Max McGreevy
American golfer Max McGreevy had job security and a berth in the FedEx Cup Playoffs at stake while entering the Wyndham Championship. Ranked No. 126 in the eligibility list, he moved inside the top 125 as he trailed by 10.24 points and would be fully exempt for the 2022-23 season.
Headed for the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis next week, McGreevy, though, didn’t exactly arrive at Sedgefield on a hot streak. The Oklahoma native missed six of his last seven cuts, including the last three consecutively.
“I wasn’t trying to get a certain number of points or finish top‑30 or something like that,” McGreevy explained, as quoted by the PGA Tour website. “I haven’t played good golf in a long time, so I was just trying to play good golf and I thought it could take care of itself. Felt good to put four good rounds together, for sure.”

“Super excited to have got it done”
The Oklahoma State graduate was one of the only two players to move inside the top 125 on Sunday. The other was the winner and South Korean rookie golfer Tom Kim, who came in as a special temporary member but is now fully exempt and clocks in at No. 34 in the eligibility rankings.
“(It’s) huge,” McGreevy said. “Luckily, I’ve actually been able to play that golf course a couple of times before, so it’s even going to give me that much more confidence going into next week.
“Game feels really, really good and I feel like I could have popped off and played better than I did this week. Just super excited to have got it done, but just that hard work I’ve kind of put in these last couple months has actually shown.”
