THE FLATS – Matt Kuchar and Kyle Stanley, representing the United States, tied for 16th at the World Cup of Golf in Australia … Three Jackets preparing for final stage of Web.com Tour Q-School next week … This and more in the Georgia Tech #ProJackets Golf Report.
Matt Kuchar, who earned his eighth PGA Tour victory three weeks ago in Mexico, traveled to Australia to play in the Australian Open, where he tied for 23rd, and to represent the United States in the World Cup of Golf. He and playing partner Kyle Stanley tied for 16th place, their bid to give the USA a 25th title in the event derailed by a second-round 79 in poor weather.
No former Yellow Jackets are in the field for this week’s Hero World Challenge, a limited-field, off-season event hosted by Tiger Woods in The Bahamas. The field for the following week’s QBE Shootout, a two-man team event that Kuchar has won twice, has not been announced.
Looking further ahead, Kuchar and his father, Peter, committed to play in the PNC Father-Son Challenge, Dec. 14-16 in Orlando, Fla. Georgia Tech’s two Open champions – Stewart Cink and David Duval – are also in the field, each having won a title in the event’s history. Cink will play with his son Connor, while Duval will compete with his son Brady.
Web.com Tour: Paul Haley, J.T. Griffin and Vincent Whaley are in the finals of the Web.com Tour Q-School, which will take place Dec. 6-9 in Chandler, Ariz. Haley was the medalist at the RTJ Trail Magnolia Course in Mobile, Ala., with a 23-under-par total of 265, while Griffin tied for 12th place there (17-under 271). Whaley tied for sixth place (16-under-par 272) at Southern Hills Plantation in Brooksville, Fla.

A historic result for black. 13 points down entering final frame. You’ll probably read about it in tomorrow’s paper (well, maybe if you subscribe to @vdailysun!) pic.twitter.com/XdTHuQadUh
