Chris

Thompson

The 44-year-old first-timer made his TOUR debut at the 2014 U.S. Open after graduating from Kansas in 1999. He’s played in five career events, three this season, and has made two cuts: a T64 at the 2014 Byron Nelson and a career-best T45 at the opposite-field Sanderson Farms eight weeks ago. Thompson began 41st on the Web.com priority list and is now 38th after the first reshuffle post-RSM Classic. He’s made 100 career starts on the Web, including full seasons in 2007, 2008 and 2018, and posted two podiums, both 3rd-place finishes last season. The Kansas native and resident secured his promotion with a run of 3-T4-T3 in consecutive weeks.
