JERSEY CITY N.J. -- Erik Van Rooyen got his first Tour win two weeks ago at the Barracuda Championship and now is in contention to win a FedExCup playoff event after a Day 3 62 has him third at The Northern Trust.
But it hasn't been smooth sailing for Rooyen this season. He withdrew from the '20 Masters with a back injury and after returning in January, he didn't make any noise on Tour for three months. Then after three top-20 finishes, he missed four straight cuts in May - reaching his boiling point at the PGA Championship when he destroyed a tee marker in a tantrum.
