PGA Results: 2013 FedEx Cup Playoffs (Round One)

PGA Tour FedEx Cup Playoffs Round One The Barclays, Liberty National Golf Club, Jersey City, NJ Round one of the FedEx Cup playoffs is complete and Tiger Woods still holds the lead. But Adam Scott is close, after coming away with a rather unexpected victory. The leaders Sunday consisted of many big names, except for Scott. Tiger Woods, Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland were all close. Kuchar’s game left him entirely Sunday, nearly to the point where he just laughed. Woods’s back went into spasms around the 12th tee and he made a valiant effort to finish one back despite the sharp pains which brought him to his knees after one shot. Gary Woodland had the lead and should have won the tournament. But he could only manage a 73, leaving the door open for any of roughly 7-8 players who were within 1-2 shots of the lead. Adam Scott took advantage. Scott fired a final round 66. Finishing at -11, he figured the tournament was over and that one of the race horses playing behind him would surely reach -12 or more. One by one he watched them falter. Both Woods and Woodland had chances to force a playoff by making a birdie on the finishing hole, but neither could convert. Scott’s victory became official as he was staying loose on the practice range, in the event there was a playoff. It isn’t know just yet if Woods will play for round two of the playoffs. Champions Tour Boeing Classic TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, Snoqualmie, WA For the 2nd time in as many weeks, the Champions Tour has produced a first time winner. John Riegger fired rounds of 69-64-68 to edge out John Cook by two shots and Fred Couples by four shots at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. LPGA Tour Canadian Women’s Open Royal Mayfair Golf Club, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Lydia Ko made history this week on the LPGA Tour with a victory at the Canadian Women’s Open.
