Ben James

ANALYSIS
What could have been for James had it not been for Saturday's round. The 23-year-old American opened the tournament with an eight-under 62 first round and was near the top of the leaderboard at 11-under heading into the weekend. However, his third round was marred by four bogeys from holes 10 to 14 to drop him to 15th on the leaderboard. He put together a valiant effort Sunday with the best round of the day, but he needed a victory to secure a spot in next week's FedExCup playoff opener, the St. Jude Championship. James co-led the field in both driving accuracy and GIR while ranking second in SG: Approach, seventh in SG: Off-the-Tee and 23rd in SG: Putting, though he finished 67th out of 81 in SG: Around. James will enter the FedExCup Fall season 108th in the Standings.
