The first event of the 2014 PGA Tour happened over the last four days at CordeValle in San Ramon, California. October 10-13 were the first dates for the 2014 schedule. The field resembled a […]

The Back 9: Edition 4
Winning the first FedEx playoff event on the PGA Tour last Sunday has put Adam Scott squarely into contention for Player of the Year honors.
