You possibly can name Wesley Bryan the bubble boy – at the least for this week.
Bryan sits No. 125 in FedExCup factors heading into the RSM Basic, which begins Thursday at Sea Island Golf Membership in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The RSM affords gamers one ultimate likelihood to safe their full PGA Tour card for subsequent season, and ending inside that coveted high 125 would do the trick.
Jacob Bridgeman, at No. 109, is the lowest-ranked participant in factors who has mathematically clinched his spot within the high 125, whereas No. 110 Michael Kim is the highest-ranked participant nonetheless with work to do. Kim wants to complete in a two-way tie for fifty fifth or higher to maintain his full card, although that’s contemplating an ideal storm beneath him. Extra realistically, everybody from No. 118 Joe Highsmith on up needs to be feeling fairly comfy.
Bryan would wish to win with a view to assure full standing for subsequent season (after all, he doesn’t need to win to maintain his card; a victory is the minimal wanted with a view to not be affected by others’ outcomes).
Here’s a have a look at the minimal finishes wanted for gamers inside the highest 125 to remain there:
(Notice: Not within the RSM area are No. 112 Ben Silverman, No. 116 Ryan Fox, No. 117 Chris Gotterup and No. 121 Sami Valimaki, although Gotterup is a event winner this season; No. 111 Matt McCarty, who’s taking part in RSM, can also be a event winner this 12 months.)
