Woods takes BMW crown, FedEx Lead

How much more can you say? Tiger Woods sets a scoring record, wins his 60th tournament, and propels himself into the FedEx Cup lead--and he even missed a whole tournament!! With a 50-foot birdie putt that got him back on track Sunday, Woods matched the lowest final round of his career with an 8-under 63 that shattered the scoring record at Cog Hill and gave him a two-shot victory in the BMW Championship.

As far as the Fed Ex is concerned, Woods goes to East Lake in Atlanta with a 3,133-point lead over Steve Stricker, who finished third at Cog Hill, and a 4,120-point margin over Phil Mickelson, who decided not to play this week.

Mickelson, the Deutsche Bank Championship winner, will have to win to have any hopes of capturing the FedExCup and the $10 million prize. If Stricker does not win at East Lake, Woods could win the cup by finishing second.

So, at least the officials for the cup have some drama, plus they have the "big" name they probably wanted leading the Cup. While it would have been great to see some other notables jump up and grab the new tourney crown, my feeling is that the FedEx guys probably are very happy to see who's lurking near the top.
