FedExCup player notes: EDS Byron Nelson Championship final round

text size

Player:Adam Scott
Points: 1,585
Rank: 92nd
Currently 92nd on the points list, a win would vault Adam Scott straight up to 12th on the FedExCup points list. Last year at this point, Scott ranked 8th on TOUR with 7,596 points, so a win this week would put him back on pace with last year's results.

Player: Bart Bryant
Points: 4,371
Rank: 27th
Bart Bryant is currently the lowest-ranked player (at 27th on the points list) of all of the players in the final three groups. Before missing the cut at last week's Verizon Heritage, Bryant carded four-straight top 25s, including a runner-up finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. If Bryant can close the three-stroke deficit on Scott and seal the deal today, he'll move inside the top 10 on the points list.

Player: Kevin Sutherland
Points: 2,942
Rank: 43rd
Look for a strong finish from Sutherland today as he's coming off a tie for eighth at the Shell Houston Open (the week marks his sixth consecutive cut made). A win this week would move Kevin inside the top 15 on the points list (at least a 28-spot improvement).

Player: Charley Hoffman
Points: 1,917
Rank: 75th
Hoffman is currently projected to move to 37th assuming he finishes tied for second this week. The only way Hoffman can currently move inside the top 30 would be to win today. Hoffman is looking to continue his strong play this week after his tie for sixth at the Shell Houston Open. It appears as though Hoffman found something in his game in Houston because prior to that event, he missed seven consecutive cuts.

Player: Ryan Moore
Points: 1,028
Rank: 116th
Currently 116th on the points list this year, Moore is looking for his second top-10 finish of the season (he tied for fifth at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic). If Moore can close the week with a top-five finish, he'll move up at least 30 spots from 116th to 86th on the points list. If he maintains his current tie for second position through the event, he'll move up inside the top 60 on the points list to 59th.

Player: Sergio Garcia
Points: 960
Rank:118th
Garcia is looking to jump start his '08 season with a strong finish this week. If he maintains his tie for sixth position through today, he'll move up to 85th on the points list. This would be Sergio's first top-10 finish of the season.

Player: Dudley Hart
Points: 2,222
Rank: 65th
Hart is currently projected to move from 65th to 46th on the points list if he maintains his tie for sixth position through the end of the day. If he can pull out a win today, he'll move inside the top 30 (moving up at least 35 spots).
