The Greenbrier Classic features five of the top-10 players in the FedExCup standings, including the top 2 in Jimmy Walker and Bubba Watson.

Waker, a three-time winner in the 2013-2014 wrap-around season, leads the reigning Masters champ by 239 points. So depending on Sunday's outcome, there could be a change at the top of the standings for just the second time this season.

Also at stake are four spots in The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool. The top four players not otherwise exempt among the top 12 finishers on Sunday earn the invitations to the game's oldest major thanks to the Open Qualifying Series.

Here are some of the groups PGATOUR.COM will be watching. Use the Comments section below to let us know your favorite groups.

Thursday

Brendon Todd, J.B. Holmes, Bubba Watson: Todd has shown no signs of slowing down since winning the HP Byron Nelson Championship, posting his third top-10 in the last four weeks at Congressional on Sunday. (Rd. 1 - 12:50 p.m. ET off No. 1; Rd. 2 - 7:50 a.m. ET off No. 10)

Webb Simpson, Keegan Bradley, Tom Watson: Watson is the Ryder Cup captain and right now Simpson and Bradley are outside the automatic qualifiers at Nos. 17 and 18, respectively. (Rd. 1 -- 1 p.m. ET off No. 1, Rd. 2 -- 8 a.m. ET off No. 10)

Friday

Patrick Reed, Bill Haas, Steve Stricker: Reed took a two-stroke lead into the final round Sunday at the Quicken Loans National and will be looking to atone for that 77 that kept him from winning for the third time this year. (Rd. 1 -- 7:50 a.m. ET off No. 10, Rd. 2 -- 12:50 p.m. ET off No. 1)

Jimmy Walker, Scott Stallings, Jonas Blixt: Stallings and Blixt are former Greenbrier Classic winners while Walker seeks his fourth win of the season. (Rd. 1 -- 8 a.m. ET off No. 10, Rd. 2 -- 1 p.m. ET off No. 1)

Quote:

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. – Much like Sam Snead once was, Tom Watson now holds the position of golf professional emeritus. Now he’s chasing after one of Snead’s old records.

With a 2-under 68 on Friday, Watson made the cut at The Greenbrier Classic for the third straight year.

At 64 years and 10 months exactly, Watson is still more than two years younger than Snead when he set the record for oldest player to make the cut at a PGA tour event. Snead was 67 years, 2 months and 21 days when he played all four rounds at the 1979 Manufacturers Hanover Westchester Classic.

Snead also holds the record for the oldest player to finish in the top-10. He was 63 years, 3 months and 4 days when he accomplished that feat at the 1975 B.C. Open.

If Watson can move up the leaderboard over the next two days and claim a top-10 result, he would own the new record.

This is how much discussion PGA Tour events get when Tiger's not playing in them… :)

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm enjoying the tournament, as usual. I admit, that it would be nice to see Tiger playing and blowing it out his ass again this week though. :-P

Cabrera playing well is good to see. He actually played really well at Liverpool the last time the Open was there. Entered the final round 2 back of Tiger before fading a bit on Sunday.

One of the biggest mysteries is why the Big Fella hasn't won more in the States. He was an eyelash away from winning his 3rd major last year at Augusta and that doesn't happen by luck, not to mention he's put himself in the mix in other majors as well. But yet he is never on the leaderboard in any regular PGA or even Euro PGA event. Just strange for a guy with his talent.

Because he gives no shits. He just plays once a year, at Augusta. Fantastic he's back in the winners circle. One of my favorite golfers

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
