Runner-up finish in Spain Schmid shot a one-under 71 in the final round to finish in solo second place at the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucia Masters. Impact Schmid came into the final round with the lead, but just didn't have quite enough to hold off an incredible round of Adrian Meronk, who bested the German by one shot. Schmid played a full season on the PGA Tour this year, but only was able to post three top-25 finishes. He sits 148th in the FedExCup Fall and needs to get inside the Top 125 to earn full playing status in 2024. That being said, this runner-up moves him up to 70th on the DP World Tour and in position to lock up full status on that tour for next year. His choice of tour over these last few events should tell us what his plans are for 2024.
