PGA TOUR - Signature Event (1) In Pennsylvania . . . Jacob may not have won this event, but the Paycheck won’t soon be forgotten . . . His 3-way T-4th Place earned him $826,666.00!!! Lucas’ efforts (2-way T-66th Place) earned him $39,750.00
LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR (2) In Korea . . . Alice shot +1 in her final, ending her efforts in a T-33rd Place and earned her $11,115.54
PGA TOUR - Opposite Field Event (3) In Myrtle Beach, SC . . . Carson faltered a bit today, sliding to a T-13th Place after shooting +2 today. Earnings = $69,571.43 Kudos to Jackson Byrd making the Cut and finishing T-54th Place.
Thanks for the entertainment TIGERS!!!

Thanks as always skeeta56!!! What an enjoyable and bittersweet weekend of golf. Obviously I'm over the moon with Jacob's showing. He's done everything but win. Up to 21 in FedEx. That 300 points really vaulted him. Excited to see him in Charlotte.
At the same time, I still got the sads over Carson. I kept thinking, he can make a couple birdies on the back with the par 5's etc. Just shooting even par would have given him enough points to climb inside the top 100 in points. Two golden opportunities to make big gains. This tournament And the blown opportunity in New Orleans with Akshay.
On to the next!!!!
I'm a bit surprised that Annabelle hasn't taken off on the Epson tour.

I am sure Carson is disappointed in his performance, since just about everyone else toward the top of the leaderboard was under par. It is a learning experience that hopefully will help him win in the future. Jacob played well and looking at the tour statistics, he is above the tour average in just about every category. Suprisingly, so is Ben Martin, but Ben doesn't seem to be getting much out of it so far. I would like to see him pick it up in the coming weeks and months.

Was pulling hard for him and was shocked that Carson did not go for the green in 2 on the par 5 on the back 9. The announcers didn't even realize that he was laying up although he had an iron in his hand. Both his playing companions did and made birdie even though they missed the green. Absolutely a timid decision that cost him any chance to win the tournament especially after his awful 3rd shot.
A friend volunteered at the tournament and met Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell.

Carson could not have reached the green in two. Both of his playing partners were driving about 20 yards past Carson. He made a lot of crucial mistakes, but laying up on Par 5's, I don't think, was the problem. I suspect that his nerves were a little too much and he will learn to control them better the more he gets in contention. It is still a learning experience for him.

Absolutely 100% agree. Thinking back, I can't remember him leading the final round. But he had a couple chances on the front. Beautiful approach on 3 but couldn't drop the birdie from 10ft. Had a 200 yard approach shot on the par 5 4th that he duck hooked 30 yards left and had to scramble for a par.
Just feel like if a couple putts had dropped on the front, would have relaxed him.
Agree with Ben. I believe @schema said he just has a few more medical starts left so maybe he's being selective. Both need to rack up some points for real. Pulling for a good summer for all of them.
