Betting on golf doesn’t get much simpler than this. Only 30 men are competing at the 2009 Tour Championship, and only one of those men is Tiger Woods.
The Tour Championship is the last stop on the FedExCup trail; the list of participants has been whittled down to the Top 30 players in the points standings, and the points have been reset going into Thursday’s opening round at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
Here is your new Top 5 list:
Carl Pettersson caught fire on the back nine Sunday to win the Wyndham Championship by two shots over Scott McCarron.
Pettersson fired a closing round of two-under 68, and a final score of 21-under.
Pettersson also set new 36- and 54- hole scoring records along the way.
The big bonus for him though was winning the tournament vaulted him into the TOP 30 on the PGA tour Fed-EX cup points list.
Bob Heintz and Martin Laird both opened with rounds of seven-under-par 63 Thursday to share the lead after the opening round of the Wyndham Championship.
Behind the two of them were 4 golfers at shooting 64.
