Underdogs Who Could Win the FedEx Cup
Justin Rose
Justin Rose has developed into one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour, and that should translate into a great finish in the FedEx Cup standings.
Not only has Rose played well at the Deutsche Bank Championship this week, he also had ย a great performance at last weekโs Barclays (tied for second place) and a monumental win at the U.S. Open. There is little doubt that he is also a threat to win the BMW Championship.
The scoring resets after next weekโs tournament, so while Rose may be out of reach for the win right now, his momentum and stellar play leading into the final stretch of the season is a great omen for a possible FedEx title.
Graham Delaet
There are many golf fans who donโt know much about Canadian star Graham Delaet, but with stellar play at this weekendโs tournament and consistent play over the 2013 season, he is in serious contention to steal the show in the FedEx standings.
Delaet doesnโt have the wins that many others on the leaderboard boast; he hasnโt had a victory on the PGA Tour yet. However, with six top-10 finishes and consistent play, he is ready to prove himself as one of the best players in the world.
With a strong finish to The Barclays last week (tied for second place) and another quality showing at the Deutsche Bank, golf fans canโt underestimate Delaet any longer.
