In Golf, Being No. 1 Does Not Mean Being No. 1 That Week

NORTON, Mass. — Good news for the PGA Tour. The battle for No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking is so confounding that no one is complaining about all the points and projections of the FedEx Cup.

Give it time. The FedEx Cup still has two tournaments left before it awards $10 million to a player who might not have had the best year. Or might not win at all.

The world ranking?

That will be cleared up soon enough. For the moment, this is as bizarre as it has ever been.

Jordan Spieth made history Tuesday, just not the variety he would have wanted.
