Presuming that no one on the outside makes a strong move with a first or second place finish, the story is quite simple. If Sexton beats Johansen, Sexton is in The Eight. If Johansen beats Sexton by two positions (eg, MJ’s 6th to Sexton’s 8th), then Johansen gets the final spot. Things get a little interesting if Johansen beats Sexton by one as they would be tied and we would have a very exciting tie-breaker on our hands.
Who has the advantage? On Tour, Johansen has a 2nd, 5th, and 18th, missing the Majestic. Sexton has a 8th, 2nd, and 12th, missing the Silver Cup. There are two ways to predict who will win this battle: Flip a coin, or wait until Discraft’s Green Mountain Championship.
Can they both get in? It is possible, but they would need to go 1-2 and James Conrad (12th, 4th, 9th, 8th) would need to finish 5th or worse. It is interesting that Conrad, Sexton and Johansen have all played equally well on tour. Conrad has the advantage of having played each event and therefore has a 22 point lead, and a fairly secure spot in The Eight.
