SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. \u2013 Joel Dahmen\u2019s emotionally-charged conclusion to last year\u2019s season left an indelible impression on golf fans.<\/p>\n<p>After making a nervy 5-footer to survive the cut at the RSM Classic, he tied for 35th in the event, just enough to finish 124th in FedExCup points.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s in a similarly precarious spot this year at No. 117 on the points list entering the season\u2019s final event. But top 125 is no longer good enough to earn full status. Instead, he\u2019ll need at least a two-way tie for sixth at Sea Island to crack the new threshold of top 100.<\/p>\n<p>Dahmen, however, has a different perspective this year when it comes to his professional prospects. He didn\u2019t play last week\u2019s penultimate Tour stop in Bermuda. He stayed home with his wife, Lona, who gave birth to the couple\u2019s second child on Saturday, a son named Dawson.<\/p>\n<p>During Wednesday\u2019s pro-am at the RSM Classic, Dahmen said the new addition to the family combined with the rigors of playing tour golf have helped temper his expectations this fall.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll need something even more special than last year to keep his card for 2026. But if that doesn\u2019t happen, he will have conditional status, which should be good enough for 10 to 15 starts next season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
