ATLANTA – Davis Love III and his cast of thousands may not share the same sentiment, but thank goodness for Sunday’s final Ryder Cup captain’s pick.
Otherwise, the first Sunday of fall would have all the excitement of the 2008 finale when all Vijay Singh needed to do was not trip on his way to the first tee in order to collect the $10 million FedEx Cup jackpot.
Despite the PGA Tour’s most creative minds and a points reset that trimmed Dustin Johnson’s lead in the season-long race from 986 points after the BMW Championship to 200, the outcome at East Lake, for both the Tour Championship hardware and the FedEx fortunes, is as predictable as traffic in Atlanta.
