Manasquan, NJ
Total Earnings - $502,471 (Avg of $62,808 per event as a pro)

He finished 8th for Non Tour members. If you take LIV players out, he was 1st. Also, didn't receive a check in his 1st tourney (finished 7th) as he was still an amateur.

Cuts Made - 7 0f 9

Best Finish - 4th in John Deere

Scoring Avg - 69.97

Driving Distance - 326.5

If he had been an official member of the tour he would have finished 1st by 4.9 yards.

No idea what's next other than he's qualified into the 2nd round of Korn Ferry Qualifying.

If Chris made the equivalent to as many FedEx points as Satoshi Kodaira did last year (150th place), he can earn Special Temporary Membership for the beginning of next season.

No clue how many points Chris would have won this year but Kodaira made $443,970 last year to Chris's $502,471. FedEx points obviously correlate to earnings but not exactly. This would be the best case scenario for Chris.

Kodaira had 257 points. This year's #150, Erik van Rooyen had 269. He did have 5 Top 25 finishes.

Chris would have received 122.5 points for his T4 in the John Deere, 22.4 in the 3M, 19 in the Travelers and 13 in the US Open. That's only 177. The other 2 wouldn't add much. I have no idea about Puerto Rico as an Am. He would have received 39 points for that.

It's just he didn't play enough tourneys.
 
After the FedEx Championship I'm sure he would be up for some more sponsor exemptions during the silly season.
