FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Of the 120 players teeing it up at The Barclays, it’s likely that no one is more surprised to be playing than David Toms.
Toms stood at No. 121 in the FedEx Cup standings entering last week’s Wyndham Championship, but his fate was placed into the hands of others when he withdrew to aid friends and family affected by the devastating floods in Louisiana. Only two players cracked the top 125 in the standings last week at Sedgefield Country Club, allowing Toms to hang onto his playoff position – and his fully-exempt status – by the slimmest of margins.
