| Money on Simpsons mind in Georgia After a two-week vacation, Webb Simpson might feel as though nothing has changed. Hes playing golf in Georgia, and all anyone can talk about is money.Only the stakes are a different this time.His most recent tournament was the Tour Championship in Atlanta, where Simpson was trying to capture a $10 million bonus at East Lake, and fell two shots short of winning the FedEx Cup. Now hes at a Fall Series event in this sleepy coastal community, with hopes of winning $68,972. Driver K15 Thats the amount he needs to earn at the McGladrey Classic to pass Luke Donald on the PGA Tour money list.Winning the PGA Tour money title - technically known as the Arnold Palmer Trophy - doesnt come with a massive bonus, although the five-year exemption on tour might come in handy. What appeals to the 26-year-old Simpson is his place in history.“Youre probably added to a list of maybe 50 guys,” Simpson said.There have been 37 players who won the PGA Tour money title dating to 1934, and it would be hard to call many of them a fluke. Ping K15 Tiger Woods won it a record nine times, followed by Jack Nicklaus eight times, with Ben Hogan and Tom Watson winning five times each.Simpson still thinks the emphasis should be placed on the FedEx Cup, which Bill Haas captured last month in winning the Tour Championship. Then again, one component of the FedEx Cup is getting hot at the right time - mainly the month after the final major - [url=www.golfbuyfr.com/Ping-G20-Bois-de-parcours-16714.html ]ping g20 [/url]while the money title also represents a years worth of good play.“Theyre probably equally as hard to win,” Simpson said.And it might be easier for him to keep track of what he has to do on the Seaside Course at Sea Island. It still requires math, only its about money instead of points. And it helps that so few people from high on the money list are playing.Simpson is the only player with a mathematical chance of catching Donald, although the McGladrey Classic has a surprisingly strong field for its second year of existence. driver g20 The tournament has nine of the top 30 players from the money list, including Matt Kuchar, David Toms, Brandt Snedeker and Vijay Singh. Bryce Molder is playing after winning his first PGA Tour event last week in the Frys.com Open, where he outlasted Briny Baird on the sixth playoff hole. Rickie Fowler also is coming off his first professional win at the Korea Open.Molder has some history at Sea Island. He played in the 2001 Walker Cup, held on the Ocean Forest course, and went unbeaten that week even though the Americans lost the cup. | |
