Max McGrevy’s runner-up finish at the RSM Classic propels him into the AON Next 10, securing his spot in the top 60 of the FedEx Cup in the first two signature events of 2026, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro AAM and the Genesis Invitational. McGrevy’s 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th green at Sea Island Seaside Course was a pivotal moment, but it wasn’t enough to dethrone Sammy Valamaki, Finland’s first PGA Tour winner. Despite Valamaki’s victory, McGrevy’s second place finish was a significant achievement, boosting his ranking from 89 to 60 in the FedEx Cup. The AON Next 10 standings at the end of the 2025 FedEx Cup fall saw McGrevy’s rise alongside other contenders. Colombia’s Niko Echavaria, who started the day five shots behind the lead, made a remarkable comeback with three straight birdies on numbers 12 to 14, securing his spot in the top 60 and finishing T4. The competition was fierce with Jordan Speath, Jake Knap, and Kevin U missing out due to their absence from the RSM Classic. Stanford alumni Patrick Rogers and Michael Thorbhornson, who were in the running heading into the final round, faced setbacks with back nine bogeies, ultimately ending their week at number 62 and number 70, respectively. McGrevy’s belief in his abilities, as expressed after the final round, highlights the transformative power of confidence in a high pressure environment like the PGA Tour. His performance not only showcases his skill but also underscores the importance of mental fortitude in golf.
