Tournament Notes
Defending champion Tiger Woods is sidelined with a knee injury. The purse is $7 million, with $1.26 million to the winner. The par-70 East Lake Golf Club measures 7,300 yards. Zach Johnson holds the competitive course record of 60. This event is considered to be a victory lap for Vijay Singh, who has a wide lead in the FedEx Cup.
−The Armchair Golfer
This is the most anticlimactic tournament in the history of golf. Horrible timing following the dramatics of last week’s Ryder Cup.
Agreed.
You’re right, gentlemen, but still I wanna know if García is gonna have a little revenge…
It’s looking a little more dramatic midway through the final round. Kim, Garcia, Mickelson and Villegas all have a chance.
