The top two players in the world both had important wins Sunday at The Tour Championship at East Lake.
Tiger won the season long Fed Ex Cup Championship and added another 10 million to the Bank of Tiger. There is a pattern forming. If he putts well, he wins. If he doesn't putt well, he finishes second, or at worse, in the top 10.
Phil played ridiculous golf the last three rounds firing 67, 66, and 65. His putting lesson with Dave Stockton obviously worked as he drained many long putts throughout the week. Even more amazing was the fact that he made a snowman during the opening round. Had he just made par there, he would have won the tournament by seven strokes.
Phil took home 1.35 million for the tournament victory and 3 million for finishing second overall in the Fed Ex Cup.
The Fed Ex Cup 2009 worked out pretty well, but with the crazy point system it will need to be tweaked again for next year.
