Max Greyserman is up to No. 31 in the world ranking and can count on a return trip to the Masters next year if he stays in the top 50 over the next few months.
But this runner-up business is getting old.
Greyserman now has five runner-up finishes in his 53 starts over two years, the most recent when Xander Schauffele outlasted him at the Baycurrent Classic. Schauffele birdied the 17th hole for a two-shot lead, and Greyserman went down swinging — a 7-iron from 187 yards that stopped about 6 inches away from the cup.
“Kind of more of the same,” Greyserman said. “Feel like I executed. I did well, just didn’t play good enough.”
The PGA Tour is off this week, and the 30-year-old Greyserman might do well check in with south Florida neighbor Cameron Young.
Young, had seven runner-up finishes
