Like any other self-respecting golf fan, Joe Tomek was glued to the final round of the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday.
Tomek watched an exciting battle among PGA stars Rory McIlroy, Tony Finau and Justin Thomas, with McIlroy eventually coming out on top. But as the new executive director of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Tomek also had a keen interest in what was going on further down the money list.
“Great leaderboard with Rory, Justin and Tony duking it out,” he said. “They cut to a player on the back nine about to hit his approach shot and they referenced the fact that he’s sitting at 127th in the FedEx Cup points system. And they talked about the fact that he’s trying to earn enough points to put himself in the top 125 and make it to the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
