Denny Hamlin Seems To Always Contend At Michigan

Then, he led 22 […]

Some had wondered about Ross Chastain. The Trackhouse Racing driver has struggled in recent weeks. Aside from Nashville, Chastain tended to qualify and place outside the top ten.

Garrick Higgo Close To The Playoff Line

Garrick Higgo comes in 72nd with FedEx Cup Points. The young South African golfer just has to finish above a few golfers ahead to make the playoff. One of the big keys is his previous four tournaments. Four top-32 results have come his way and that culminated with a tied for 13th at the 3M […]

Webb Simpson Tries To Turn Back The Clock

Webb Simpson won the Wyndham Championship back in 2011 and has enjoyed several nice runs at Greensboro. The reality is it has been an up-and-down 2023.

Sam Burns Aims To Bounce Back At Wyndham

Sam Burns is comfortably in the FedEx Cup Playoffs but was not happy with how The Open Championship went. The American golfer missed the cut after an awful 73-76.
