Cam Davis has kept his hope alive of a place in the field for the opening event of the FedEx Cup playoffs following his second round of 67 at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
In 69th position on the FedEx Cup table ahead of this week’s Wyndham Championship, Davis likely needed to at least make the cut and perhaps produce something considerably better if he was to finish inside the top 70 who will advance to next week’s opening playoff event in Memphis.
Not only has he made the cut, but the Sydney golfer is tied for 21st at the halfway mark of the final event of the pre-playoff season, moving him to a projected 67th in the FedEx Cup standings. He needs a continuation of his good play over the weekend but, to date, it is a case of so far so good.
Davis is playing his 20th event of 2023 in which he has accumulated four top tens with a best of 4th coming at the PGA Championship. His 10th-place finish at last week’s 3M Open assisted his cause as he looks to make the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
Adam Scott was on the outside looking in in 82nd position in the standings heading into this week’s event and after his opening round of 65 yesterday he appeared on track to get the job done but today’s round of 71 has seen him in a share of 31st this week and slip back to 81st place in the season-long standings, needing a strong weekend if he is to continue his amazing record of making the playoffs every year since their inception in 2009.
Cameron Percy, Harrison Endycott, and Aaron Baddeley have all missed the cut this week, Baddeley now in 95th place in the standings, Endycott 130th, and Percy 148th.
Their mission is to finish inside the top 125 on the FedEx Cup table at the completion of the Fall Series starting in early September and thus retain full PGA Tour status for next season.
