Appreciate the summary. Well doneIts push comes to shove on the Korn Ferry Tour. Langley, Campbell and Guthrie are so far out of it that nothing but two wins in the last five tournaments can get them into the Top 25. Hardy on the other hand is right in the thick of it. Hardy through extraordinarily consistent play despite not landing a victory over the 2 year season had landed him firmly in the top 25. However he has missed 3 of the last 5 tourneys and in the two he completed he made the cut but was not in contention. He has fallen from a very solid 15 to 19 on the list and this week looked grim. Opening round +1 and two players from outside the top 25 pushing toward the top of the leaderboard put Hardy in more precarious spot than didn't seem possible in June. He responds with a 64 on Friday to make the cut and then a 63 yesterday to vault into the top 10. So, now despite two players jumping from outside the top 25 to above him he is holding his spot at 19th. If he maintains a top 10 he might have done enough to stay through the final 4 weekends, but another strong round today could seal this puppy up and we will have another Illini to follow on the tour next year.
This was not the week for a missed cut but its not all bad. He retained his spot at 20th. They are nipping at his heals now though, and many are lined up behind that if they have a win or top 3 could jump.I think Sunday is the day Nick Hardy gets awarded his PGA Tour card....providing nothing crazy happens in the next 4 days. Hopefully he makes another cut and adds enough points to secure his card. Started the day with 2 early birdies but added 2 bogies so far on his 2nd nine to drop back to par.

Only his second missed cut in a year and I think if he makes the remain 3 cuts he should hold them off. However, Uihlein just dropped 3 spots from 25th to 28th, so it can happen. Also, Skinns jumped 24 spots with the win. 3 tournaments to go and it's all to play for. I have to think this wrist injury has thrown a wrench into the plans and I just hope he has enough to see this through.
Oooh, thats great, and obviously I didn't know that. awesome, I was getting nervous.Meet the 25 players who earned PGA TOUR cards through the Korn Ferry Tour regular season

Then do some current PGA card holders lose theirs??? Like the soccer leagues move teams up and down...
I hope it's coffee they were drinking at that hour...I've started early but 6am is pushing it!Was awesome to wake up at 6 this morning when it's still pitch black in Wisconsin and stands were already packed on first tee with fans singing and drinking and going nuts.

For Steve Stricker, The 2021 Ryder Cup Is A Childhood Dream Fulfilled
Growing up in Wisconsin, Steve Stricker could only dream of leading the U.S. team in a Ryder Cup played in his own home state. The dream came true Friday morning when the 43rd edition of the international event got underway at Whistling Straits.www.forbes.com
At least he turned a poor day into a decent day at the end. He was +2 after 13 holes(one of the 6 worst scores up to that point), but finished with an eagle and birdie near the end. Nearly made a hole in one on the short par four....stuck tee shot 3 feet from the pin! Keep making cuts Nick. Moved up to 31st in FedEx Cup.Not a great day for Hardy at the Sanderson Farms, shot -1 and ended up in a tie for 26th. Looks like about a 55k payday, well done rookie.
Agreed, 2 starts 2 cuts, decent finishes. This is the way to a long career.At least he turned a poor day into a decent day at the end.

On 18, Pieters is in first @ -19, two strokes ahead of second place golfer. Pieters‘ drive went in the trap. Here’s hoping he can close it out. It’s on the Golf Channel.Pieters tied for the lead heading in to the final round in Portugal. lets see if he can keep the big numbers off the board. Making a ton of birdies as usual.
