Steve S. played in all weekend events thus far. In those 2nd in Rotation, 2nd in Fourball and won the Senior Club Championship Net.
Howard has played in 6 of 8 tournament. Taken first in 2-Person Scramble, Presidents Cup and Club Championship.
Matthew played in all weekend events thus far. Won the Greek Scramble, 3rd Rotation, 4th in 2-Person Scramble, 4 in Club Championship and 2nd in Presidents Cup.
That is a lot of consistent play between four players! Good luck in the rotation!
How does it work if guys have enough cup points to qualify for the shootout but are also in the top 12 for Wednesday night individual points? Do they take up both spots or are they removed from one list so that another player can move up into their qualified spot?
Great question. We remove from the list where they are lower positioned. For example, if they were #4 in WNL and #12 in Weekend. We would move down the list on the Weekend Tournament side. If they happened to be both #4 in WNL and Weekend. We flip and coin and move down – this is super rare.
