ATLANTA – Only the 30 top golfers in the FedEx Cup point list earned spots at the Tour Championship this week at East Lake Golf Club. And one of the best ways to achieve the consistency you need to finish high on the standings, is to hit quality iron shots. Many of them.
Distance can be an advantage. However, if golfers keep their approach shots out of trouble, and they finish close to the hole, then they will avoid making large numbers, and increase the chances of birdie. This translates into low scores and fat wallets.
