Final Round: Who is Playing in 07?

Sunday's final round of the Chrysler Championship will make or break the dreams of many golfers fighting to remain on the PGA Tour. To qualify for a fully exempt card for the 2007 season, players must be in the top 125 spots on the TOUR's money list. Only 6 players in the 120-140th spots made the cut this weekend. In addition to those 6 players playing this weekend, 160th place Paul Goydos is currently in contention, needing to make $300,000 to play next season. A quick summary of those on the bubble:
Players from 120th to 130th:
-120-Shane Bertsch-T53 after Saturday, will keep card with decent Sunday finish
-121-Mathias Gronsberg-MC-Will remain on the bubble based on how many players finish well
-122-Paul Azinger-T53-Made cut and should take his card for next season, conditional status in 2006
