Status update on Patrick Rodgers' professional career - CornFed - 09-21-2014
Patrick Rodgers entered the last tournament of the year on the Web.com tour in 50th place, the last position to attain status on the PGA for 2014-15. After three rounds of play he is currently projected at 58th, so he needs a pretty strong finishing round in order to get his card. Broadcast is on the Golf Channel as I type for any of you who might want to check it out.

Rodgers did not make the cut. He is done for the year. He will play on the web.com tour next year (along with occasional PGA tournaments via a sponsor's exemption).
Look for Rodgers on the "big tour" in 2016. He is a real talent.Â

Oh shoot! I had thought the fact that they were projecting him implied that he'd made the cut. I agree with you about his prospects for next year. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if he earned promotion from Web.com next year early by winning three tournaments.

The Cardinal played their most recent tournament without the defending NCAA champion (Cameron Wilson), the college Player of the Year (Rodgers), and the third-place finisher in the NCAA championship (David Boote, playing for this Welsh team in an international event in Japan), and still won decisively.
McNeally, who has won both events in which we've played this year, is quite a story, and Jim Liu seems to be coming into the form fans might expect of one of the world's top five junior players. Didn't everyone assume he'd be only the third-best player in his incoming class?
If the three sophomores McNeally, Liu, and Badhwar) stay strong and a solid fifth man emerges (looks like Patrick Grimes unless Franklin Huang breaks out), this team might avenge last year's somewhat arbitrary faliure to win the national championship. (Grumbling about using team match play to decide the champion goes here.)

I agree with you Hulk re: the arbitrary nature of the NCAA tourney. UC easily had the best team the previous year (they won 11 tournaments in a row tying the NCAA record) and was upset in the semi's. The current arrangement does not identify the best team over the long haul, it identifies the team that got lucky on a given day.Â
Oh well, Homa is on the big tour next year and Hagy and Kim are on the web.com. Given they all graduated from Haas, they represent the best in collegiate athletics - talented and academically oriented.Â
