Taylor Pendrith is back in the 72-hole stroke play action for the first time since the Presidents Cup. Despite the team's defeat, he did well to finish that week with a 2-3-0 record.

A couple of days ago, Matt McCarty joined Jason Gore as the only player to have won a PGA Tour event in the same season, in which he won three times on the Korn Ferry Tour. He can make it even better by winning another one this week.

McCarty is not at the top of the power rankings, considering he has never won back-to-back this season. However, he has a chance to change that this week.
