PGA Tour Regular Season Wraps Up; FedEx Cup Field Set

JT Poston played a flawless four days of golf at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, as he went bogey-free for 72 straight holes for the first win of his PGA Tour career at the Wyndham Championship. 

 

Poston posted 51 pars, 20 birdies and an eagle to finish at 22 under.

 

Poston backed up his 30 on the front nine on Sunday with a 32 on the back, finished the tournament No. 1 in strokes gained from tee to green and touched off by far the biggest week of his life.

 

Of the top 10 golfers this season in strokes gained, Webb Simpson is the only one who ranks outside the top 60 off the tee, he's 102nd. From fairway to getting your ball in the hole, you could argue nobody's been better in 2019. This was his second straight runner up and his eighth top-11 finish at the Wyndham Championship in 10 tries. Simpson finished T15 in 2013 at The Northern Trust.

 

Viktor Hovland came up short in his bid to win or finish T2 and earn his PGA Tour card for 2019-20, but it was his best showing yet in a year that has included five top 25s in nine starts. Jordan Spieth has seven top 25s in 18 starts. Hovland again did it with driver as he led the field in driving distance and strokes gained off the tee. He'll head to the Korn Ferry Tour Finals with a ton of momentum and a great chance of finishing in the top 25 over the course of the four playoff events on that tour.
