standings. Thompson finished just five points behind Schmid, becoming the first player out of the FedEx Cup playoffs. He candidly addressed the media afterwards, stating, “It sucks, but it is what it is. just got to move on and get ready for the FedEx Cup fall. Patrick Rogers, on the other hand, closed with a five under 65 to finish T15 at the Windham, 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 cutline 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 ticket to 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 felt a sense of pride in overcoming the pressure. “This was a real gut check, maybe more so than being on the bubble another way,” he reflected. 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 triple 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. Davis entered the week at number 67 in the FedEx Cup standings and was not guaranteed a safe position. He chose not to follow the projections closely, opting instead to drive to Nashville, where his caddy resides, and await the tour’s notification regarding his FedEx Cup status. Ultimately, Davis held on to the number 69 spot in the FedEx Cup standings, securing his place in Memphis. I’m not going to ride that emotional roller coaster, he stated 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 after the FedEx St. Jude Championship 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 that 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 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. June 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 fall 2023, was awarded the PGA Tour Courage Award earlier this year for his resilience. While the pressure of making the playoffs may seem trivial in comparison to his health struggles, he still felt the weight of the moment throughout the week in North Carolina. Woodland entered the week ranked number 75 in the FedEx Cup standings and was projected at number one, 70 heading into the final round, sitting t9 on the leaderboard and firmly on the bubble. Despite his struggles, Woodland managed to sink a 21 ft birdie putt on the 17th hole at Windham. However, he ultimately finished with an even par 70, resulting in a T-23 finish, which was not enough to keep his season alive as he concluded at number 72 in the FedEx Cup standings. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic. a lot of positives from this season. It stinks to not move on, but I’m excited for some rest. I need it, Woodland said afterward. Rest up, spend some quality time with the family, try to get a little healthier, and then get ready for the RDER 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 gains in a really good spot, and I’m happy with that. As the dust settles on the Windom Championship, the excitement and anticipation for the upcoming FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis are palpable. With players like Chris Kirk, Patrick Rogers, and others making significant strides, the stage is set for an exhilarating postseason. What are your thoughts on the performances of these players?
