I had heard last year it was 750k to break into the top 125 - so he would be pretty close to that after this weekend I would think.

current # 125 has already earned over $600k whereas Bryson has earned $445k and has limited opportunities. He might have to win an event to crack the top 125 by season's end, or at least have a top 2 or 3 finish. May have to earn a spot at Q school or via Web.com tour as Colt did. No substitute for experience

His best finishes have come when he has a long time to study and prepare. That's not a luxury you get as a rookie and why doing what Jordan did is nearly impossible.

He is at or very near the level of temporary card - which will mean unlimited exemptions for the rest of the year. If he gets that I think he will get his card this year pretty easily.

Unlimited exemptions still makes it tough to play in a lot of tournaments. Ask Kelly. But still...you can do it!

he needs to make the cut in Maryland this week and earn another check

at one under thru 36 holes, he should be O.K. for weekend play

He's right below the cut line projected at even and he's one under.

Great. He was 1 over on the back nine last I had checked. Big deal if he is able to make the cut. He was 3 or 4 over at one point.

Bryson made the cut. T-47 heading into the weekend.

still at minus one thru 8 holes of 3rd round. There's a reason they call Saturday "moving day". Bryson needs to make some birdies and move up that leaderboard if he wants to make a decent check this week. Currently at T-59 which would at least mean he plays Sunday

4 over today through 15 holes to fall to plus 3 for the tourney and sinking fast on the leaderboard. Oh well, at least he made the cut and will earn a check.

Bryson back in action this week at The Travelers (along with Colt & Kelly) and fires a 2 over 72 opening round. Will need to go low tomorrow to have any chance of making the cut here.

Bryson is even par at the Travelers today and still plus 2 for the tourney at the turn. Had to go 3 under on back side to make the cut

Hell of a finish for Bryson to clear the cut with a little to spare.
