Tiger Woods didn’t win the BMW Championship but he did what was needed to regain the number one spot in the FedEx Cup yesterday at Conway Farms.
Woods takes the FedEx Cup lead because previous number one Henrik Stenson finished T33 and previous number two Adam Scott finished T28 and neither got the points they needed to overcome Woods’ T11 finish.
Woods was average on Monday in an even-par 71 – he made three birdies and three bogeys in his final round – but the real goal was to re-assume the number one spot as the playoffs turn to East Lake.
He did this handily and will now have 2 500 points as the Tour Championship starts. Stenson will have 2 250 as the golfer in second place and Scott will have 2 000 as the golfer in third.
