One Last Shot at the FedexCupPlayoffs

by Roz Roberts III

This is it.  The last PGA tournament of the year before the FedexCup playoffs begin.  Today in North Carolina, the PGA Tour holds its last regular event of the year at the Wyndham Championship.  After this event, the top 125 on the FedexCup points list will get into the playoffs.

Currently, Michael Thompson sits 145th on that list and in order to guarantee a spot in the playoffs Michael needs to finish 5th or better.  There are other scenarios for him to get in but he'll need a solid top 10 at minimum.

Michael is playing with D.A. Points and K.J. Choi.  They tee off for round 1 at 12:40pm ET.
