Jason Day, Adam Scott and Cam Davis are the three Australians to advance to the second FedEx Cup Playoff event, the BMW Championship in Colorado next week following the completion of the FedEx Cup St Jude Championship in Memphis this morning.
The leading 50 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings now graduate to the penultimate FedEx Cup Playoff starting on Thursday (22nd August).
Scott finished 18th and the leading Australian along with Min Woo Lee at the FedEx St Jude and is now in 41st position in the FedEx Cup standings, Day was 22nd this week and is in 25th overall and Davis was 40th and has just crept into the top 50 in 49th place.
A double bogey at the last hole by Davis so nearly cost him the chance of heading to Colorado but a series of mishaps by others late in their rounds saw him make it through.
The goal for all three now, is to move into the top 30 at the completion of the BMW Championship and advance to the Tour Championship in Atlanta the following week.
Australia’s fourth player in Memphis, Min Woo Lee, finished 22nd this week but starting the week in 62nd place in the standings he needed something special to improve enough to make it to his first BMW Championship and although his final round of 66 made a big move for him, it was not enough.
As the PGA Tour heads to Castle Rock in Colorado, Scottie Scheffler still leads the FedEx Cup standings ahead of Xander Schauffele with this week’s winner in Memphis, Hideki Matsuyama, now in third place.
