Who? Yes , you’re reading correctly – Ted Purdy will be this week’s winner at TPC Boston. How can I be so sure that a guy with only one top 10 finish all year will suddenly win? Because that is the only outcome possible that can make the FedEx Playoffs more absurd!
Heath Slocum seems like a great guy and all, but how the hell does the #124 player pull a victory out of his ass, and climb all the way to #3?

The PGA will need to make some serious changes soon, or they risk having a disaster much like the BCS system in college football. The last thing we need is the field of 35 at the Tour Championship filled out with people like James Nitties, Mark Leishman, Kevin Streelman, and Scott Piercy (actual players no one has heard of, that still have a chance in the playoffs). *disclaimer: no offense to any of the players above. I’m sure they’re great guys
