SMU PGA golfersModerators: PonyPride, SmooPower Re: SMU PGA golfersIt appears our three primary PGA Tour participants (Smotherman, Higgs, Kraft) will have to figure out alternative routes to maintain or retain their eligibility. The 126-200 in FedEx Cup points group gets a free pass to the Korn Ferry finals (3 events) and can position themselves to gain their Tour cards in that manner. In the meantime, Mustangs are literally everywhere in the world of golf and gaining...former AAC Champ, Mac Meissner, who had a T10 in the last Korn Ferry event, sits at 48 in the KF rankings, with a solid shot at gaining PGA Tour access through the KF finals. Recent grad Noah Goodwin, won $35,000 two weeks ago on the PGA Tour managed Canadian Tour, with a pathway there to the Korn Ferry Tour...Goodwin sits at #6 in those rankings as the top 5 get KF access. Where Bryson lands or how the whole LIV thing unfolds is anybody's guess.

Looks like LIV led to some reforms of the PGA Tour. UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna
Re: SMU PGA golfersHiggs finished near last and Kraft withdrew from the Korn Ferry Championship. That door has closed.

Re: SMU PGA golfersSo the '22-'23 PGA season is underway and last week Austin Smotherman finished minus 7 and T-25th at the Fortinet in Napa, CA earning $55,273. Kelly Kraft also played and missed the cut at plus 2 while Harry Higgs also missed at plus 4.
Austin and Harry will tee it up tomorrow at the Sanderson farms event in Jackson, MS. Purses are up significantly and the Players this year will pay out $25 million to lead the pack as usual. Several other events have $15-$20 million purses
Re: SMU PGA golfersSmotherman's 1st round minus 2 has him T-25th at the Sanderson Farms. Harry was even par today and is T-68th
Re: SMU PGA golfersAustin finishes 36 holes at 4 under after 4 birdies on his back nine today and is currently T-31st and safely under the cut line. Harry finishes plus 3 and misses the cut by 5 shots after 5 bogeys today to offset his 2 birds.
Re: SMU PGA golfersAustin's 3rd consecutive 2 under round has him at minus 6 and T-33rd with several others at 6 under still on the course at the Sanderson Farms Championship
Re: SMU PGA golfersA pair of double bogeys contributed to a closing round plus 3 for Austin who finishes minus 3 for the tournament and ahead of only 6 other golfers who survived the cut but at least he will earn $16,274 for his work this week

Re: SMU PGA golfersSomebody needs to send Smotherman to “Finishing School”…thus far in his career, he is prone to Sunday blow-ups. #NotGood
Re: SMU PGA golfers
That's been the case with all of our guys other than DeChambeau who you don't hear much about anymore since he made the decision to take the guaranteed money and run
Re: SMU PGA golfersBryson finished 2nd today in the Pro Long Driving Championship - impressive. He’s just doing his thing.
Re: SMU PGA golfersAustin Smotherman playing again at the Shriners in Vegas and his 1st round 3 under 68 has him T-38th and 5 shots off the pace as he prepares to play the afternoon round tomorrow
Re: SMU PGA golfersSmotherman's 2 under 2nd round has him at minus 5 and T-38th, safely under the cut line and 7 shots off the lead. Will he have a strong weekend?
Re: SMU PGA golfersSmotherman with 2 bogeys in his 1st 5 holes. Not a good start to his weekend
Re: SMU PGA golfersAustin with birdies at 7 & 9 to make the turn at even for the day and still 5 under for the week but has dropped into a T-57th
