This week's Wyndham Championship is the last tournament of the year for players to earn a little more cash, and jump a few more spots in the FedEx Cup point standings, hoping to make their way into the playoffs that kick off next week. Basically, it is the best shot for people that aren't having their best year to do a little more to make sure they aren't left out when the Barclays begins and only the top-125 on the FedEx Cup point list are invited.
On a weather-shortened Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club, a few players did just that. Chez Reavie, who won the Canadian Open last season but has struggled mightily in '09, shot a 6-under 64, his best round of the year, to tie Brandt Snedeker and Ryan Moore atop of the leaderboard. All three leaders have had lackluster years, but Reavie is the one that needs the biggest boost.
This season, the Arizona State alumni has made just 10 of 23 cuts, hasn't had a top-25 since January 18 and is miles away from even thinking about the FedEx Cup, sitting 177th on the list. Snedeker and Moore, 75th and 76th on the FedEx list, are going to make it to the Barclays, but both are still trying to make up for mediocre years.
Ken Duke and Johnson Wagner are two more players trying to make enough scratch for another week of play, firing 4-under 66s. Even John Daly, who withdrew from the PGA Championship last week because of back problems, is in the hunt, opening with a 66, his best round on the PGA Tour since October of '08.
Most of the big names didn't finish their Thursday rounds, because of a four-hour weather delay to start the day. First round play will resume on Friday, at 7:45 AM ET.
