Greensboro (USA), Aug 10 (PTI) Indian-American golfer Sahith Theegala, who began the Wyndham Championship in spectacular fashion with an eight-under 62, returned his worst card of the week — a four-over 74 — in the final round to sign off tied 49th here.
Theegala carded rounds of 62-69-69-74 for a six-under 274 total, but his place in the FedExCup Playoffs was never in danger. Theegala ended the regular season at No. 44 in the FedExCup standings and will now head into the three-event post-season.
Theegala’s qualification is particularly significant after an injury-hit 2025 season. He has gradually rebuilt his form this year and produced several strong finishes, including a tied eighth at the American Express and a tied seventh at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Aaron Rai, the other Indian-origin player in the field, finished tied 29th after a steady week.
The PGA Championship winner shot rounds of 67-69-69-67 to finish at eight-under 272. Rai’s performance left him No.35 in the final regular-season standings, giving him a comfortable place in the Playoffs.
The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings advance to the post-season, which begins next week with the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.
