Max McGrevy with a remarkable 30-foot birdie part on the 18th hole secured his place in the AON Next 10 and earned a ticket to the prestigious AT&T Pebble Beach Pro and the Genesis Invitational. But here’s where it gets controversial. McGrevy’s runner-up finish bumped him up to 60th in the FedEx Cup, snatching the final spot in the AON Next 10. This move pushed out some big names, including Jordan Spith and Jake Knap, who chose not to compete in the RSM Classic. McGrevy’s post round comments reveal a newfound belief in his abilities.
