The tour moves on to Indiana at Crooked Stick GC, Carmel, IN  with a purse of $8,500,000. Big money is still available in these playoff tournaments. This is also a no cut tournament.

A couple of golfers come to mind with the information we have current state

DJ is due for a another big tourney, with the weight of a major off of his shoulders he can pay freely and let his ability shine.   Side note:  He seems like a player where having a family will help his game.  

Adam Scott - Finished last week STRONG tied with Rory in the final round and won 2 tourneys this year.  I think he has a few years left tops, ~2 but........  Could get close to 20 before it's said and done....

Would love for Howell III to win this tourney, supreme golfer but can't put 4 18's together.

Not counting Kuchar out of this one.  7516 is a bit much but I like Matt for my sleeper to at least get into the top 5 (in the tourney)

And of course there is Rory, he might end up being the streakiest golfer every to play when it's all said and done, he is my favorite to win this tourney.

If I never play another Pete Dye course it will be too soon.

DJ seems to have this thing wrapped up, unless Casey comes on strong.  I just don't see Casey as a finisher......  

This may wrap up player of the year for DJ, 3 wins and a major.  I believe Day has 3 wins with a Players...   DJ get's it

I realize with the wet conditions, that scores were going to be lower. However I can't help be be a little disappointed that Crooked Stick is not challenging the players a little more. Just seems like most of the players are picking it apart.

Jason Day carted off with back issues.  Just hoping he is back for Tour Championship!

I cannot believe Stenson and Fowler are out for next week

I was really hoping for a local golfer(lives in DFW area now) to make the Tour Championship.  Ryan Palmer came in tied for fourth.  One shot lower and he makes it to Atlanta.  The announcers were talking about the putts that he needed to make on the last three holes to get in, but ultimately it comes down to playing 72 holes without screwing off a shot here or there.  Ryan made bogey on a par five Saturday after a really good tee ball and not really a bad second shot.  Not going to Atlanta cost him about $300K.  Dustin Johnson is amazing when he is on.  Also would like to point out that when his young son ran out to him today during the post tournament interview is the first time I can recall seeing Dustin put on a big smile.
