Kevin Streelman with a solid 1st round at the Valero Open. He shot a -1 (71) and is currently T15.
In the Korn Ferry Astara Chile Classic Max Greyserman is in first place with an opening 64. Ryan Blaum is T38 with a 69.
Streelman shoots Even Par in Round 2 to remain -1 for the tournament. He is above the current projected cutline (E) and will play the weekend although lots of golfers still on the course finishing up their second 18.
Smalley (+3) and Long (+7) will not make the cut.
Saturday tee times TBD.
Streels had to sleep on a 50' sand shot on 15. Got up this AM; knocked it to 4'3" and made par.
Semi-serious question, not trying to throw shade ... is one "above" or "below" the cut if one makes it to the weekend? I can see it making sense either way.Quote:

Well, The Masters takes over this week and no Duke alums are in action, alas....
All three of our guys are playing Harbour Town this week. Noon or later tee times on Thursday for each.
Bad luck on the draw. Showers to start around 2 on Thursday. Though a lot of weather can change in 48 hours.Quote:

All of our guys are going to lose their cards this year under the restructuring. I read in my local paper that only the top-70 make the playoffs and get cards. The fall schedule is now for 71-125 to keep their cards, the season really starts in January. I had not read that before and don't believe I've seen it discussed on the board.
Kevin and Adam (projected #128 and #134 after this weekend) are definitely out. Even a couple of top-10s will not be enough.
Alex is probably out. He's missed half his cuts since the turn of the calendar and finishes of T22, T27, T37, T65, and T65 have dropped him from FedEx #22 to projected #65. Not a good trend. Dang it, the season started out so promising!
None of them are playing next week. So they've got about 3 months to do something and will not be playing in the U.S. or British Opens. In addition, I think Alex will be the only one to qualify for The Memorial.
This thread won't be near as much fun next year (not that it has been for the last few months anyway). :(
But just to cheer up DUdog and all Duke fans momentarily, Adam Long is at -5 for the day thru 17 holes. Puts him in the top 20 as of now.
Not so fast there -- a double bogey on 18 puts Adam at -5 for the tournament, -3 for today.Quote:

Streelman shoots +3 (74) to drop to Even Par for the tournament. He is currently T65 moving the wrong way on Moving Day.
