The field is off and running in this second of the FedExCup Playoff series.
The TPC Boston is another tough track that is not exactly
Brian Gay's cup of tee -- pun intended!
-- but he'll be grinding all the way (as usual). A win or very high finish here is about his only hope of making the President's Cup team. Captain
Freddie Couples has all but said he is going with
Lucas Glover and
Hunter Mahan. Lucas was a pretty easy call: He is next in line in the FedExCup rankings and is, after all, the reigning U.S. Open Champion.
Hunter is a bit more problematic, at least from my perspective. He ranks behind BG in pre-playoff eligibility (13th vs. 12th); behind him in FedExCup Playoff points (15th vs. 8th); behind him in Official Money (by $320,484 / #14 vs. #10); behind him in victories for the year (as in
zero versus
two of the most dominating); and regarding current level of play, behind him last week at The Barclays (T-20 vs. T-12). But, who's counting, right? It "is what it is".
After an 8:28 a.m. start on #10, BG is even through five.
