B. Grace - G

Branden Grace lost his father to COVID-19 and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future as he takes some time away from golf to be with his family.

Grace provided the sad news on social media and this explains his WD last week ahead of The American Express. He also backed out of the upcoming Farmers Insurance Open and there is no timetable for his return, he just said "I will be taking some time off to be with family. Stay Safe." This time away could be a week or it could be a year. We will update when a return is planned.

B. Harman - G

Playing out of the penultimate threesome, World No. 97 Brian Harman backpedaled with a 1-under-par 37-34=71 in the final round of The American Express, falling three spots to a season-best T8 on 14-under 274, nine adrift of champion Si Woo Kim (64).

After kicking off with 68-68 (NT-SC) and 67, the 34-year-old began T5 on 13-under, two back of three tri-leaders at the top, including Kim. He found nine (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation, gaining 0.319 strokes off-the-tee and 1.861 on approach, but losing 1.055 around-the-green. The Georgia alum squared three bogeys at holes 4, 6 and 13 (failed scrambles), slightly outpaced by four birdies at 7, 10, 11 and 12, each from inside of nine feet. He posted 1.692 putts per GIR and -1.506 SG: Putting, missing five putts from inside of 11 feet. For the week, the St. Simons Island, Georgia, resident totaled one eagle and 21 birdies against five bogeys and two doubles. This was his ninth AmEx and fifth top 25, five in his last six, and second top 10, joining a T3 four tries ago in 2017. Harman improves to 9-for-10 on the season with three top 25s, first since a T24 at the Houston Open four starts ago, and records his first top-10 finish since T3 at last season's Greenbrier 28 starts ago.

P. Casey - G

Playing out of the fifth-to-last threesome, World No. 27 Paul Casey fashioned a 3-under-par 34-35=69 in the final round of The American Express to wrap on 14-under 274, up five places to a season-best T8, nine shy of champion Si Woo Kim (64).

This was the AmEx ambassador's fifth appearance and second top 25, second straight after T21 last year where he was T9 after 54 holes (68-67-67-71). He improves to 5-for-6 on the season with two top 25s, bettering a T17 at the U.S. Open in his season-opener, and records his first top-10 finish since T2 at last season's PGA Championship nine starts ago. After kicking off with 72-65 (NT-SC) and 69, Rounds 2 and 3 bogey-free, the 43-year-old began T13 on 11-under, one short of the overnight top 10. On seven (of 14) fairways and 15 greens in regulation, he lost strokes off-the-tee (-0.825) and around-the-green (-0.385), but gained 3.009 on approach. The Arizona State product's lone blemish was double bogey-6 at hole 3, outpaced by five circles at 2, 5, 6, 8 and 10, each from inside of 11 feet. He registered 1.667 putts per GIR and -0.180 SG: Putting with 29 total putts, ending the week with one eagle and 16 birdies versus two bogeys and one double.

B. An - G

Playing out of the fifth-to-last threesome, World No. 77 Byeong Hun An authored a 3-under-par 34-35=69 in the final round of The American Express to finish up on 14-under 274, up five places to a season-best T8, nine adrift of countryman and champion Si Woo Kim (64).

This was the South Korean's second AmEx after a missed cut by five last year (70-72-70). He improves to 3-for-8 on the season with one top 25, bettering a T35 at the ZOZO @ SHERWOOD three starts ago, and records his first top 10 since T4 at last season's Honda 18 starts and 10 months ago. For the week, he carded rounds of 65-73- (NT-SC) 67-69, and totaled 21 birdies versus seven bogeys. On Sunday, he outpaced one bogey with four birdies on 10 (of 14) fairways and 11 greens in regulation, gaining 0.342 strokes off-the-tee and 2.606 on-the-green, but losing 1.260 on approach. The 29-year-old converted two scoring chances from between 14 and 21 feet, and also saved par three times from between six and nine feet.

F. Molinari - G

Making his first start since a missed cut at the Masters 10 weeks ago and playing out of the fourth-to-last threesome, World No. 130 Francesco Molinari finished birdie-birdie toward a 2-under-par 34-36=70 in the final round of The American Express, good for a season-best T8 on 14-under 274, nine back of overnight tri-leader and champion Si Woo Kim (64).

