Wyndham Championship 2026 — the receipts on a week that missed
Four flagged, none placed. Jordan Smith came closest in a share of 14th; the others finished further back or missed the cut. The week cost £80 to a flat £10 each-way stake, and it is already in the record.

None of our four flagged players placed. Jordan Smith came closest with a share of 14th, and the other three finished further back or missed the cut. To a flat £10 each-way stake the week returned minus £80. We publish the weeks that sting as plainly as the ones that land, because a record only means something if the misses are in it too.
How close did it get?
Eight places were on offer at Sedgefield. Our nearest, Jordan Smith, came up short in a tie for 14th. Doug Ghim (19th) and Aaron Rai (29th) were around at the weekend without ever threatening the frame, and Harris English missed the cut. There were no near-misses to soften it — a flat week for the whole card.
What the model liked, and why it did not land
The four came through on approach and course-fit signals: Sedgefield asks for precise iron play and tidy work on the greens, which is where our approach numbers pointed. On the week the group simply did not hole enough. One quiet putting week can sink an otherwise sound card, and this was one of them.
Why we still publish the misses
We named these players in our Sedgefield preview before a ball was struck, and here they are, settled in public. Like the Rocket Classic week before it, this one goes into the record at full cost. No edits, no quiet deletions.
