FedEx Cup: Rickie Fowler still hoping for FedEx Cup victory
Let’s not forget the vertigo that cruelled his chances at the US Open, the back and thumb injuries that he saddled to other high finishes in majors. That not only wrapped up his European Tour card, it paid just over $300,000 (211,332 pounds).
The Web.Com Tour plays its penultimate event of the 2015 season when the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship is played at the Ohio State University’s Scarlet Course in Columbus in Ohio. I feel like I’m slowly getting back to where I want to be, especially ball-striking wise. “Yeah, I would still wait until this week is over before I would put in my final vote on that”. “I want to win as many tournaments as I can”. That’s right, Furyk’s WD sank most of my lineups even though I had the victor and solo second finish in my lineups. “It’s not going to last forever, so I may as well do it quickly”.
Still, he remains second in the FedEx Cup point standings, meaning he is guaranteed to take home the Cup if he wins the Tour Championship this week.
He’s No.1 in the world. It was a dream of Day’s for many of years.
Jason Day is determined to enjoy an extended stay at the top of the world rankings after reaching the summit following last week’s win at the BMW Championship. He also sets up nice this week as he is top 20 in GIR Percentage, and top 10 in SG:T2G, Par 4 Scoring, and Birdie Average. The top 5 in the points standings coming into this tournament control their own destiny and would hoist the FedEx Cup with a win this week.
Any of the 29 players in the field in Atlanta – Jim Furyk has withdrawn with a wrist injury – can win the USD10million bonus for lifting the overall FedEx Cup title, but only the top five are assured of doing so by winning at East Lake.
You probably have chose to go with Day, Spieth, McIlroy, Henrik Stenson or Rickie Fowler, but you may not be sure about the names in the final two or three spots on your roster.
Asked to assess his season, McIlroy said, “Interesting”.
Part of him wonders if he’s due for that to happen.
After jumping out to a big lead after the first round of the BMW Championship at Conway Farms, Day cruised to the title, winning for the fourth time in six starts and retaining No. 1 in the Fed Ex Cup.
“Jordan is sort of like Jack, methodical and he does everything that way”, McIlroy said Wednesday. If they win the tournament, they are the Fed Ex Cup champion.
The 27-year-old Australian also had top-10 finishes at the British and U.S. Opens – a T9 at the latter after fighting vertigo at Chambers Bay. It’s an unbeatable combination, as the victories attest. The Tour Championship has been at East Lake every year since 2004.
Or at least he thought he did.
The Player of the Year issue is open and shut to McIlroy. Who am I or who are they to tell you that you shouldn’t be able to do something. It doesn’t make me angry.
Rory McIlroy, last year’s victor , didn’t forget.
Well, Ladies & Gents, the Tour Championship is finally upon us!!!
Kisner has been underrated all season, but he has the game to give the best players on the tour a run for the championship here.