This was the Los Angeles resident's fifth AmEx, third top 25 and second top 10, supplanting a prior-best T10 on debut in 2015. He improves to 2-for-4 on the season with two top 25s, joining a T15 two starts ago at the Houston Open, and records his first top-10 finish since T5 at the 2019 Masters 22 worldwide starts ago as the 54-hole leader by two (70-67-66-74). After opening with 69-66 (SC-NT) and bogey-free 69, the 38-year-old began T8, three back, and hit nine (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation. He lost 1.013 strokes approaching but gained 0.608 off-the-tee and 0.766 around-the-green. The Italian penciled five birdies at holes 5, 7, 8, 17 (fringe-shot from 17'10") and 18 (from 50'0"), taking some gloss off with bogey-4 at 6 and double bogey-5 at 13 (watered tee ball). He eked out a 0.258 SG: Putting with 28 total putts, ending the week with 21 birdies against three bogeys and two doubles.

M. Thompson - G

Playing out of the ninth-to-last threesome, World No. 102 Michael Thompson styled a 6-under-par 30-36=66 in the final round of The American Express to finish up on 15-under 273, up 20 spots to a season-best T5, eight short of overnight tri-leader and champion Si Woo Kim (64).

This was the Tucson, Arizona, native's sixth appearance and second top 25, joining a T9 two tries ago in 2019 where he was T5 after 54 holes (68-66-65-71). He improves to 7-for-7 on the season with four top 25s, four consecutive, and records his first top 10 since his second TOUR victory at last season's 3M Open 11 starts ago. After kicking off with 67-72 (NT-SC) and 68, Rounds 1 and 3 bogey-free, the 35-year-old began T25 on 9-under, three shy of the overnight top 10. On 10 (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation, he gained 0.421 strokes off-the-tee, 1.492 approaching, 1.739 around, and 3.653 tee-to-green. The Alabama alum's lone hiccup was triple bogey-6 at 13, where he watered his tee ball and then 3-jacked from 27'11", outflanked by nine birdies at 2, 3 (hole-out from 31'4" away), 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 16, three from between 10 and 21 feet. He registered 1.500 putts per GIR and 0.967 SG: Putting, wrapping the week with 20 birdies versus zero bogeys, No. 1 in that stat, but had one double and one triple.

M. Homa - G

Playing out of the final threesome, overnight tri-leader and World No. 103 Max Homa labored to a 4-over-par 38-38=76 in the final round of The American Express, cratering 20 spots to T21 on 11-under 277, a distant 12 in arrears of overnight tri-leader, playing competitor and champion Si Woo Kim (64).

The UC-Berkeley alum falls to 1-for-2 as a 54-hole leader/co-leader but does improve to 4-for-7 on the season with two top 25s, two straight after T12 at Mayakoba seven weeks ago. This was his fifth AmEx and second cash, bettering a T48 last year where he was T9 after 54 holes (71-68-63-75). After opening with 66-70 (NT-SC) and 65, the 30-year-old co-led with Kim and Tony Finau (68), and hit eight (of 14) fairways and 12 greens in regulation. He gained 0.395 strokes off-the-tee but lost 0.357 approaching and 2.112 around-the-green. The Burbank native conjured one, two-putt birdie-4 at hole 5, outbalanced by five bogeys at 3, 6, 9 (3-putt from 62'7"), 15 and 18, posting a dismal 2.083 putts per GIR and -3.307 SG: Putting with 35 total putts. For the week, he totaled 25 birdies, 3rd in that stat, versus nine bogeys, one double, and one triple.

D. Ghim - G

Playing out of the fourth-to-last threesome, World No. 390 Doug Ghim carved out a 3-under-par 33-36=69 in the final round of The American Express to conclude on 15-under 273, up three places to a career-best T5, eight adrift of overnight tri-leader and champion Si Woo Kim (64).

The Las Vegas resident improves to 6-for-8 on the season with five top 25s, first since T18 at the RSM three starts ago. Overall, it's his 11th career top 25 in 37 events and first top 10, brushing aside a prior-best T12 at the 2019 AT&T Byron Nelson as a non-member sponsor invite. This was the 24-year-old's second AmEx after a missed cut last year by five (68-70-74), and ended the week with 18 birdies, T34 in that stat, against just five bogeys, T5 in that category. After opening with 67-68 (SC-NT) and 69, he began T8 on 12-under, three back, and hit 10 (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation. The Des Plaines, Illinois, native lost strokes approaching (-0.218) and around-the-green (-0.218), but gained 2.455 with the flat stick. He squared a lone bogey-4 at 13, offset by four birdies at 5, 7, 8 and 16, two from between nine and 21 feet, registering 1.692 putts per GIR with 28 total putts, highlighted by a walk-off par-saver at 18 from 41'7". Ghim ranked T1 in GIR at 81.94 percent (59/72) and No. 1 in Scrambling at 92.31 percent.
