A surprise and very special guest made an appearance on Sunday for the final round of The Barclays. None other than Donald Trump, who will be the first to tell you he’s leading the GOP Presidential Candidate polls.
From the sounds of it, Trump, who was on-site for a meeting with PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, was the actual main attraction at Plainfield Country Club in New Jersey — despite Australian Jason Day’s impressive runaway victory.
Despite skipping this week’s Barclays, the first of four legs of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs, Rory McIlroy can return to the top of the world rankings. Which seems completely bizarre (actually, not really given the system) since McIlroy isn’t teeing it up competitively this week, but that’s the way the OWGR math works out, according to Golf Channel.
What was Nos. 13 and 14 at Plainfield on Sunday
There was never a doubt the PGA Tour made the right call by cutting The Barclays, the first leg of the FedExCup playoffs, to a 54-hole contest with Hurricane Irene headed for the Eastern seaboard. Further validation came via pictures after Plainfield Country Club endured Irene’s fury of rain overnight Saturday and Sunday morning.
