The Playoffs Are Here

Welcome to The Weekly Slice.

Let’s talk golf.

Tour Roundup

PGA Tour

Lucas Glover clinched his fifth PGA Tour title at the Wyndham Championship on Sunday, securing a spot in the FedExCup Playoffs.

Ending with a score of 20-under 260, he was two shots ahead of Russell Henley and Byeong Hun An from South Korea.

Billy Horschel, once sharing the lead with Glover, settled for fourth place at 16-under.

This win catapulted Glover from 112th to 49th in the FedExCup standings, ensuring his place in the upcoming playoffs in Memphis.

The tour now heads into the end-of-season playoffs, starting with the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Only the top 70 in the points list will be making the trip to TPC Southwind, with those outside the number missing out.

LPGA Tour

It was another good week on the road for Celine Boutier who claimed the Women’s Scottish Open at Dundonald Links.

This marked her second victory in consecutive weeks. The triumphant 29-year-old French golfer led by two strokes, surpassing South Korea’s Kim Hyo-Joo at Dundonald Links, Ayrshire.

Just the previous week, she clinched her first major title at the Evian Championship in France. Boutier’s final round score was a two-under-par 70, culminating in a 15-under 273 for the entire tournament.

Along the way, she recorded four birdies and two bogeys, pocketing £259,000.

The last time consecutive LPGA tournament wins occurred was in 2021 by Jin Young Ko.

This week the LPGA Tour and LET Tour head to Surrey for the AIG Women’s Open.

The course setup at Walton Heath combines holes from both the Old and the New courses and is set to be a great host.

Something Funny

JT gave it his all to try and make the final 70 for this week’s first playoff event, unfortunately coming up just short.

But fair play for his effort on the last. Just watching this shot hurts my back:

Something Interesting

As the PGA Tour heads into the final few events, this stat shows just how difficult it is to win the FedEx Cup from outside the top 3 current rankings:
