After coming close to victory on the PGA Tour a couple of times apiece, Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak used their collective talents to finally break through, winning a nail-biter at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
For Novak and Griffin, the win was their first on the PGA Tour, gratifying for both but especially for Novak, who lost last week to Justin Thomas in a playoff.
Andrew Novak agrees with Charley Hoffman’s assertion about the PGA Tour’s AON Swing 5 pathway, even though the system benefited him at Pebble Beach last week.
Campos had missed the cut in 13 of his past 14 starts and stood 147th in the FedEx Cup points standings, well outside the top 125 cut-off for retaining his exempt status.
With the advent of the FedExCup Fall, the end of the PGA Tour regular season has moved from August to November, and the drama of players fighting for PGA Tour cards in the grand finale has been transferred from the Wyndham Championship to this week’s RSM Classic.
