Current rankings in the Fedex Cup standings are as follows, Zach Johnson is 4th, Lucas Glover 9th, Stewart Cink 19th and Jonathan Byrd 56th. Congratulations out to Heath Slocum who made a 21 foot putt for par on 18 Sunday at the Barclays to win and move from 124th to 3rd in Fedex Cup standings.
Final Round – Barclays
August 30, 2009 by Joy · Leave a Comment
Sunday’s final round will be another tough day at Liberty National. Three of Dr Mo’s players made a move up the leaderboard Saturday. Zach and JByrd both shot 67 and Cink shot a 71. Zach made 5 birdies in a row on the back side and is paired with Tiger for a 4th day. The last time Zach had a final round pairing with Tiger was at the 2009 Arnold Palmer Invitational which Tiger won (in the dark) and Z finished solo 3rd. Only a 30% chance of rain in the forecast, groups will be in twosomes going off one tee.
Barclays – Day 3
August 28, 2009 by Joy · Leave a Comment
Three of Dr Mo’s players, Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson and Jonathan Byrd all made the cut in the first of four Fedex Play-off events. Unfortunately, Lucas broke his driver and followed up his 75 with an 81 in tough morning conditions to miss the cut. Zach is paired with Tiger for the 3rd day in a row which will be great to watch on TV. One tidbit to share, the pairing ahead of Tiger always has the most distractions for a player due to the commotion involved with hundreds of spectators running up to get into position. Watch to see how Jason Day, Lee Janzen, and Troy Matteson handle that tomorrow. Let’s hope Tropical Storm Danny which is headed towards New York and New Jersey isn’t the main story after the third round at Barclays.
The Barclays – Day 2

Off to the second day to see who makes the cut, who’s in contention, and who’s packing the car! That’s me on the tee box, leaning on Zach’s Titleist bag. Day 1 saw both Zach and Stewart get off to rough starts (+3 within the first 5 holes) but both fought back (these two guys NEVER quit) to finish at -1 and in good position for day 2. Jbyrd had an up-and-down day but bogeys near the end caused him to finish at +1 when it looked like he might shoot under par. Lucas had a rough go of it and shot +4, but I liked what I saw in his body language near the end of the day – look for him to make a run this morning and get back into it. Enjoy your day and hopefully get to watch a lot of Zach this afternoon (he’s playing with Tiger so a lot of attention on this group)!!
