HADLEY POSTS TOP-10 FINISH AT TRAVELERS

In need of a high finish to boost his chances of making the 2022 FedEx Cup playoffs and retain his PGA Tour card, Chesson Hadley pulled together rounds of 68-67-67-64 last weekend to finish fifth at the Travelers Championship.

Following birdies on four of his first six holes Sunday, Chesson Hadley (5^th/-14) holed his second shot at the par-4 15^th from 28’ 1” en route to a 6-under 64 in the final round at TPC River Highlands. Hadley began the week with missed cuts in each of five previous Travelers Championship starts.

A 2021 inductee into the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame, Hadley produced his first top-10 finish of 2021-22 and leaped 46 spots to No. 160 in the FedEx Cup points standings. There is more work to do in order to reach the top 125 by the end of the regular season, which includes six more events, including this week’s John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill.

Stewart Cink, a two-time champion at this event, was the only other Yellow Jacket to make the cut, tying for 53^rd place.

Hadley looks to build on the momentum of his Travelers performance this weekend at the John Deere Classic, joining Seth Reeves, Richy Werenski and Vincent Whaley, who all missed the cut last weekend.

JACKETS SHUT OUT ON KORN FERRY, CANADIAN TOURS

Anders Albertson, J.T. Griffin and Chris Petefish all missed the cut last weekend as the Korn Ferry Tour stopped in Maine for the Live and Work in Maine Open.

Albertson remains 13^th in the points standings on the Korn Ferry Tour and in good position to regain his PGA Tour card at the end of the regular season, which has five events remaining.

Paul Haley II took the weekend off after a string of strong performances of late that has him sitting 12^th on the Korn Ferry Tour points list. Haley has six finishes of 11^th or higher in 10 events this season, and inched up to 12^th place on the Korn Ferry Tour points list. He has finished T11, T6, T7 and T11 in his last four tournaments.

Haley returns to action this week at The Ascendant in Colorado along with Albertson and Petefish.
