ATLANTA -- Here at East Lake Golf Club, the course Bobby Jones once called home, Sunday's final round of the Tour Championship offers a chance for someone to make significant history of their own.So who's up to the task?
Jim Furyk, Retief Goosen, Luke Donald come on down. And, just to keep it interesting, you too, Paul Casey.
Actually, it's a lot like Little League -- there's plenty of trophies to go around. Or some player could be selfishly greedy and leave with everything.
With so many stories within the story, it's hard to keep track of what exactly what is a likely result.
"A lot can happen," Goosen said, following Saturday's 66. "Nobody really knows who's going to win it yet."
There is brilliance in the simplicity of Goosen's insight.
First, but not necessarily foremost, is the tournament title that most likely will be worth far more than the already sizable $1.35 million first prize. That's because also to be decided is the FedEx Cup playoff bonus of $10 million. In addition, Sunday's finish will greatly influence PGA Tour's Player of the Year balloting -- a result of no one so far having done much of anything to truly distinguish themselves.
Gentlemen, start your lob wedges. It's time to earn those millions.
