from Today in Golf
On Saturday's Moving Day at the Wyndham Championship, FedEx Cup bubble pressure reached a boiling point as Michael Brennan and Beau Hossler grabbed the lead amidst a chaotic round of albatrosses, equipment failures, and playoff heartbreak.THE FEDEX CUP BUBBLE & 54-HOLE LEADERSCo-leaders Michael Brennan and Beau Hossler are feeling the heat at Sedgefield. Brennan is relying on a recent swing overhaul and micro-goals, while Hossler desperately looks to snap a 251-start winless streak and jump from 122nd."Not going to talk about it just going to play golf but yes of course I want to win," Hossler said, deflecting the mounting pressure.Alex Noren credited his success on Sedgefield's firm greens to practicing on 13-stimpmeter greens back in Sweden—and luckily beating the weather horn by exactly one second!MOVING DAY CHAOS & HIGHLIGHTSMoving Day brought absolute chaos, from Davis Thompson’s stunning albatross on the 5th hole to Sahith Theegala’s 180mph drive on the 18th that violently ricocheted off a tree and traveled a mere 116 yards.Jordan Smith nailed a million-point hole-in-one on the 16th, prompting broadcast jokes about an "expensive bar tab" and Andy Sullivan taking a trip to space.Thompson had to navigate a bizarre ruling with Rich Beem after cracking his driver on the 14th, while Tom Kim’s perfectionism was on full display when he dropped his club in frustration on 17.EQUIPMENT OVERHAULS & PLAYOFF HEARTBREAKDesperation led to major bag changes that backfired. Brooks Koepka killed his playoff hopes with a 74 despite a putter switch, and Jason Day missed the cut following a massive overhaul to new Callaway gear.Day's struggles prompted a scathing tweet from Ben Coley, calling him a "generous Presidents Cup wild card."Brian Harman provided some comic relief, sharing his "survival list" for his 10-year-old daughter's future boyfriends, noting that if a boy "cannot spiral a football back to me we got problems."Quick HitsHideki Matsuyama's "filthy" flop shot on the 1st and chip-in on the 9th • Alex Smalley utilizing local knowledge from Greensboro Country Club • Jackson Koivun discussing his top-70 defensive strategy with Amanda Balionis Hosted on Acast.
