The final stop on the PGA Tour regular season has been taking place in North Carolina with the Wyndham Championship providing the last chance to make the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Several of the top players already making it through to the FedEX Cup finale skipped the annual trip to Sedgefield Country Club but there were still plenty of big names teeing it up in Greensboro.

We still had the likes of Jordan Spieth and Keegan Bradley arriving desperate to crack the top 70 to get into next week's FedEx St Jude Championship, while rookie sensation Jackson Koivun came into the event bang on the bubble in 70th spot.

At the 54-hole stage, Speith was tied for 21st, meaning he was 53rd in the projected FedEx Cup standings, with Bradley's position of 70th on the leaderboard leaving him with work to do in 74th on the standings.

Koivun had nudged his way up to 67th in the standings thanks to his placing of T15 on the leaderboard.

In 70th in the standings was Aldrich Potgieter, but his fate was out of his hands having missed the cut.

So there was much more at stake than pure finances at the Wyndham Championship, and with a prize pot of $8.5m it's in fact the lowest total purse on the PGA Tour this season, excluding opposite field events.

But that's still nothing to complain about for Sunday's winner, who will take home $1.53m dollars for finishing top of the tree in North Carolina.

With one round to play, Michael Brennan and Beau Hossler co-led on 16 under, one clear of a resurgent Tom Kim.

For both co-leaders, their performances have been enough to see them surge inside the top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings having begun the week well below the top 70.

The runner-up doesn't do too badly out of things financially either with a prize of $926,500 for solo second place, while third place will bank $586,500.

Of course, there are several factors that eat away at prize money and reduce how much pro golfers really earn from the figures below.

He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website.  Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
