<p>Every shot she hit at a flagstick Sunday, every putt she poured in at the Cambia Portland Classic did more than take her a step closer to the trophy at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.</p>
<p>They led to a dramatic victory that brought the promise of more help to the people suffering in her Houston hometown.</p>
<p>Lewis played brilliant, inspired golf breaking through to end her three-year winless spell. She won her 12th LPGA title for those suffering from the epic rainfall and deadly flooding that destroyed so many homes and businesses in Houston.</p>
<p>Lewis won after announcing before the tournament started that she was going to donate her winnings in Portland to the Hurricane Harvey relief effort.</p>
<p>Golf fans rallied behind her, cheering Lewis’ run at the $195,000 first-place check.</p>
<p>“We are going to be able to help people rebuild houses and get their homes back,” Lewis said. “That’s more important than any win.”</p>
<p>Lewis took a three-shot lead into Sunday and then held off a strong final-round charge by In Gee Chun. Lewis closed with a 3-under-par 69, finishing at 20 under for a one-shot victory over Chun (66). Lewis closed out with a two-putt par at the last.</p>

<p>In the end, Lewis was treated to some pleasant surprises. KPMG, one of her sponsors, announced it was going to match Lewis’ winnings in the relief effort. Also, Marathon Petroleum, yet another Lewis’ sponsor, informed her that it will be adding $1 million to her donation.</p>
<p>When Lewis walked off the green, her husband, Gerrod Chadwell, surprised her. He flew into Portland for the final round. She didn’t know he was there until he came out to hug her after that last putt fell.</p>
<p>Lewis’ family moved to suburban Houston when she was 11 years old. She grew up in The Woodlands. She and Chadwell bought a house in northeast Houston about a year-and-a-half ago.</p>
<p>It was spared from the ravages of the hurricane. So was her parents’ home, but she said the stories coming out of Houston moved her. She announced the day before the tournament started that she would donate her winnings from the week to the relief effort.</p>
<p>“When I said that, I had the goal of winning the tournament,” Lewis said. “You have to get a lot of things right, to go your way.”</p>
<p>Lewis said Saturday that she felt an unusual calmness as she played for Houston. She said Sunday she relinquished control to a higher power.</p>
<p>“Just kind of handed over control and said, `Take me, take me to the finish line. Let me know what happens, God,’” Lewis said. “It was just amazing how when you let go of the control like that how great you can play.”</p>
<p>Lewis was at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open last week when forecasts grew dire in her hometown. She stayed in close contact with Chadwell, who was back at their home. He is the University of Houston women’s golf coach. Lewis followed his struggles from afar as he worked to help his players when the campus shut down. He moved the team to he and Stacy’s home, and then he kayaked with the men’s golf coach into the team facility at the flooded Golf Club of Houston, where they salvaged clubs and office equipment.</p>
<p>“I was fine until Gerrod showed up, and then I started crying,” Lewis said. “Just to have him here, and have him support me, the last two and a half, three years ... It's been really frustrating at times.”</p>
<p>Lewis, 32, has endured some frustration trying to collect her 12th LPGA title. Since winning the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship in June of 2014, she had gone 82 starts without a win. She played well in that run, stacking up 12 second-place finishes and winning more than $4 million, but she couldn’t break through to win until finding some special motivation in Portland.</p>
<p>“I’m excited to kind of get that monkey off my back and know I can do it, that I can hit the shots I need to and hit the putts when I need to,” Lewis said. “It’s nice to see yourself do that again.”</p>
<p>Lewis reigned as the Rolex world No. 1 for 25 weeks over portions of the 2013 and ’14 seasons. She was twice the LPGA’s Rolex Player of the Year, but that didn’t make her winless spell any easier. Lewis said her husband helped her deal with it.</p>
