GOLF Horschel caps amazing run with FedEx Cup By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 14, 2014 @ 5:31 pm By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 14, 2014 @ 5:31 pm » Social News ATLANTA — Billy Horschel capped off the best three weeks of his career with the biggest payoff in golf. Horschel pulled away from a self-destructing Rory McIlroy early, and then holed two clutch putts that felt like $10 million to hold off Jim Furyk on the back nine at East Lake. He closed with a 2-under 68 for a three-shot victory in the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup. Horschel’s career earnings were just over $4.5 million coming into the year. He collected $11.4 million in one day — most of that the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus — with an incomparable run through the playoffs. The 27-year-old from Florida was runner-up in Boston, a winner in Denver and he cashed in big in Atlanta. Horschel was No. 69 when the playoffs began a month ago. No one had ever won the FedEx Cup starting lower than No. 19. He epitomized what these playoffs offered — one month for anyone to get a hot hand. Horschel shot in the 60s his last 12 rounds. “He was clutch when he needed to be,” McIlroy said. “He played the best golf this week and I’m happy for him.” The only boos Horschel heard all day was doing the Gator chomp walking off the 18th green before a host of Georgia fans. The timing was great for Horschel — not so much for the American team going over to the Ryder Cup in two weeks. U.S. captain Tom Watson made his three picks after Horschel’s runner-up finish in the Deutsche Bank Championship. Now the hottest hand in golf — he should move up to No. 14 in the world — will be watching from home. Horschel figures to be plenty occupied. His wife is expecting their first child, a girl, in two weeks. Furyk closed with two bogeys for a 69 and his fourth runner-up finish this year. He has not won since the Tour Championship four years ago. McIlroy never recovered from three straight bogeys around the turn, and three late birdies only helped him pick up some FedEx Cup cash. He closed with a 71 and wound up No. 3 in the FedEx Cup, which is worth an additional $2 million. Chris Kirk, who started the Tour Championship atop the FedEx Cup standings, closed with a 68 and tied for fourth with Justin Rose (69) and Jason Day (69). Kirk wound up second in the FedEx Cup and earned a $3 million bonus. Horschel finished at 11-under 269. Web.com Tour At Columbus, Ohio, Justin Thomas won the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship for his first Web.com Tour title, beating Richard Sterne with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff after Sterne blew a late three-stroke lead. Thomas hit a wedge from 79 yards to 2 feet to set up his winning birdie on the par-4 18th. Sterne missed a birdie putt after leaving his approach 20 feet short and right. Playing the four-event Web.com Tour Finals for PGA Tour priority after wrapping up a tour card with a top-25 finish on the Web.com regular-season money list, Thomas earned $180,000 to jump from fifth to third with $470,470 with one event left. Evian Championship At Evian-Les-Bains, France, South Korean teenager Hyo-Joo Kim beat Australian veteran Karrie Webb by one shot to win the Evian Championship and become the third youngest major winner at 19 years, 2 months. Kim trailed the 39-year-old Webb by one shot heading into the final hole. But she turned the tables with a superb birdie from 12 feet out, and Webb then missed a chance to force a playoff when a difficult attempt for par from the same distance drifted left of the hole. Kim led Webb by one shot overnight and they both posted 3-under rounds of 68 in perfect playing conditions, with no clouds or wind to disrupt them. Webb was looking to win her eighth career major and first since Kraft Nabisco in 2006.
