Four Australians battle for starts at Tour Championship
Adam Scott currently in 46th, he and the other Australians need good weeks to make it to Atlanta
Five Australians remain with hopes of securing some of the riches available in the final event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the Tour Championship in Atlanta, but, before they do, four of them must ensure they get there and in order to do so they will need to be inside the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings at the completion of this week’s BMW Championship in Wilmington in Delaware.
One of the five, Cameron Smith, is already assured of being in Atlanta but because he is struggling with a recurring hip injury he has decided to sit out this week’s event. Smith is currently 3rd in the FedEx Cup standings.
The other four, Adam Scott, Lucas Herbert, Cameron Davis and Marc Leishman all have work to do if this is not to be their last event of the 2021/ 2022 PGA Tour.
Scott begins the week in 46th place but his most recent form is encouraging in terms of reaching the Tour Championship once again, having won the event in 2006 and been a regular in the field since.
Herbert (53rd) has yet to play the Tour Championship and in fact has yet to play this event having only just secured his PGA Tour card when winning in Bermuda late last year and in the early part of the 2021/2022 season.
Cameron Davis (50th) too is striving to reach the Tour Championship for the first occasion although he did play this event last year, albeit at another venue. Davis continues to play well of late having finished inside the top 20 in each of his last five PGA Tour starts.
Marc Leishman (66th) has been a regular at the Tour Championship since first making the field in his rookie year and will play the BMW Championship, an event he has won and finished runner-up in previously.
