Griffin Dahmen's season spent months waiting for one position big enough to change its direction. Argentina finally supplied it.
Its 62-point return drove the World Cup card to 127, 29th place and 221.5 placement points. That was the counterweight to a 26-point October slip that finished 221st and a Golf card worth 280.5 and 204th, including just 5.1 at The Open.
Survivor's 48th gave the rescue a little support. The late soccer strike lifted Dahmen 14 places, but the total stopped at 1071 and the rank at 190th. One card altered the trajectory, not the destination.
