10 Paul McBeth 10 1049 36.0 29.7 TBD
All but 1 in the the top 25 for MPO is playing at the upcoming USDGC. Buhr is defending champion.
The top 8 rankings didn't change after Maple Hill, which is unusual. Basically Calvin has top spot locked up, Eagle is playing the best in past 3 to 7 events. Orum, Isaac and Simon don't move up with their subpar history at USDGC (Simon is averaging about 50th place) in past 5 years.
Isaac and Eagle have great Major averages entering this event, with Isaac of course winning 2 out of the first 3 Majors.

17 Anthony Barela 13 1038 7.3 27.0 USDGC
18 Aaron Gossage 16 1033 46.3 22.0 USDGC
A tie in the rankings for the first time in awhile, with Cole and Alden in 12th. They have same average on the season for Elite + Major events combined.
Last update noted Barela as going up in the rankings the most with his 2nd place finish at Worlds, and in this update, he's dropping the most after taking 60th at Maple Hill. His Major average going into USDGC is among top 5. AF expects him to rise back up, but hard to tell with this one.
