Needs to go on a run these next two days. If he doesn't he will have a ton of pressure on the last two tourneys.

He made the weekend. Time to start over.
He's birdied three in a row
Great final round. Will drop 2 or 3 spots but everyone vying for the last 8 or so spots is super close.
Going to have to turn it on the last two weeks! One good finish should lock up the spot.

Really helped himself out today. Will end up being close to a top 25 spot for the weekend. If Peterson and Atkins finish outside of top 3, that would be big to help prevent more guys being right around Sam fighting for the last few spots of top 30
Roughly where he will end up post event. Not much separating all of those in that area but has a decent lead on 31. Still needs to have two quality finishes.
Hopefully finishes the last 2 strong. Got 80 points on 31st
Not a hot start. +2.... Another missed opportunity on a par 5 and missed a 4 footer for bird on another hole. If he falls out of top 30, short putts and par 5 scoring will be the reason.
Has played his was back to E! Anything E- -2 is good on this course. One of the tougher courses they will play.
Finishes +1. Blah. Lots of putts missed inside 8 feet. Really going to need a solid round tomorrow.
Having trouble finding fairway through first few holes. Currently +1 on day and +2 overall. Absolutely needs to make this cut which will likely be +1.
Aaaaand bogeys an easy par 5. Ugh. +2 today thru 5. Not looking good folks.
Yep, he's in a tough spot. 9 holes to go.
4' for a birdie on 9. He has to make that
those 4-6 footers missed for birdie has been a consistent theme this year on KFT... really has to clean it up for next year be it on tour or KFT againFriscoKid said:

Bad bogey when he was in fairway. sits at +2 for tourney with 7 holes to go.. cut will likely be E now. Need to go -2 over last 7.
15th. Again perfect off the tee and only 136 out and he ends up really short and in the sand. Somehow he saves it and makes a 9' for par. I know you think his putter is bad. I think his approach shot gets him in more trouble. Luckily he did claw back to even with 3 to play. Just make pars and earn two more days.
Going into the last hole E. A par and he definitely makes the cut.
Makes the weekend! Time to go low.
He is now projected to be 30th. Needs a strong weekend for sure. Play well Sam.
A couple of the guys in front of him missed cut so even improving his position a little bit should help him jump them this week.
whew.. really needed to make the cut..
#26 Kaito Onishi IN at E
#27 Trevor Cone CUT at +2
#28 Fightin Texas Aggie Sam Bennett IN at E
#29 Danny Walker IN at -1
#30 Trent Philips CUT at +3
#31 Noah Goodwin is IN at -9 (and tied for the lead)
#32 Trey Winstead is IN at -4
#33 Brandon Crick is IN at -3

Another bogey on a par 5... Was putting for birdie from 22 ft and made bogey
I think it's just us focusing on the negative, but it sure seems he has a lot more 3 putts and 3 shot occurrences (instead of getting up and down) from around the green.
The putting really is a struggle. Compared to his playing partners he definitely has a hard time.
E for day. If he could go really low tomorrow he could ease a bit of pressure next week. Not many big numbers being posted on this course and everyone is within 2-3 to really improve position.
But regardless he will need to show up big time for Finals. Thankfully no cut so hopefully he can let loose and go low!

It's all going to come down to the last tournament of the season. Probably for the last tour card. It's nut cutting time for Sam. Gotta birdie some par 5's, make a few putts, and no 3 putts.
+2. He is so far behind meaningful points it doesn't matter too much at this point. Going to need to show up with his A game in two weeks for the Finals.
Wow. He just missed another 2' putt. This is a REALLY bad time for his putting to go on vacation, but it appears it has. Needs a little form going into the last tournament, and he is far from it. But he always fights back when the chips are down. Somehow he needs to bring things together in 2 weeks. He is now on the bubble. sitting in 30th.
Sam absolutely has to do something this off-season about his putting and par 5 scoring. If he misses out on a tour card this year, both of those will be the main culprit.
Wheels falling off badly today. It is what it is. All going to come down to Finals.
Rough Sunday.
Projected at #30 going into the final tourney.
C'mon Sam... you got this!

Pretty close between 24 and 30. Just finishing higher than any of them by a few spots should cause him to jump them. Needs to play some solids golf though in 2 weeks.
Well, here we go. Six months after the first post on this thread and it all comes down to the last tournament of the year. I'm really thinking Sam will pull this off. Can't wait to watch this play out.
Are they playing the Dye course up there? Heard it's pretty tough, which might play in his favor.
