A four-stroke lead entering the final round of The Northern Trust was a good place to be for Bryson DeChambeau. Since 2013 on the US PGA Tour, 54-hole leaders who had leads of four or more strokes converted for wins a little more than 80 percent of the time. And while his advantage did shrink to two strokes at one point on the back nine at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey, DeChambeau was still comfortably in control. And when he made birdies on the 12th and 13th holes to once again get the lead back to four, it was obvious that Sunday would be DeChambeau’s day.
Arguably, the thing that DeChambeau most hopes to get out of his victory on Sunday is a captain’s pick on to the US Ryder Cup. He won’t know that officially until next week, but stepping up in the first FedEx Cup event of the US PGA Tour Playoffs can’t hurt his cause. What he does know that he gets for his hard work over the weekend is a cheque for $US1,620,000 and 2,000 FedEx Cup points, pushing him from ninth to first in the standings with three events left.
As for how much money the rest of the field took home from their time at Ridgewood? Here’s the breakdown for every player who made the cut this past week.
