Starting a new thread that I hope will be the one and only thread about Men's Golf.

US Amateur starts next Monday. The pinnacle event of the summer amateur season. Two current Stanford golfers have qualified: Michael Thorbjornsen and Karl Vilips. Similar to the Women's Amateur, after two days of stroke play the field is cut to the top 64, after which they play up to six matches in five days, with a 36-hole final.

Congrats to those guys, we should also pay some attention to the FedEx cup as we have 3 guys involved.  McNealy is 31 and Wu and Rodgers are in the 80's as I recall.  

FedEx Cup is a series of three tournaments. Top 125 get into this week's event, Top 70 into next week's event, and Top 30 to the final. Results from each week count toward standings, so Wu (75) and Rodgers (86) have a chance to move up into the Top 70 with good results this week. McNealy (32) should have no trouble making it to next week but will need to play well to crack the top 30 and get into the finals.

Brandon and Patrick both missed the cut in Memphis, so they will not advance past the first round of the playoffs. Maverick will easily qualify for the next round, and at 31, has a chance to play his way to Atlanta for the Tour Championship over the next two tourneys.
