Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

It’s over!

August
26

The Barclays, the first-ever PGA playoff event has concluded. The event gave the fans all they could possibly want as big names covered the leaderboard all week and provided plenty of drama down the stretch.

No one gave this tournament away, but rather one player, Steve Stricker, won it. By birdieing the final three holes, Stricker clearly earned his first PGA Tour victory since the 2001 Accenture World Match Play Championship and his first stroke-play win since 1996.

With the win, Stricker is now No. 1 on the FedExCup points list. K.J. Choi is in 2nd place followed by Rory Sabbatini and uh oh, Tiger Woods. The world’s No. 1 player decided not to play this week, but is still in good shape to win this first ever FedExCup, especially since those right behind him like Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk failed to hop past him.

Still, with three players in front of him and players like Singh, Furyk and Phil Mickelson right on his heels, Tiger will have to play well in the next three events to capture the PGA’s first ever playoff.

Does anyone out there honestly believe he won’t win it though?

A sports reporter at The Journal News for nearly three years, Alex Myers has covered a bit of everything, but a lot of golf, ranging from the high school level to last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot. His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
