Below-par Graeme McDowell refusing to hit panic button

Graeme McDowell refused to hit the FedEx Cup panic button and insisted he was already looking forward to the 2017-18 season before missing the cut in the US PGA at Quail Hollow.

The former US Open champion added a 76 to his opening 73 to finish on seven over par and miss his sixth cut of the year.

As a result, the 38-year old goes into next week’s Wyndham Championship needing a big finish to make the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings who qualify for first playoff event in New York later this month.
