Featured Day in the Tournament
Eric Cole, with 10 birdies despite a double bogey, and Garrick Higgo, who has shown a remarkable recovery after an injury, also achieved a score of 65. Both Ryder and Walker are in a crucial position in the FedEx Cup standings, seeking to secure their place among the top 100 to maintain their status on the circuit.Walker, after a streak of missed cuts, managed to recover with two consecutive birdies. Both players emphasize the importance of focusing on their game without obsessing over the results. Michael La Sasso, NCAA champion, suffered a two-stroke penalty for violating the rules of the game. Mac Meissner and defending champion Kevin Yu signed cards of 66 strokes. Yu, after his victory last year, secured his place in the Masters, although the winners of the Fall Series events no longer receive an automatic invitation to Augusta National. Rasmus Hojgaard, fresh from his victory at the Ryder Cup with the European team, completed the day with 69 strokes. Hojgaard, ranked 87th, is now focused on keeping his card.I am very aware of my situation. You know it throughout the year. You receive a message every week that tells you exactly where you are in the FedEx. You can’t hide from that. But it doesn’t dictate my schedule. If I were in a better position, I would still like to think that I would be working hard on my game and trying to win and check other boxes.
Sam Ryder
I still have little energy, so I will manage in the coming days and hope to recover some of it.
