The Lucky Losers

I have compared the Moneyleader list to the Fed Ex Cup Tour Championship list. The result - Here are the four lucky losers who got into the Tour Championship based on the Fed Ex Cup points that aren't in the top 30 on the Moneyleader list:

Jonathan Byrd
Tim Clark
Camillo Villegas
Heath Slocum

Who did they replace?

Luke Donald
David Toms
Henrik Stenson
Jerry kelly

When was the last time someone from the last 6 spots won the Tour Championship?

I predict the winner of the Tour Championship won't be Tiger Woods. He never plays that tournament which means he either doesn't like the course, or he gets his butt handed to him on that course. The course is a par 70 and Tiger doesn't play par 70s well.

As for the "Race for the Fed Ex Cup" - it looks like a race between three people: Tiger, Steve Stricker and Phil Mickelson. I hope Stricker wins it. He's the only one of the three who deserves it. He's played all three events leading up to the Tour Championship and I haven't yet seen a whining quote from him. If he plays all four tournaments and wins, then he should get more respect than anyone else on tour, definitely including Tiger.
