THE FLATS – Seth Reeves gets back above the cutline for solid finish at Pebble Beach … Stewart Cink, Chesson Hadley and Matt Kuchar head to Arizona for Phoenix Open … J.T. Griffin and Paul Haley II venture to Colombia for Korn Ferry event … More details below in this week’s Georgia Tech #ProJackets Report.
*****
REEVES ONLY JACKET TO SURVIVE PEBBLE BEACH CUT
Looking to make his second go at the PGA Tour stick, Seth Reeves got back above the cut line for the first time since October with a tie for 33rd place last weekend at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Duluth, Ga., resident shot rounds of 71-70-68-71 for a 7-under-par total of 280, the only Yellow Jacket to make the cut last weekend.
Reeves sits at No. 122 in the FedEx Cup points standings, having made three cuts in nine events so far in the 2021-22 season. His high finish was a tie for eighth at the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Six other Jackets competed at Pebble Beach, Stewart Cink, Chesson Hadley, Matt Kuchar, Cameron Tringale, Richy Werenski and Vincent Whaley. Only Cink, Hadley and Kuchar are currently in the field for this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Ariz., while Whaley waits for a spot as an alternate.

KORN FERRY TOUR RESUMES IN COLOMBIA
The Korn Ferry Tour moves to South America this week, with J.T. Griffin and Paul Haley II in the field for the Astara Golf Championship in Bogota, Colombia. Griffin competed last week in the Panama Championship and missed the cut in his first start of the season. Haley went 1-for-2 in the two events in the Bahamas, finishing second at the Great Exumas Classic and missing the cut at the Great Abaco Classic. He did not compete in Panama.

DUVAL COMMITS TO CHUBB CLASSIC
A 58 and a 59 will make their PGA Tour Champions debut in Naples this year.
No those aren’t the ages for David Duval and Jim Furyk. They’ve each shot that score on the PGA Tour.
Duval plans to make his transition from TV fully on the PGA Tour Champions this year.
So that will include the 35th annual Chubb Classic presented by SERVPRO coming up Feb. 18-20 at Tiburón Golf Club at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, the tournament announced Monday.
Duval, a former world No. 1, made his Champions debut in the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai in Hawaii last month, and tied for 34th. He turned 50 on Nov. 9.
Duval won 13 PGA Tour events, all from 1997 to 2001, including the 1999 Players, the 1997 Tour Championship, and the 2001 British Open. He became the first player to shoot 59 in the final round of a tournament to win in 1999 at the now-American Express.
