Also, if you have ESPN+, you can watch all of Cam's shots. They're following his group and Molinari's group.

Thanks for the heads up - watching now. This is the most dead PGA tour event I've ever seen, haven't seen a single patron on the course or in the grandstands.

Traditions isn't exactly close to campus, either. It's nice from what I remember, and it's secluded from the public.

We need Crenshaw (I get it, he went to TU) or Robert Trent Jones (is it just the son now?) to come in and renovate the TAMU campus course. The TAMU campus course has improved tremendously since it was reincorporated, but it's not up to the maintenance required to compete with other sporting facilities at TAMU or decent public courses. Maybe they can take a book from the RTJ in Mobile, Alabama- where a tee time still runs members of the public 45-55 generally to keep it more affordable.

Burgoon played well last week at the KF event in Arlington but had an awful final round.

Another outstanding round for Cam today. -5 and bogey-free 66. He's now at -8 for the tournament, good enough for T5. He left a few putts short or else he would have shot a 63. Great on approach. Well done Cam.

Palmer has had a rough year and could easily find himself without a tour card next year if he's not able to get some decent finishes in the back half of the season.

Yup. Or a liv tour invite

Have you heard him talk about LIV? He's adamantly anti LIV and has openly talked about the great pension he's earned from the PGA Tour. He will definitely have to pick up his play to qualify for a full card, but even if he doesn't he can get lots of starts based on his career to date.

Maybe related to his recent form, I just heard last week Ryan and his long time caddie split earlier this year. Hope it was amicable and they're still friends.

He'll be 50 in a few years. Champions Tour awaits.

Ours are nice. Hoping for an update in the near future.

Great weekend for Champ overall. Currently t8 at -14 should finish there

For those that followed Aggie golf for a while, how was Champ as an Aggie? Was he on the level Sam is now?

No

Where's the love for Palmer T2 going into the weekend! He needs a good finish this weekend.

What's his card status?

Top 125 keep their full card (the rules have changed this year, so it's complicated). He's 186 right now. He would be 93 with a T2 finish (as of now, obviously it changes depending on how those around him would finish).

Winner gets 500 points. 2nd gets 300 points. 3rd 190. Works its way down to 10th being 75 and 20th being worth 45, for reference.

The current person ranked at 125 has 210 points for the season. Palmer has 71 points. Catching up on a 130 point deficit needs some pretty solid finishes.

Those ranked 126-175 are in a gray zone that hasn't fully been defined yet. In the past these non-fully exempt guys were alternates in tournaments and could only be in the field if the fully exempt players didn't fill out the field.

Palmer fighting it right now

-5 round from Cam today. Outstanding golf.

Palmer tied for lead after third round. Will be in final group. Eagle putt on 18th ended up 1 inch short.

He's been playing really solid since Vidanta. Putting specifically has been a lot better

Can Ryan finally put it together on a Sunday?

That putt was tracking and just threw on the brakes!

I think he still has his lifetime 1 year exemption available just in case he doesn't finish top 125. I would love to see him win it tomorrow and make status a moot point for 2 years.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that exists. As far as I know, you get a two-year exemption when you win, but it is for the two seasons that immediately follow the win.

Players among the Top 50 in career earning as of the end of the preceding season may elect to use a one-time exemption for the next season

Cam's in the featured groups now on ESPN.

Palmer 1 over through 5 and now 3 back from the lead.

Palmer's putting was cold. He needed a monster round.

He needed to shoot 64 to get in the playoff. Jason Day just went nuts.

Good find. I never would have guessed that he was 35th in all-time career earnings, even with that list being heavily skewed toward players from the past 20 years.

For anyone that turned pro since 2000, Tiger should get 1% of everyone's career winnings.

More like 10% (if this was the politics board, it would be 10% for the Big Guy).

Pretty easy to get there when you have been on your for 20 straight years. He has had a solid, if not spectacular, career.
