Overview
- Lower shot 69–68 to finish five under at Sea Island but missed the cut set at seven under by two strokes.
- He entered the week 114th in the FedExCup Fall and is projected around 118–119, short of the new top-100 threshold for a full 2026 card.
- The PGA Tour’s policy shift from top 125 to top 100 for full status compresses opportunities and pushes bubble players into conditional status.
- Visibly emotional, he said he was "pretty pissed off" and dislikes the tour’s direction, while acknowledging a poor season that included shaky putting and a 27-over U.S. Open.
- His near-term path likely runs through PGA Tour Q-School in December, Monday qualifiers or sponsor exemptions, as he noted personal changes ahead with twins on the way.
