JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Keith Mitchell was sizing up his 25-footer for birdie from just short of the 18th green when he glanced up at the leaderboard.
He’d avoided the ubiquitous boards all day. Having entered The Northern Trust at 101st on the FedExCup points list, he knew he needed a special performance at Liberty National to crack the top 70 and advance to the BMW Championship.
The leaderboard told him what he needed to know: Projected 69th.
With Tropical Storm Henri closing in on Long Island, officials canceled play on Sunday and planned to complete the final round Monday, but that plan could be changed by more rain in the forecast and the event could be shortened to 54 holes.
