BUBBA, LOUIS READY FOR PRESIDENTS CUP

World #4 Bubba Watson and #12Louis Oosthuizen will represent

their United States and International teams, respectively, at the Presidents Cup, Oct. 8-11, in South Korea. It will be the second Presidents Cup for both players. Sunday’s Deutsche Bank

Championship was the last tournament where players could earn points.

Bubba’s place was certainly not in doubt after two years of consistent success, especially during 2015 when points were doubled. This season he’s won twice and had three second-place fi nishes among eight top 10’s,

pushing his earnings past $6.3 million.

Oosthuizen’s 2015 season has been one of his best, highlighted by T2 fi nishes at both the Open Championship and the U.S. Open, among six top 10’s. He has climbed to 12th in the Offi cial World Golf Ranking, up from 45th at the end of 2014.

MAHAN STREAK ALIVE

Relying on new i irons, Hunter Mahan came through with the clutch performance he

needed at the Deutsche Bank Championship to remain the only player to compete in every tournament in FedExCup Playoffs history.

His T4 (spurred by a third-round 64) put him safely among the top 70 who will move on to the third leg of the playoffs, Sept. 17-20, at the BMW Championship. He made the biggest points leap of anyone in the fi eld, 39 places, from 91st before the Deutsche Bank, all the way to 52nd afterward. It will be his 35th-straight FedExCup tournament. See his What’s in the Bag on the next page.

HUNTER MAHAN RELIED ON THE NEW i IRONS TO ADVANCE IN THE FedExCup PLAYOFFS.

Bubba Watson was captured in a rare solitary moment amid the frenzy of the FedExCup Playoffs at the Deutsche Bank Championship. But he’ ll have plenty of company from PING pros during the third leg of the playoffs at the BMW Championship, Sept. 17-20. Bubba is fi fth in points and will be joined at the BMW, in order of their ranking, by Daniel Summerhays (who has consecutive top 10s in the playoffs), Louis Oosthuizen, David Lingmerth, Hunter Mahan and defending FedExCup champion Billy Horschel.
