Virginia Tech golfer Drew Weaver recorded his best finish ever in a PGA Tour event and narrowly missed the cut at the 2008 Wyndham Championship on Friday afternoon at the 7,117-yard, par 70 Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.

Weaver, a rising senior from High Point, N.C., fired his second consecutive one-under-par 69 and finished with a two-round total of two-under-par 138. He tied for 79th place overall and missed the cut by one stroke.

This is Weaver's fourth appearance as an amateur at a professional event of this year and it marks the first time he has finished under par for such a tournament. He was invited into the field on a sponsor's exemption.

Weaver teed off Friday afternoon on the first tee and parred his first 13 holes before bogeying the par-four 14th hole. He got back to even for the round with a birdie on far-four 17th and then finished with a birdie on the par-four 18th.

There is no rest for the weary, as Weaver is scheduled to tee off on Monday morning at 7:50 a.m., at the 2008 U.S. Amateur Championship on the historic No. 2 Course at the Pinehurst Resort and Country Club in Pinehurst, N.C. Both Sedgefield Country Club and No. 2 at Pinehurst were designed by famed golf course architect Donald Ross.
