The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings<\/a> get to tee off at the FedEx St. Jude Championship next week in Memphis. <\/p>\n

Entering the Wyndham Championship<\/a>, the bubble was as tight as ever with a little more than 100 points separating the 65th and 80th ranked players. While seemingly arbitrary, this stretch of names on the playoff points list is the proverbial playoff \u201cbubble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some have fared better with that pressure over the first 36 holes at Sedgefield, with veterans like Jason Day<\/a> and Stephan Jaeger succumbing to it and shutting trunk before the weekend in North Carolina. <\/p>\n

Jordan Smith and Matti Schmid are significantly improving their playoff outlook, while challenging for the winner\u2019s circle. <\/p>\n

Golf Channel will track how these players are doing at the end of each round, with a look at their current FedExCup position, where they stand at the Wyndham and their projected FEC ranking.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about Beau<\/p>\n

Nobody has helped their cause more at the Wyndham Championship than first-round leader Beau Hossler,<\/a> who started the week ranked 122nd and now is projected to finish 53rd. <\/p>\n

Hossler, who was playing his 800th round on Tour on Friday, made his birdie putt on the 18th hole to secure a 36-hole lead. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot going to talk about it, just going to play golf,\u201d Hossler said when asked about being on the bubble. \u201cBut yes, of course, I want to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right behind Hossler on the leaderboard is Ben James, who shot an opening round 62 and sits T-2 with Smith entering the weekend. <\/p>\n

James is projected to take a leap from No. 141 to No. 96 \u2014 still short of what he needs to qualify for a spot in the field in Memphis. <\/p>\n

Golf Channel and Golf Channel mobile will be broadcasting and streaming Round 3 coverage<\/a> of the Wyndham Championship from 1-3 p.m. ET on Saturday<\/p>\n
