Although Dylan Frittelli climbed 25 places on the FedEx Cup ranking with his share of 20th in the PGA Tour’s FedEx St Jude Championship, his level-par closing round was not enough to get him to the next event of the play-offs.
He reached 82nd in the rankings, and only the top 70 go through to the BMW Championship next week. The top 30 play in the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta which tees off on August 25 at East Lake Golf Club.
Frittelli made two birdies early on in his round, on the second and third holes, but he gave those strokes back with bogeys on eight and nine. His homeward nine also had two birdies – on 10 and 13 – and two dropped shots on 11 and 14. It was a week where he would have preferred his driving to be a lot more accurate, and he hit only 35 percent of the fairways in the final round.
Behind him, Christiaan Bezuidenhout grafted to get things back on track after his poor third round of six-over 76 spoiled his solid start to the week. He carded a closing level-par 70 to finish in a share of 64th, but will go through to the BMW Championship after slipping seven places on the FedEx Cup rankings to 60th.
