LOS CABOS (Mexico) — Erik van Rooyen won the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico on Sunday, putting an end to his worries about his job status on the PGA Tour not only for next year but also the following one. Tour wins equates to a 2-year exemption.
For others, however, it is too late to make a splash or take care of the business. Justin Lower is one golfer who will be able to rest easy in the last two weeks. He has been a bubble boy on both the Korn Ferry Tour as well as the PGA Tour. Lower, however, improved three places to No. 107 after finishing T-23 on the PGA Tour this week. The standings show that Lower is ranked 107.
“I thought a bit about it.” “I did the math and I think I was 75 points ahead of the 125th spot. I haven’t even looked at the projections this week,” said he. It’s nice to take a break, but I find it hard to relax.
When asked what he would miss the most from being on the bubble he replied, “Absolutely Nothing.”
The point standings in the south are shown below.
