FedEx Cup playoff field set; Gary Woodland, Adam Scott miss cut

August 4 - The PGA Tour solidified its field of 70 golfers for the FedEx Cup playoffs following the final round of the Wyndham Championship on Sunday, and Gary Woodland was among a host of notable names that failed to qualify. Germany's Matti Schmid began the regular-season finale sitting 70th in the points standings, and he finished exactly where he started after tying for 31st in the tournament. Chris Kirk was the only player to climb in from outside the top 70. He tied for fifth at 14 under with four rounds in the 60s, and it was enough to boost him from 73rd entering the week to 61st. The one player who lost his spot: South Korea's Byeong Hun An, who missed the cut at the Wyndham and dropped from 69th to 74th in points as a result. Woodland, the 2019 U.S. Open champion, had an outside shot of entering the top 70 as he began the tournament in 75th place. Woodland opened with rounds of 67 and 64 to be near the top of the leaderboard after Friday, but back-to-back 70s on the weekend weren't enough. He tied for 23rd at the Wyndham and finished the season 72nd in points. Woodland was attempting to make the playoffs for the first time since he underwent surgery for a brain lesion in 2023. The first man out was Davis Thompson, who nearly rocketed from 78th place by tying for 11th at the Wyndham. Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark had a fine season and contended at last month's Open Championship but finished 73rd in points. Australian Adam Scott fired a 65 on the first day of the Wyndham but was pedestrian from there. He needed a victory to catapult from 85th to the top 70, but instead dropped back to 90th in points at season's end. Further down the list were Joel Dahmen (No. 93), South Korea's Tom Kim (No. 94) and Max Homa (No. 111). Defending FedEx Cup champion Scottie Scheffler holds a large lead over Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy as the top 70 players head to the FedEx St. Jude Championship this week in Memphis, Tenn. The next number to watch is No. 50, as only the top 50 after Memphis will advance to the second leg of the playoffs. Australia's Min Woo Lee currently holds the 50th spot. Notable players currently on the outside include Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas (No. 56), Tony Finau (No. 60) and Rickie Fowler (No. 64). --Field Level Media

Barry Ferguson reveals private Russell Martin Rangers chat

The former interim Rangers manager, who took over in February after Philippe Clement was sacked, wanted the job permanently. However, the club's new American-based owners chose ex-Southampton boss Martin as head coach. Ferguson has now disclosed that he recently had his first conversation with Martin. He has backed him to be a success at Rangers. Ferguson said: "I like the way he speaks to the press. "I've spoke to him privately and it was the first time I spoke to him. "I came off the phone with him and I was impressed by him. "He gets it, he understands it, I think if something doesn't go right he'll go and fix it." Ferguson's words show confidence in Martin's ability to lead Rangers to success.

Ben Doak stars for Liverpool in pre-season with youngster earning rave reviews before key Scotland fixtures

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BEN DOAK burst onto the Scottish national scene last year as Steve Clarke brought the youngster into the fold. But the Liverpool star who was on loan at Middlesbrough last campaign had his season cut short by injury. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 3 Ben Doak is back firing for Liverpool this pre-season Credit: Getty 3 Which will be music to the ears of the Tartan Army Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 He squeezed the ball into the net from this tight angle against Athletic Bilbao Credit: CBS SPORTS GOLAZO Rumours have been swirling this summer about a potential Liverpool exit for the ex-Celtic youngster, with Merseyside rivals Everton linked with the winger. But Doak has been involved heavily in Arne Slot's pre season even starting Monday night's clash with Athletic Bilbao. The winger impressed in his 56 minute showing against the Reds European opposition. He played a crucial part in helping Liverpool go into a two nil lead early on, putting a key cross in to the box which Darwin Nunez eventually finished off. The young Scotsman also thought he ended up on the score sheet as his strike ended up in the back of the net, but it went down as an own-goal. Despite not officially making it on the score-sheet, Liverpool fans raved about the youngster's performance on social media. Liverpool posted an image of the youngster on X, and fans made their feelings known in the replies. "I have a LOT of faith in Ben Doak" one fan replied. Another added: "Our future's extremely bright." "It was a cross good approach play by him, direct, making things happen," said another. COFFEE CLUB Has Ben Doak been mishandled by Scotland manager Steve Clarke? A fourth supporter called him a "special talent". A Celtic fan also replied, pleading to Doak's former club to snap the youngster up on a loan deal. He featured just twice for the Hoops before his move to Liverpool, one of those appearances coming in an Old Firm. But he has heavily impressed for Scotland, and has picked up six caps for his country. In a squad that lacks wide players, Ben Doak is exactly the type of player that Steve Clarke needs. And the Tartan Army will be relieved to see the electric winger back firing for the Reds. Scotland have key World Cup qualifiers coming up this year, starting with games against Denmark and Belarus in September. With his pre-injury form for Scotland, many fans will be calling for the youngster to be thrown straight back into Steve Clarke's starting 11.
