Hereâs a a good piece from Larry Dorman on the PGA Tour site about the various scenarios that might unfold today to decide the Fed Ex Cup.
By moving into the first-place tie with six birdies and the 31-year-old Snedeker has put the battle for the FedExCup and the TOUR Championship into critical focus for himself, for golf fans, and for McIlroy and Tiger Woods -- the other remaining contenders from the original top five with legitimate chances to win it all.
Rose, who came in at 24th in the FedExCup points race, is realistic enough to realize his chances are slim at the FedExCup -- he would have to get the discussion started by winning the TOUR Championship and McIlroy would have to finish worse than 17th .
