Journeyman pro Ben Silverman was out … then in … then out … then in … and now out again at the Austin Championship.
The 38-year-old Canadian grabbed a spot in the field Sunday off the alternate list when Matt Wallace withdrew from the event. But then when Alvaro Ortiz carded a top-10 at the World Wide Technology Championship, he took Silverman’s spot. Another WD later Sunday by Harry Hall, however, gave Silverman new life again, only for him to have to turn that down when he WD’d himself. It’s unclear exactly why Silverman took himself out of the mix; he’s currently 117th on the FedEx Cup points after finishing T-3, T-19 and T-33 the last three weeks on tour. With just two events remaining on the PGA Tour schedule, including Austin, time is running out if he wants to keep his card for 2027.
