Padraig hauls himself back into the top thirty with a final round of four under par 67. He got off to a wonderful start with an eagle two on the 11th hole and followed that with two more birdies to be out in 31 shots. But he failed to replicate the magic on his back nine as he finished with nine straight pars. The playoffs continue next week with the Simmons Bank Championship and culminate mid November with the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. 

Padraig shoots a second round of 73 as he gets off to a poor start and never recovers. He dropped a shot at the first and three putted the 7th to fall to two over par. He made only one birdie after that, at the par five 8th hole, where he got up and down from a greenside bunker. Nine straight pars on the back nine did little to improve his position and he finds himself outside the top 40 heading into Sundays final round. Padraig tees off at 4.01pm local time with Chad Campbell and Matthew Goggin. 

Padraig opens his account at the Stifel Classic with a two under par round of 69. It could have been so much better as he got off to the perfect start with an eagle two at the first hole and raced to four under par after eleven holes. But a poor tee shot on the par four 14th hole cost him a penalty shot and a double bogey. He dropped another shot at the par four 17th hole but got it back with a nice birdie at the last to sign for a 69. Still all to play for with seven under par leading! 

Padraig plays this week at the Stifel Charity Classic which is being played at St.Louis in Missouri. It is the start of the Charles Schwab Cup playoff events and carries a purse of over two million dollars. Padraig is currently in fourth position in the rankings and won this event back in 2022. The course is a par 71 which plays to nearly 7,000 yards. Thomas Bjorn is your defending champion.

Padraig finished T18 at the SAS Championship in Cary, North Carolina, closing with an excellent 4-under-par 68.

After opening rounds of 71 and 75, he saved his best golf for Sunday, climbing 19 places up the leaderboard to finish at 2-under-par (214) for the tournament.

His final-round 68 was also the joint-lowest round of the day, a strong response to a difficult Saturday and a positive finish to the week.
