Duke Alums on the 2024 PGA and LPGA Tours
- Thread starter dudog84
- Start date
I don't know about that. There were 3 PGA winners 2 shots behind him, I expected at least 1 of them to put some pressure on him and none came close even though McCarty was only -1 on his round through 13 holes. There were a couple of -9s yesterday so the course was gettable. All props to McCarty, he got the job done, and his eagle on the par-4 was a dagger. If Kevin had shot -6 he would have forced a playoff.I feel like you aren’t nailing this one right now
Most importantly, Kevin has now given himself a real shot at keeping his card. He moved up 39 spots and is 68 points behind #125. It's too bad Jaeger was in the field, he sucked up those 300 2nd-place points but can't use them. Kevin could have gotten about 80 more points (T2 vs. T3).
Though Alex dropped a spot, more importantly he padded his cushion on #126 to 60 points (it was about 40) This is great news, it's been a struggle and he was outside the cut most of the year.
They're both playing well, I'd say Alex has over 90% chance of keeping his card, and Kevin has raised his chances from less than 5% to 50-50. Five tournaments left, 3 of which are outside the country. Keep grinding!
Here's a nice little article focusing on Kevin:

That’s a great story. Thanks for linking to it. Carving out a career in professional golf is not the easiest way to make a living that’s for sure.I don't know about that.

Alex finishes -2 and currently T35. Unfortunately this is another course playing very easy, he was one of the first ones out so 50% of the field has just started and 80-90% of the morning is still out. Looking at a cut of around -5 or -6 so he has work to do tomorrow. He really didn't make any putts, his few birdies were tap-ins. If he makes some putts tomorrow, he'll play the weekend.
And then immediately bogeys #2
My unscientific projection puts the cut line at -4 to -5 so Alex needs to do as well or better today.
30 MPH winds in Vegas. Yeesh. Round delayed, Kevin will probably finish, Alex will definitely not and may not even start.
Streelman certainly hopes so as he is +3 thru 10 and down to -1. I think he is toast…
Scores are higher due to wind, but not so much higher that Kevin makes the cut. He’s +4 on 5he day and needs to birdie last 3 to stand a chance.

On the women’s side Celine Boutier finished 2nd, one stroke back. $201,719 payday and seems to be heating up.
