FedEx Cup Update w/ Eb

Fedex Cup             


         The PGA Tour's FedEx Cup season is off to an ecstatic start.  As the west coast run of tourneys is nearing its end, we have seen some amazing golf so far.  To start off, all I can say is Tiger. Is. Back.  Whether you like him or not, it’s great for the game overall to have El Tigre back on the course tearing and swearing it up.  We’ve seen a couple of rising stars in the game with Patton Kizzire and Patrick Cantlay turning heads so far, with Kizzire winning two tournaments and Cantlay one.  Kizzire is currently sitting on top of the Cup standings with 1247 points, while Dustin Johnson is a ways behind in second with 952 points.  We saw an exciting finish at the Farmers Insurance Open when the former world #1, Jason Day outlasted the surging Swede, Alex Noren in playoff holes to get his first win in what seems like ages.  Recently, Bubba Watson came back from the golf graveyard and somehow managed to not choke away a win at the Genesis Open.  I found myself wondering if I would ever say these words again but, I think that Bubs is back and going to make some more noise this season.  Don’t forget the ol' lefty vet Phil Mickelson still has some gas left in the tank and the youngsters like Jordan, Justin and Rickie are just getting warmed up.  Should be a fun one this season, and we look forward to more “in-the-hole’s” and “mashed potatoes” as we charge onward!

Cheers,
