Brian Gay has earned $2,205,513 YTD and presently sits at #30 on the PGA TOUR Money List. Top 30 status is especially coveted because it guarantees an invitation to both The Masters and the U.S. Open for those not otherwise qualified. So, this is an all-important week for Brian, and there is no room to spare.

Interestingly, of the 'men in front', neither Hunter Mahan (#29 / $3,342 ahead) nor D. J. Trahan (#26 / $98,855 ahead) are in the field. So, we know exactly what needs to be done to pass them.

Of those five nearest behind, neither Sean O'Hare (#34 / $115,656 behind) nor Andres Romero (#35 / $140,901 behind) are in the field. That leaves Ken Duke (#31 / $266 behind); J.B. Holmes (#32 / $73,020); and Woody Austin (#33 / $81,392 behind) as the most dangerous to Our Hero. Of course, a win or a very high finish by any of the trailing players (up to about #60) could be enough to leapfrog that player into the Top 30.

This is going to be a real slugfest. And, for Brian, it begins tomorrow at 7:35 a.m.

Go get'em, Champ!
