Bamford Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings have reached the PGA Tour finale - the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Since 2010 the winner this week has also won the season-long FedEx Cup and a cool combined $11.5 million. East Lake is the kind of traditional course, where liberties can't be taken. So hitting fairways helps here and ball-striking really is critical. The course features Bermudagrass green surfaces - a serious change from the past 3 tournaments - and as well as strong ball-striking look for players who can also scramble well. Yes Sergio Garcia wouldn't be a bad shout! A stern Par 70, the course could be receptive after plenty of rain last week and thunderstorm potential from Wednesday onwards. If the rain misses the course though, things will firm-up majorly for the weekend. I'm going for 3 players in the 30-man field - Jordan Spieth (11/2) - in my mind he's been the winner of the FEC since the PGA Champiomship. Justin Rose (16/1) who is finding form at the right time and who has a superb course record. For a longer-shot Garcia has legs, but I have gone for Webb Simpson (50/1). 2 back-door top 10s across the Northern Trust and the BMW Championship, the 2013 U.S. Open champion has a 4th and 5th here plus finally he has got his head around the putter after seasons of struggling since the belly-putter was banned. Hitting fairways for fun, and Number 1 for Scrambling from the Rough, if he can hit enough greens, I think he can feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Watching the first round, thought Dustin Johnson did well to finish on 2 under as drove the ball terrible and putting was average Each Way @ 9-1 [4 places,1/5] Skybet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
