BACK TO THE FUTURE: Spieth wins FedEx Cup, reminds us that it was HIS year

By Stephanie Wei under FedEx Cup

Jordan Spieth capped an unforgettable season with a four-shot victory at the Tour Championship to fittingly secure the FedEx Cup title. At the rain-soaked East Lake GC, Spieth posted an one-under 69 in the final round to card a tournament total of nine-under.

It was always meant to end this way — with Spieth reclaiming the world no. 1 ranking and winning the FedEx Cup. After all, it was his year/season; he played the best with the most consistency. Jason Day momentarily took over Spieth’s spotlight with his impressive victory at the PGA Championship, along with wins at two of the four playoff events, The Barclays and the BMW Championship, not to mention reaching no. 1 for the first time in his career.

Prank war alert: Rickie Fowler and Danny Lee spice up the Tour Championship

One may easily be misled to believe that the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship — or more notably, the $10 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup — but here’s a little-known secret: It’s one of the most lax events of the year and it really only gets somewhat suspenseful on the back nine on Sunday. Otherwise, it starts out mind-numbingly low and kind of feels like an exhibition with only 30 players (or 28 this year due to Jim Furyk and Louis Oosthuizen withdrawing due to injuries) in the field.

Rory + Jordan = Jason?

Jason Day is one of the media’s favorites in the interview room. He doesn’t mince words and at least one in three of his press conferences are what I consider epic. Day, who reached the world no. 1 ranking after capturing his fifth title of the year and fourth in his last six starts at last week’s BMW Championship, was in top form in his pre-Tour Championship meeting with the media on Wednesday at East Lake.
