It was a good news, bad news scenario for Montgomery County native Denny McCarthy.
The good news was he finished tied for 10th at the BMW Championship – his seventh top 10 finish of the season – worth $480,600. The bad news: for the second straight year, he narrowly missed advancing to the season-ending Tour Championship which comes with many perks.
It came down to the final hole. McCarthy needed a birdie on 18 Sunday to make the top 30 in the FedExCup standings – which gains players automatic entry into next week’s Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta – but settled for bogey, an even par 70 and on the outside looking in.
Playing in the Tour Championship gets players a golden ticket into the Masters, the U.S.Open and British Open in. 2024. And a coveted exemption – for two years – on the PGA Tour.
Viktor Hovland shot a final round 61 to win the BMW at Olympia Fields outside of Chicago.
The 2022-23 season was McCarthy’s best yet. The Georgetown Prep alum set personal career highs with seven top-10 and 14 top-25 finishes and $6.4 million in earnings. His 6th season on Tour featured his best career finish (second at the Memorial Tournament) and a career low 60 (first round at the Travelers Championship) which is also the lowest round on the PGA Tour this year.
