Here's our wrap on Day One of the final event in the FedEx, the Tour Championship. Only 30 in the field now. What's been occurring? Mostly Henrik Stenson if you have to know.
Thomas Pieters, the young Belgium bomber is in incredible form, winning the KLM Open just two weeks after his maiden victory at the D+D Real Czech Masters in Prague. Two starts, two wins. Nice work when you can get it.
Anyone who watched The Barclays will realise Jason Day is playing golf on a different planet to everyone else at the moment.
