To their surprise and delight, Australia’s fifth PGA Championship victor proudly stated: “It’s the wedge I used all week at Whistling Straits“. It’s second only to Masters Season, which is the two weeks leading up Augusta and the tournament itself.

“The FedExCup is something I’d love to win some day“. “With my swing, with how quick everything goes, the facet joint crunches down on the disc at certain points, and once I felt that at the top of the swing, then just everything kind of fell off balance and hooked it”. Some young players are often called robotic because of how good they are. The magnitude of this tournament is still significant despite it being a non-major, and you can expect the stars to come out at the Barclays Classic and showcase their upper echelon skills.
Following the round, Spieth said after his drives, which hit an impressive 11 of 14 fairways, it was the “worst round he played in years”.
Truth be told, the past four winners of the Tour Championship have not been top-ranked players in the world, and they have a combined zero major titles. And I think we’re all waiting for Rickie (Fowler) to make the big jump.
It’s a situation that highlights just how much pressure the format places on players to keep pushing themselves right through the end of the campaign, and brings into question whether or not it can actually diminish the importance of major championships. You get nervous. You get that adrenaline.
On the negative side, it’s hard to imagine a Cameron Tringale-type hoisting the FedExCup after beginning the week as a 28 seed, and I can imagine that making some people upset.
“I put winning the FedExCup below a major championship”, Spieth said on the eve of The Barclays, which starts on Thursday at Plainfield Country Club. Lefty has had a disappointing 2015 season but all it takes is one good week to turn it around.
The 22-year-old Masters and US Open champion has the best putting average on the PGA Tour, averaging 27.1 knocks per round.
Second, I want everyone to pay attention to Brooks Koepka. From left: Jimmy Walker, Danny Lee, Zach Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day.
Jarrett R., – Egg Harbour Township, New Jersey – “What’s your favorite FedExCup moment?”
“I’d like to see a balance of really fun, entertaining golf for fans, in person and on TV, yet a really strong test for the players”, Paris said. The timing, the shot, the consequences – it was just an ideal golf shot and flawless moment for an event that needed a signature moment. But Kaymer, who added the Wyndham Championship, failed to advance. “Now having won one major, it would be nice to go on and win all four“. “I remember that moment, which meant it was pretty special to me”.
The event will resume next year. I don’t know the feeling of trying to hold No. 1 because now you’re the one with the target and everyone else is chasing towards that position. He won the tournament two years ago at Liberty National, closing with a 66 to beat Tiger Woods, Justin Rose, Graham DeLaet and Gary Woodland by a stroke.
