LAS VEGAS – There is often a very fine line between keeping and not keeping a PGA Tour card.
Perhaps no one illustrates that better than Daniel Summerhays.
One year after racking up two majors top-10s, including a solo third at the 2016 PGA Championship, Summerhays took a three-shot lead into the final round of the Memorial last June. Had he closed the deal, he would have secured full status on Tour through 2020. Unfortunately, a final-round 78 dropped him to a tie for 10th.
And that would have been fine – had the Tour not done away with its money-list exemption.
