PGA Money List Top-10, Week 13
This week's money leaders, along with World and Fedex Cup standings
After the World Golf Championship's CA Championship at Doral, the PGA Tour Money List contains few surprises. Plus, Tiger Woods leaps back into the top-10 with his win.
1. Vijay Singh - OWGR, 7th, Fedex Cup standing, 1st - After a solid T11 at Doral, Vijay maintains his seat atop the Money List. Although not his best outing, he continues to rank 6th in birdie and scoring average.
2. Tiger Woods - OWGR, 1st, Fedex Cup standing, 3rd - Although he may not have played his best throughout, Woods defeated a fantastic field at the CA Championship this week. Statistically, he ranks first in greens in regulation, holes per eagle, sand save percentage and all-around. He's second in scoring average.
3. Charles Howell, III - OWGR, 15, Fedex Cup standing, 2nd - Howell saw a solid T16 finish at Doral this week, earning him $87,333 and keeping him solidly within the top-five. It's obvious he is playing world-class golf, but further proof is in his stats. He ranks 5th in all-around ranking, 6th in birdie average, and 7th in driving distance and scoring average.
4. Phil Mickelson - OWGR, 3rd, Fedex Cup standings, 4th - A respectable T23, even par finish at Doral was capped with a 3-under 69. An up-and-down week, beginning with a 77 on Thursday, doesn't bode well heading toward Augusta, but statistically Lefty is strong. He ranks 2nd in birdie average and all-around ranking and 6th in eagles and putting average.
5. John Rollins - OWGR, 49, Fedex Cup standing, 5th - Rollins continues his solid, if not flashy, play. He managed a respectable T28 finish this week. Aside from a 4th place all-around ranking, his stats don't look great. His consistent results (two seconds and three top-fives)prove the stats wrong.
6. Aaron Baddeley - OWGR, 25, Fedex Cup standing, 6th - In eight starts, he has a win, two top-10's, five top-25's, including a T6 at Doral. He presently ranks 9th in putting average, a good place to excel just before the Masters Tournament.
7. Geoff Ogilvy - OWGR, 8th, Fedex Cup standing, 9th - Ogilvy turned in a strong, T3 showing this week, which only added to a stellar year. In seven tournaments he has five top-25's, three top-tens, a second and a third.
8. Henrik Stenson - OWGR, 6th, Fedex Cup standing, 11th - World Match Play champion Stenson managed a respectable 19th place finish this week. Although he's made only three starts in the U.S., he still ranks third in putting average.
9. Mark Calcavecchia - OWGR, 59, Fedex Cup standing, 7th - A lackluster performance at Doral, finishing T32, was enough to keep Calc in the top-ten. Although his year so far has been filled with highs and lows, he owns some good statistics: 6th in birdie average; and 7th in total driving. His scoring average of 69.95 is enough to earn 22nd position.
10. Robert Allenby - OWGR, 17th, Fedex Cup standing, 8th - A T3 at the CA Championship this week, beating most of the best players in the world, says a lot about Allenby. In eight starts he has six top-10's. Along with Rollins, Allenby is also flying under the radar this year. He stands 3rd in birdie average, 4th in scoring average (68.74) and 9th in all-around ranking.
Sitting just outside the top-10 are Trevor Immelman, Mark Wilson, Brett Wetterich (who gained 47 spots after finishing 2nd to Tiger this week) and Paul Goydos.
29. Boo Weekley - OWGR, 116, Fedex Cup standing, 27th - Weekley was idle this week and dropped four spots on the Money List.
This week, the Tour visits the Shell Houston Open.
