For Schwab, the opening event of the Korn Ferry Tour Triple Final Series concerns the 2021/22 US PGA Tour card. If Styrian comes in the top 25 overall, he will be given the Tour ticket for the following season. If that works, the 26-year-old would primarily like to play on the US PGA Tour in the future. On Saturday (today), Schwab will be on tee at 6:56pm CEST.

“Even though I’ve lost a few places, I’m only behind the leader twice in the first half. And that’s okay,” Schwab said. “Today I didn’t get to drive the fairways very well, which is why the strikes on the greens didn’t hit the flags close enough. The result was less chances for real birds and a little more shots than in the first round. I’m doing really well in the tournament and I’m looking forward to the next two rounds.

Straka got better on day two of the inaugural PGA Tour three-part final series than on his 73rd round the day before, but a 70 of one was too little to reach the two-stroke cut. In the end, the deciding factor was the triple bogey on the first hole. Five birds weren’t enough to make it to hole 14, and a bogey on 15 thwarted Straka’s hopes of cutting. In the final standings, the 28-year-old was 88.
