Paul Barjon loses his playing rights, Martin Trainer in great danger

Eliminated by the cut of the RSM Classic, the last tournament of the FedEx Cup season, Paul Barjon lost his PGA Tour card. His compatriot Martin Trainer narrowly qualifies for the weekend and will have to pull out all the stops to grab at least one partial category. The American Patrick Fishburn takes the lead in this last FedEx Cup Fall tournament after two rounds.

The two Frenchmen fighting in this FedEx Cup Fall were in difficulty before the last tournament of the season. They are still virtually out of the top 150 after 36 holes. For Paul Barjonthe ax has even definitively fallen on this year 2024. The Bordeaux player should finish around 180th place at the FedEx Cup with this missed cut at the RSM Classic after a card of 78, while only the top 125 retain their full playing rights and that those following up to 150 place obtain partial playing rights.

Martin Trainer was 157th Thursday morning. His final birdie on his 34th hole of the week allows him to make the cut at the last minute (-1) and to be able to continue to believe in it. It will certainly be necessary to have at least a top 20 for a partial right to play and a podium to enter the final top 125. Released by the cut on Friday evening, the native of Marseille has the potential to have a nice surprise in store for us on Sunday!

Berger and Aberg relaunch

Far ahead, the American Patrick Fishburn is alone in the lead at -11 with his card of 64 on the Plantation Course course. His compatriot Lee Hodges is one move away with the card of the day (63), alongside Maverick McNealy. The three men on the podium are fighting for the title, but also to enter the top 60 of the FedEx Cup which would allow them to play the first two signature tournaments of 2025. The Belgian Adrien Dumont de Chassart remains in the top 10 despite a shy card of 70. Currently fifth and assured of the final top 150 of the FedEx Cup, he needs a podium to snatch the top 125.

Finally, the 31-year-old four-time PGA Tour winner Daniel Berger (winner of the 2021 Ryder Cup) flirts with the top 125 which he enters for the moment virtually with his 17th place on the island of Saint Simon, alongside the returning Ludvig Abergfifth player in the world.
