The PGA Tour's new cut policy took another quirky turn Sunday when Kenneth Ferrie withdrew and received less money than 18 guys who finished behind him, even though he qualified for the weekend and they didn't. Ferrie, the Englishman best known for playing in the final group in the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, had to withdraw Saturday because of food poisoning. He was at 4 under par and made the cut by three shots. Under Tour regulations, anyone who withdraws or is disqualified for any reason after making the cut is paid last place, unofficial prize money. Ferrie was given $8,798, but it will not be applied to the money list, and he received no FedEx Cup points.
