Hadwin and Taylor make the Fed Ex Cup playoffs, Svensson wins PGA card.

Fed Ex Cup playoffs 125 list https://www.golfchannel.com/article/golf-central-blog/fedexcup-top-125/

Adam Hadwin was always going to be in this years' Fed Ex Cup playoffs, he finished 70th fuelled by his early season form (T3 Humanitarian Challenge, T12 Valspar, T24 Masters), the question was who was going to join him flying the Canadian flag.

Brandt Snedeker opened the season ending Wyndham Championship with that 59 and closed with 65 to win going from wire to wire at -21.

Of the 5 Canadians in the field, it was Nick Taylor who stepped up to the plate on Sunday with a brilliant -9 63 to finish at -15 T8 which vaulted him to 119th and into the field at this week's 1st playoff, the Northern Trust in New Jersey.

After rounds of 64 67 64, David Hearn started Sunday T3 but his final round 70 wasn't enough. He was T8 -15 as well, but finished 138th, Corey Connors finished 130th, Ben Silverman finished 136th so they are all off to the Web.com playoffs.

Speaking of the Web.com, the top 25 there were decided this weekend and Canadian Adam Svensson finished the regular season at No. 14 thanks to four top-10 finishes and one victory at the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, thus securing his PGA Tour card for 2019.

Dustin Johnson finished 1st edging out Justin Thomas 2nd and a hard charging Brooks Koepka 3rd.

Tiger is in at #20, Rory is #21 and is skipping this week, Rickie Fowler is 17th. Notably Sergio Garcia (128) will miss the playoffs for the first time.
