One of the biggest movers last Sunday was Stuart Appleby who moved up 79 spots to no. 19 almost guaranteeing himself to play in the year ending tour Championship in September.
But we have to feel bad for Troy Merritt who made a good run on Sunday and moved up 10 spots with a 70 ( 1 under par ) on Day 4. But Merritt fell 1 standing short of gaining exemption into stage 2 of the playoffs in Boston at no. 101. Merritt flew home Monday morning disappointed after needing par on hole 18 to get in at no. 97 he 3 - putted for bogey to slip out of that position giving Geoff Ogilvy a chance to tee it up this week in Boston. Ogilvy missed the cut on Friday with two disappointing rounds of 73 and 76. Ogilvy then flew back home and watched the players who made the cut and followed his standing. The former US Open Champion said that he feels confident he can push the envelope to the Tour Championship late this September in Atlanta after making more than $600,000 in his last four starts just to have a chance.
Although it was Hunter Mahan who surprised plenty on Day 4 with a 6 under bar 65. After coming off a somewhat lackluster season Mahan made more money this Sunday then he had earned through the first 8 months of the season ( Mahan earned $1,440,000 this Sunday moving him up to no. 1 in the FedexCup Standings ).
