Duke Alums on the 2024 PGA and LPGA Tours

With only 1 tournament left, Max has almost guaranteed himself a spot in the playoffs regardless of how today finishes.
Gonna need Vegas to par 18 (should make par on 17). If not, Max should finish no worse than 2nd today and make the playoffs.
 
Our man Max is warming up by playing ping-pong. The announcers haven't seemed to notice that he is playing pong LEFT-handed.
 
If FEDEX projections correct, Max will be 51st with only the Wyndham remaining. Clearly in the playoffs, lots of TV time and he gets to sit down with Amanda. Hope Rory not jealous.
 
Congrats to Max! Too bad he came up a shot short, but that was a heck of a Sunday charge. He is 88 points ahead of #71, so it would take a perfect storm to keep him out of the playoffs. Not gonna happen. And the way he's playing (T31 or better in his last 6 events), the top-50 is certainly within reach.
 
The last tournament of the regular season is sure to be impacted by Debby, She looks to be almost directly over Greensboro on Friday morning, so they might get Thursday in but don't see how they play Friday or Saturday (rainfall potential of 4 - 8 inches). Alex, Max, and Kevin in the field.
 
The current forecast for Greensboro is rain on Thursday and Friday, Saturday may be OK and sunshine on Sunday, when I'm planning to play. Not at Sedgefield, where they're playing the tournament, but at Starmount Forest where I'm a member. There's about 6.5 miles between golf courses.

The reason I'm doubtful they will play Saturday is because most courses can't effectively drain 6-inches that quickly. I wonder if they're pumping down the lakes.

Forecast I’m looking at shows rain ending Friday morning early. If this holds, would think they’d play Saturday with clean and place in effect. Doubt any golf could be played Friday after 5-6 inches of rain Thursday.

So what happens to this tourney, can they at extend through Monday with 36 hole finish?? At lot on the line for Top 70 qualification.

Yesterday NHC had Debby over Greensboro at 8 AM Friday, now it's 2 AM, so the storm will be passing through sooner. However, WeatherUnderground (my go-to site, I'm fed up with weather.com) has the rain ending at 4 PM on Friday. The problem is, you can't trust any of these darn weatherpeople. Plus who knows what the winds and gusts will be like. Surprisingly, they don't have the winds reaching 20 MPH at any time in the hourly forecast, which I find hard to believe given the projected track.

Don't blame the weather people. They are using models that were developed using a century's worth of patterns that no longer apply. Weather prediction is basically a case of "best guess" from here on out unless the climate re-stabilizes.
