Phil Officially Has Tiger's Number Head to Head

Dustin Johnson Breaks Final Round Curse in BMW Triumph
It was an ominous statistic: Dustin Johnson's final round scoring average. The figure put him near the bottom of the barrel on the PGA Tour.

What Will Phil Do Next? Try Chipping on the Green for Eagle
Phil Mickelson was facing an eagle try on the 15th hole at Cog Hill in his first round of the BMW Championship.

Vijay Singh is four complete rounds at East Lake away from winning $10 million ($9 million of it in cash) as the winner of the second FedEx Cup Playoffs on the PGA Tour.
