EDISON, N.J. — In what is supposed to be a chaotic chase for big money in the FedEx Cup, Ryan Palmer is finding a small measure of solace on the golf course.
It's a reminder that it's a game he gets to play for a living. And it's a chance to take his mind off the man who introduced him to golf.
Palmer's father, Butch, was killed last week just north of Amarillo, Texas, when he lost control of his SUV and was thrown from the vehicle when it rolled several times. His 71-year-old father died at the scene.
