23 Within Four Of Deutsche Bank Lead
Usually it's a knock on a setup or course when the field isn't better separated, but as Mike McAllister points out, the TPC Boston and Deutsche Bank Championship have another great leaderboard heading into Monday's finish. And it's not just all bombers.
Twenty-three others are within four or fewer shots of the lead. Their credentials are impressive. Among them are the current FedExCup leader; the regular-season FedExCup leader; the reigning FedExCup champ; the world's top-ranked player; the field's most celebrated star; the reigning Masters champ; a couple of other past major winners; and a player who was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame earlier this year.
There are bombers (like Gary Woodland), ball-strikers (like Zach Johnson) and putters (like Nick Watney). There are "old fellows" like Jerry Kelly and flashy youngsters like Rickie Fowler. There are plenty of Americans but also four Australians, two South Africans, an Englishman and a Swede.
At this point, resumes may be more important than numbers.
"I don't think the scores are relevant," said one of the Aussies, Geoff Ogilvy. "I think the people up there are the relevant thing. Every single year, it's exactly the same thing -- the best players on TOUR play well here."
