THE FLATS – Chesson Hadley and Richy Werenski enjoyed successful performances last weekend in Bermuda … Will Dickson and Ben Smith fare well on the GPro Tour … Cameron Tringale and HyFlyers team eliminated in LIV Golf finale … More details below in this week’s Georgia Tech #ProJackets Report.
*****
HADLEY, WERENSKI IMPROVE STANDING WITH BERMUDA PERFORMANCE
Chesson Hadley and Richy Werenski each posted important performances for themselves last weekend at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Both players notched their highest finishes of the fall season – Hadley tying for 17th place and Werenski tying for 23rd – and improved their early standing on the FedEx Cup points list.
Hadley shot three rounds in the 60s and finishes at 12-under-par 272, while Werenski was under par all four days and finished at 11-under-par 273. Hadley who finished the 2021-22 season inside the top 125, now stands at No. 84 on the points list, while Werenski, who finished outside the top 125, stands at No. 112.
The PGA Tour, which has three more official events on the fall portion of the schedule, moves to Mexico this weekend for the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba, where Paul Haley II returns to action along with Matt Kuchar and Werenski. Anders Albertson is an alternate as of Monday.

TWO YELLOW JACKETS RETURN TO ACTION ON GPRO TOUR
Will Dickson, a 2021 Tech graduate, and Ben Smith, who graduated last May, put forth solid performances last week on the GPro Tour with the Mimosa Challenge in Morganton, N.C. Dickson, who has won twice on the developmental circuit, tied for 14th place with a 7-under-par score of 203, while Smith notched his highest finish on that tour to date with a tie for 16th place at 6-under-par 204.
*****
OGLETREE BACK IN ACTION ON ASIAN TOUR
Andy Ogletree returns to action for the last two International Series events on the Asian Tour with this weekend’s event in Morocco, which has a $1.5 million purse.
Ogletree, who signed to play the first LIV Golf event in London, has competed in three International Series events, with two remaining, and posted a high finish of a tie for 15th place in Korea.

TRINGALE’S FIRST TOUR WITH LIV GOLF CONCLUDES
Georgia Tech’s Cameron Tringale earned just over $1 million in four LIV Golf events after accumulating a little over $3 million on the PGA Tour in 2022-23. The series finished the season in Miami last weekend at Trump Doral National Golf Club, and Tringale’s HyFlyers team was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
The all-time leader in money earned on tour without a ($17,310,004), Tringale gave up his PGA Tour membership in September after joining LIV Golf. His name no longer appears on the official PGA Tour money list.
