Tommy’s Take: Twenty Two Under - This Week’s Magic Number 

Let's start in Greensboro, North Carolina, where Michael Brennan put on a masterclass at Sedgefield Country Club to claim the Wyndham Championship. The 24-year-old fired an impressive final-round 64 to finish at 22-under-par, three shots clear of final-round playing partner Beau Hossler. The win secured Brennan's second PGA Tour title, but the truly significant detail is that he entered the week at No. 105 in the FedEx Cup standings, considerably outside of the top-70 cutoff to make the FedEx Cup playoffs. So it really was a case of go hard or go home! His victory rocketed him up 58 places to No. 47, safely inside that top 70, meaning he will be teeing it up at this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis at TPC Southwind.

Jackson Koivun, the rookie out of Auburn who won the 3M Open last month, grabbed the 70th and final spot with a T29 finish at the Wyndham. It's going to be fascinating to see who can elevate themselves into the top 50 after Memphis to make the BMW Championship—and ultimately, who finishes inside the top 30 to battle it out at East Lake for the grand finale.

Now, let's talk about a name you need to get used to—Anna Huang. The 17-year-old Canadian has done it again, winning the ‘PIF London Championship’ at Centurion Club. At just 17 years and 10 months old, Huang became the youngest player to capture a fourth career win on the Ladies European Tour, finishing at 22-under-par with a stunning eagle on the final hole to finish two clear of Charley Hull. This girl is going to be an absolute superstar over the next decade. Four wins already in the bag at just 17? That's seriously impressive stuff.

A great couple of months are coming up—the FedEx Cup playoffs, the Solheim Cup, the Presidents Cup, and the Race to Dubai finale. I’ll do my best to keep up with it all!

Enjoy the walk!
