Don’t you just love that name? But aside from Vegas’ having a cool name, Vegas also is someone you could consider betting on as a long shot. The Venezuelan has rounded into form since topping the field at the RBC Championship. He has a T22 at The Barclays and a T24 at the BMW Championship, his most recent start.
McGirt barely made it to East Lake with 1,666 FedEx Cup points, 23rd overall in the standings. He’ll take his chances though. Like most other long shots, there are numerous stuff that has to happen for him to win the FedEx Cup title, but as far as the Tour Championship is concerned, he’ll be a worthy high-odds golfer to take a punt on. After all, he’s got a win at The Memorial under his belt and is coming off a respectable T20 at the BMW Championship, giving him some sort of momentum heading into East Lake.
Casual golf fans may not know who O’Hair was but a T2 at The Barclays helped put his name near the mainstream. O’Hair has six top 25’s on the season and just a couple of top 10’s, but if there’s one thing you should be aware of as he prepares for The Tour Championship, it’s that he placed third at East Lake back in 2009. O’Hair can shock the field.
