You might remember my
previous rants on Jim Furyk, who was disqualified from the first FedEx Cup playoff tournament for oversleeping and arriving late for the Wednesday pro-am. Yesterday in Atlanta, Furyk slammed the door on that memory, winning the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup title (and $11.35 million in combined prize money) despite last month's disqualification.
That he made the (very valuable) clinching putt with his hat turned backwards, rolling it with a used putter that he bought three weeks ago for $39 at Joe & Leigh's Discount Golf Pro Shop in Easton, Mass. just makes the whole thing that much more fantastic.
So congratulations to Furyk for bucking up and making the best of what could have been a bad situation. With the Ryder Cup coming up this weekend in Wales, let's hope Furyk can use that same magic to carry the U.S. team.
