Former LU Standout Stroud in 2nd place going in to final round of PGA Tour event

It will be on the golf channel starting at noon.  He should get a ton of TV time.  Thought some may enjoy watching.

How did he finish?

Didnt play that well the last day but still finished seventh and made $950k for the year.  He is improving every year.  I expect him to win next year.

You know I don't know golf, but if he has made $950k for the year isn't he assured of his PGA Tour Card?

Yes, Stroud will have his PGA card for next year.  Stroud finished 102 on the money list.  You have to finish within the top 125 to secure your card for the next season.  Stroud came into this event ranked 119 on the money list. With this being the last event for the season.  With a bad showing here he could have he could have easily fallen below the magic number of 125. This happened to the guys that were ranked 123 - 125.  Stroud showed a lot of poise and got the job done.

He has his card.  All he really had to do was make the cut and he was pretty much assured to keep his card.  He was focused on winning so after having a 3 shot lead after the first round he was a bit dissapointed in his finish but he did what he had to do.  It will be nice to see him winning as it will give LU a ton of coverage.  He keeps a big LU embroidered on his bag.