<p>“You go through all the emotions of finishing second when sometimes it's your fault and sometimes it's not, and things just don't seem to ever go your way and you get really frustrated at times,” Lewis said. “Gerrod went through all of that with me, and it was probably as hard on him as it was on me. So just to have him here and get to share the win with him was pretty special.”</p></article></div></div></section></section><section class="article-tags" data-reactid="27"><div class="row" data-reactid="28"><div class="columns medium-12" data-reactid="29"><span data-reactid="30">Article Tags:</span><!-- react-text: 31 --> <!-- /react-text --><span class="tags" data-reactid="32"><a href="http://www.golfchannel.com/search/?f4=Stacy Lewis" data-reactid="33"><!-- react-text: 34 -->Stacy Lewis<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 35 -->, <!-- /react-text --></a><a href="http://www.golfchannel.com/search/?f4=2017 Cambia Portland Classic" data-reactid="36"><!-- react-text: 37 -->2017 Cambia Portland Classic<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 38 --><!-- /react-text --></a></span></div></div></section><section class="trending-container" data-reactid="39"><div class="row trendingheader" data-reactid="40"><div class="columns medium-12" data-reactid="41"><h2 data-reactid="42">Trending</h2></div></div><div class="row" data-reactid="43"><div class="columns medium-6 first article" data-reactid="44"><article data-reactid="45"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="46"><a href="/article/grill-room/mccoy-ripped-peers-after-ungrateful-kids-crowd-tweet?cid=article_trending_p1" data-reactid="47"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2016/04/18/mccoy_1920_valspar16_d3.jpg" data-reactid="48"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="49"><h3 data-reactid="50">Peers rip McCoy after tweets about kid fans</h3></div></a></div></article></div><div class="columns medium-6 second" data-reactid="51"><div class="row" data-reactid="52"><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 article" data-reactid="53"><article data-reactid="54"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="55"><a href="/article/golf-central-blog/report-day-join-mcilroy-skipping-wgc-mexico?cid=article_trending_p2" data-reactid="56"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2018/01/26/day_1920_farmers18_d2_wave.jpg" data-reactid="57"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="58"><h3 data-reactid="59">Report: Day to join McIlroy in skipping WGC-Mexico</h3></div></a></div></article></div><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 video" data-reactid="60"><article data-reactid="61"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="62"><a href="/video/lee-mccoy-causes-stir-twitter?cid=article_trending_p3" data-reactid="63"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/video/thumbnail/2018/02/12/mccoythumb_0.jpg" data-reactid="64"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="65"><h3 data-reactid="66">McCoy causes a stir on Twitter, deletes his account</h3></div></a></div></article></div></div><div class="row" data-reactid="67"><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 video" data-reactid="68"><article data-reactid="69"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="70"><a href="/video/rosaforte-reports-tigers-potential-schedule-after-riviera?cid=article_trending_p4" data-reactid="71"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/video/thumbnail/2018/02/11/2018-02-12t00-30-34.0z--1280x720_0.jpg" data-reactid="72"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="73"><h3 data-reactid="74">Rosaforte: Tiger still mulling Honda, Valspar</h3></div></a></div></article></div><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 article" data-reactid="75"><article data-reactid="76"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="77"><a href="/article/golf-central-blog/genesis-open-tee-times-tv-schedule-stats?cid=article_trending_p5" data-reactid="78"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2018/02/12/riviera_1920_genesis17_clubhouse_hill_fans.jpg" data-reactid="79"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="80"><h3 data-reactid="81">Genesis Open: Tee times, TV schedule, stats</h3></div></a></div></article></div></div></div></div></section><div class="row" data-reactid="82"><div class="columns medium-12" data-reactid="83"><section class="taboola-container" id="taboola-945451" data-reactid="84"></section></div></div></div><div data-reactid="85"><section data-reactid="86"><section class="article-hero " data-reactid="87"><div class="image" style="background-image:url(http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2018/02/13/coach_1920_juniors.jpg);" data-reactid="88"><div class="credit" data-reactid="89"><div class="content" data-reactid="90"><span data-reactid="91"><!-- react-text: 92 --> <!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 93 -->Getty Images<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 94 --> <!-- /react-text --></span></div></div></div><div class="intro" data-reactid="95"><div class="row" data-reactid="96"><div class="columns medium-12" data-reactid="97"><h1 data-reactid="98">Want to fix golf?

