Aside from Scottie Scheffler, who is currently on the sidelines awaiting the January events in Hawaii, repeating in back-to-back tournaments on the PGA Tour is a rarity. Last year, Ludvig Aberg won the RSM Classic at St. Simon's Island; after three rounds over the two Sea Island courses this week, he's posted rounds of 73-64-71-208, 4 under par, and he's tied for 42nd heading into today's finale over the Seaside Course.

    Vince Whaley (67-68-63-198) and Maverick McNealy are deadlocked for the 54-hole lead at 14 under par, two strokes ahead of rejuvenated Seminole Daniel Berger (71-66-63-200), who is tied for third.

    Gator Tyson Alexander's card reads 70-71-71-212, even par, and he's tied for 65th; Camilo Villegas missed the cut with 75-71. The cut came at 1 under, and 67 made it.

    At last week's Butterfield Bermuda Championship, Tyson shot 73-65-68-73-279, 5 under, tying for 47th and grabbing a check for $17,584, same payday as Villegas, who shot 72-68-66-73. Berger's 73-67-70-73-283, 1 under, was good for a check for $15,111.

    The week before, at the World Wide Technology Championship in Cabo San Lucas, Tyson tied for 45th and collected $19,864, Berger tied for 20th and earned $84,960, and Villegas missed the cut. So Camilo is struggling, but as a recent tournament winner, he's safe for now, while Tyson and Berger are slowly padding their bank accounts.
