Graeme Gordon Leads Points Race but Needs One More Cash
Graeme Gordon
At the GOP Player of the Series race, Graeme Gordon currently leads the points standings, but he has yet to meet the eligibility requirements.
Players must record at least three cashes in point-generating events to qualify for the title, and Gordon currently has only cashed twice.
Player of the Series Crown
With the festival approaching its final days, one more qualifying cash could put him in prime position to claim the crown.
Currently, only four players have qualified with side event multi-winner Joichi Fukui leading the race.
