Lebioda and Richey Continue To Roll Towards Playoffs
Hank Lebioda and Brian Richey continue to rattle of Top 20 finishes in recent weeks as they eye the playoffs in August.
PGA Tour rookie Hank Lebioda has finished in the Top 20 in three of his last five Tour starts including the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (5th), the Valero Texas Open (17th) and last week’s RBC Canadian Open (14th). The consistent performance has vaulted Lebioda inside the Top 125 on the Fed Ex Cup standings.
A long summer stretch on the PGA Tour of 6-7 consecutive starts awaits for Lebioda, starting with next week’s Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut. The Fed Ex Cup Playoffs being August 5th-11th at the Northern Trust at Liberty National golf club in New Jersey.
After a slow start to the Web.com Tour season, Brian Richey has turned the momentum in his favor. In his last seven starts, Brian has four top 25 finishes, two of which have also been inside the Top 7. Brian finished 19th at the Dormie Network Classic, 7th at the Knoxville Open, 21st at the Rex Hospital Open and 6th at the BMW Charity Pro-Am. Now 58th on the Web.com Tour points list, Brian will look to solidify his spot in the Top 75 for the Web.com Tour Playoffs which begin in August.
