After a missed cut at Congressional CC, Streb finished -3 T41 at this past weeks Greenbrier Classic, banking a cool $20k. He sits at 131st on the FedexCup points list. (The top 125 on the list retain their PGA Tour cards for the 2014 season.) Streb is only 20 points behind the 125th place player, with plenty of time left to make it. Streb will be playing in this week's John Deere Classic in Silvis, IL
Watkins has missed his past two cuts at Congressional and The Greenbrier but will be looking to rebound this week as he is also in the field at TPC Deere Run. Sitting at 169th on the FedexCup money list, and 161 points behind Streb, he's going to need a solid finish to the season to make the 125.
I have a feeling one of these guys is going to have a solid finish this week at the John Deere.
In other news, local legend Tom Watson finished one stroke better than Streb at -4 and T38 at The Greenbrier. Mr. Watson (the 2014 Ryder Cup Captain) will be playing this week in Omaha, NE at the Senior US Open Championship.
Watson is also coming off a victory in the Watson Challenge that was held at The National GC in Parkville. After losing the trophy last year to the former Kansas State golfer and current pro on the NGA Tour, Joseph Ida, Watson won back the cup and was crowned the Kansas City area's best golfer 2013.
