The greens at The Barclay's over the weekend hardened and sped up and scores, especially those later in the day, went up. Michael Thompson had a difficult time on the greens int he third and fourth round and eventually finished in a tie for 63rd. He dropped from 66th on the Fedexcup Points List to number 82 but, more importantly, being inside the top 100 gets him into next week's Deutschebank Championship. This will mark the first time Michael will play at the Deutschebank.
PGATour.com has a nice playoff tracker page that shows the entire field eligible for next week's Deutschebank Championship and the movement within the Fedexcup Points List over each of the playoff events. You can find it here: Playoffs Tracker.
Since each playoff event is worth 5 times a regular season event, there is quite a bit of volatility in the standings after each playoff event. After next week's second round, the third round will be limited to the top 70 players on the points list. In order to advance, Michael will need a top 50 finish (or thereabouts).
