FedExCup Update: Max Greyserman plays boldly at 3M Open, moves toward projected Playoff spot

Jhonattan Vegas (moved from 149th to 66th): With his victory at the 3M Open, his first TOUR title since 2017, Vegas jumped 83 spots in the season-long standings. He’s not yet assured of a Playoff spot, but it’s a stark turnaround in fortunes for the Venezuelan who hadn’t posted a top-10 finish on TOUR in more than two years. Vegas, 39, hasn’t finished inside the top 70 in the FedExCup since 2021 (he was ranked No. 111 in 2022 and ranked No. 187 heading into the Playoffs in 2023, ultimately finishing No. 194 in the Fall FedExCup). Not many would have pegged Vegas as a potential contender this week, but his game was on the upswing (T27 or better in each of his previous three starts), and sometimes things can come together quickly. “That’s the beauty of golf; that’s the beauty of the PGA TOUR,” Vegas said. “Any given week can change your life forever, so I’m thankful to have won this week.”
