EAST LAKE REBOUNDS FOR FEDEX PLAYOFF FINALE

Rain is receding as the top 30 players in the FEDEX Cup playoffs have tried their best to stay dry at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.   The Tour Championship is the last of the four FEDEX Cup playoff events.   Weather will be a factor as more then eleven inches of rain has fallen at East Lake Golf Club .  The golf course re-opened Tuesday and the new sub air system has done it’s job quickly drying off the course to make it playable.  Rain continues to be in the forecast. 

Below are the three scenario’s of what needs to happen for each of Dr Mo’s 3 players in this weeks field to win the FEDEX Cup and the $10-million bonus. 

• Zach Johnson ranked 4th is guaranteed to win the FEDEX Cup if he wins the Tour Championship.  Zach won twice in 2009, the Sony Open and Valero Texas Open.  Zach has won a total of three times in the state of Georgia, recently moved to Georgia and shot a 60 in the Tour Championship at East Lake in 2007. 
• Lucas Glover ranked 20th must win the Tour Championship.  Tiger Woods must finish no better then 13th, Steve Stricker must finish no better then 5th, Zach Johnson, Heath Slocum and Padraig Harrington must finish 3rd or worse.  Lucas Glover won the 2009 US Open, has had four top ten finishes in 2009 and tied for 8th at the 2006 Tour Championship.
