Keith Mitchell’s heartbreaking playoff miss at Windham Championship final round collapse. In the thrilling world of golf, the Windham Championship unfolded in Greensboro, North Carolina, leaving some players jubilant and others heartbroken. One such tale of disappointment belongs to Keith Mitchell, who saw his playoff dreams crumble in a matter of four fateful holes on a Saturday morning. As the sun set on Friday evening, play was halted due to darkness, leaving Mitchell and other competitors to return to Sedgefield Country Club the next day to conclude their second rounds. Mitchell, ranked number 72 in FedEx Cup points, knew he had work to do if he wanted to secure a spot in the top 70, which would advance to the playoff opener, the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. At four underpar, he seemed poised to at least extend his tournament run by two more rounds. But golf can be a cruel mistress, and Mitchell soon found himself at the receiving end of her whims. Standing on the par 515th hole, facing a daunting 50 ft putt for birdie, Mitchell’s attempt fell short by about 6 f feet. His parsaving putt raced past the hole, followed by a similar fate for his bogey putt. This double bogey dropped him below the cutline. A devastating turn of events. Undeterred, Mitchell rallied on the next two holes, getting himself opportunities for birdie. However, he could only convert one of them, missing a tricky 5-footer at the par 316th before sinking an 11footer at the par 417th.

And this is the part most people miss. Davis commented, “I feel like I’ve done the first thing I need to do this week if I wanted to keep my year going. So, I’m pleased that I’ve got another tea time this afternoon.” He added, “I just I don’t want my season to end this week. It would be nice to see if I can push myself to next week and then see what happens after that. Meanwhile, Gary Woodland and Davis Thompson were projected to move inside the number as of lunchtime on Saturday, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. Other notable players who missed the cut on Saturday included those hovering around the top 50 bubble such as Jake Knap, Bud Collie, Joe Highmith, M. Grayerman, and Stefan Joerger.
