Palmer trying to make Match Play, Masters at Valspar

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – A mathematical deadline looms large for many players this week at the Valspar Championship.

Next Monday’s Official World Golf Ranking will set the field for the WGC-Dell Match Play and for many this is the final chance to qualify for the year’s second World Golf Championship.

“That’s my reason for playing this week,” Ryan Palmer said on Tuesday at Innisbrook. “I wasn’t playing this week until about a week ago. When I saw the eorld ranking and I talked to the Tour and got some information from the world ranking folks, they said this is where you’ll stand if you don’t play [the Valspar Championship], which would be like 69th.
