@GT_GOLF - #ProJackets Update

Sept. 8, 2015

THE FLATS – Three Georgia Tech alumni — Matt Kuchar, Cameron Tringale and Bryce Molder — have advanced to next week’s BMW Championship, the third stage of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, in Lake Forest, Ill.

Kuchar, bidding to advance all the way to the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta, made a significant move in securing that spot by tying for ninth place at 7-under-par 277 in last weekend’s Deutsche Bank Championship, including a third-round 65. The 2000 Tech graduate had reached 10-under-par and tied for third place during his final round Monday before settling back, but he enters the third stage ranked 20th in FedEx Cup points. The top 30 after the BMW will advance to the finale at East Lake Golf Club.

Tringale played the 72 holes even-par to tie for 44th place, and stands 55th in points headed to the BMW, while Molder managed to remain inside the top 70 (69th) despite missing the cut at the Deutsche Bank. Chesson Hadley’s 2014-15 season came to an end after he closed with an 80 Monday.

Web.com TourRoberto Castro begins his quest to regain PGA Tour status with the first of four events in the Web.com Tour Finals, which starts this weekend in Fort Wayne, Ind., with the Hotel Fitness Championship. The top 75 money earners from this year’s Web.com Tour join with the No. 126-200 earners from the PGA Tour for four events, after which the top 50 in earnings from the four events will gain PGA Tour status. The top 25 in regular-season earnings have already qualified for their 2015-16 cards.

Meanwhile, another group of Yellow Jackets are in pre-qualifying stages for the Web.com Tour Q-School. Drew Czuchry (T3) and Bo Andrews (8th) advanced out of the pre-qualifying event last week in St. Augustine, Fla. Czuchry shot 10-under-par 206, while Andrews posted a 7-under-par total of 209, each grabbing one of 38 spots available to move on to the first stage of Web.com Q-School. Anders Albertson, who has also played in SwingThought.com Tour events since June, is in the field for the pre-qualifying event that begins Wednesday in Brunswick, Ga.

Several other Tech alumni will be in first-stage qualifying events which take place Oct. 6-9 at four different sites, including John-Tyler Griffin, Seth Reeves, Kyle Scott and James White, who have played this summer mostly in eGolf and SwingThought.com events. Troy Matteson, Matt Weibring and Richard Werenski, who had full Web.com Tour status this year but did not qualify for the finals, will begin Q-School either in the first or second stage.