But as I have said before, talents like Tiger, Jordan Spieth and Rory Mcilroy really aren't the most important connection to the neophyte golfer.</p>
<p>Instead, that connection can be found in the multitude of PGA professionals around the world.</p>
<p>Superstars - like great works of art that draw crowds to a museum - compel non-golfers to watch, but increased viewership will not translate into the increased growth of this already-difficult game unless there is someone who compels potential players to pick up a club. Someone needs to convert an interest into a fascination. That someone is the teacher.</p>
<p>The problem, however, is that we do not truly know who the best teachers are, and thus we do not know how to best teach the game. And all the while, would-be golfers are slipping away.</p>
<p>I recently read a round-up purporting to identify the 50 best teachers in America. While I know many of the individuals featured and have no doubt of their considerable knowledge, the criterion used to determine the “best teachers” is hardly ideal in judging something as objective as a student’s improvement, or lack thereof. The list was merely a survey of 1,000 or so teachers, which is inevitably based more on popularity than these polls should be. The process bodes well for the most famous. But are the most famous actually the best?</p>
<p>Imagine if the Official World Golf Ranking identified players the same way others are identifying the best teachers - based on a survey of who we <em>think</em> is the best and not on an objective, results-based system. There would be, regardless of what was presented, incessant arguing about who the best golfers are and what their rank should be; and it wouldn't get us anywhere.</p>
<p>It is precisely this imprecision that makes acrimony so pervasive in the teaching world. Arguments over ideas, technology, technique and results are commonplace on the social media platforms teachers use to disseminate their information. While debate can at times be healthy, it is in this case suboptimal when we could instead examine the results that thousands upon thousands of case studies could provide.</p>
<p>In my mind, the PGA of America, and all golf professional associations around the world, should endeavor to find a system that can determine which teachers are having the most success with students. Think of a purely objective system based on what kind of player someone was before and after they worked with a particular teacher. Players' handicaps, which are readily available, could, if used properly, serve as our data.</p>
<p>Imagine if we found a relatively unknown teacher whose students on average all got significantly better than anyone else’s in the game. With the case studies and information there for everyone to see, students and teachers would be better served, as would the game itself.</p>
<p>As it is, the “best teachers" now are the ones who are quite good at promoting their message. While success has been clearly evident for some, for others it has been not so apparent.</p>
<p>Again, imagine if the 29,000 PGA of America members were ranked according to computer analysis of their success, and not by opnion, every year. Wouldn’t we all want to know not only what they were teaching but also how they're teaching it?</p>
<p>My sense is that the game would begin to be taught in a much more holistic way, in a way that made the game more appealing to the new player, such that interest could develop into fascination and into inspiration and into skill.</p>
<p>The interest in golf, with so much competition for the attention of kids, has not turned as cold as winter; but the frost is on the pumpkin so to speak. The only way to turn up the heat is to clearly find out who the best teachers are, what they are doing to connect with their students, and what they are doing to make them better.</p>
<p>Replicate those ideas - kid by kid by kid - and growing the game will go from a slogan to a reality.</p></article></div></div></section></section><section class="article-tags" data-reactid="110"><div class="row" data-reactid="111"><div class="columns medium-12" data-reactid="112"><span data-reactid="113">Article Tags:</span><!-- react-text: 114 --> <!-- /react-text --><span class="tags" data-reactid="115"><a href="http://www.golfchannel.com/search/?f4=Brandel Chamblee" data-reactid="116"><!-- react-text: 117 -->Brandel Chamblee<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 118 -->, <!-- /react-text --></a><a href="http://www.golfchannel.com/search/?f4=PGA of America" data-reactid="119"><!-- react-text: 120 -->PGA of America<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 121 -->, <!-- /react-text --></a><a href="http://www.golfchannel.com/search/?f4=Instruction" data-reactid="122"><!-- react-text: 123 -->Instruction<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 124 --><!-- /react-text --></a></span></div></div></section><section class="trending-container" data-reactid="125"><div class="row trendingheader" data-reactid="126"><div class="columns medium-12" data-reactid="127"><h2 data-reactid="128">Trending</h2></div></div><div class="row" data-reactid="129"><div class="columns medium-6 first article" data-reactid="130"><article data-reactid="131"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="132"><a href="/article/grill-room/mccoy-ripped-peers-after-ungrateful-kids-crowd-tweet?cid=article_trending_p1" data-reactid="133"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2016/04/18/mccoy_1920_valspar16_d3.jpg" data-reactid="134"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="135"><h3 data-reactid="136">Peers rip McCoy after tweets about kid fans</h3></div></a></div></article></div><div class="columns medium-6 second" data-reactid="137"><div class="row" data-reactid="138"><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 article" data-reactid="139"><article data-reactid="140"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="141"><a href="/article/golf-central-blog/report-day-join-mcilroy-skipping-wgc-mexico?cid=article_trending_p2" data-reactid="142"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2018/01/26/day_1920_farmers18_d2_wave.jpg" data-reactid="143"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="144"><h3 data-reactid="145">Report: Day to join McIlroy in skipping WGC-Mexico</h3></div></a></div></article></div><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 video" data-reactid="146"><article data-reactid="147"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="148"><a href="/video/lee-mccoy-causes-stir-twitter?cid=article_trending_p3" data-reactid="149"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/video/thumbnail/2018/02/12/mccoythumb_0.jpg" data-reactid="150"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="151"><h3 data-reactid="152">McCoy causes a stir on Twitter, deletes his account</h3></div></a></div></article></div></div><div class="row" data-reactid="153"><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 video" data-reactid="154"><article data-reactid="155"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="156"><a href="/video/rosaforte-reports-tigers-potential-schedule-after-riviera?cid=article_trending_p4" data-reactid="157"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/video/thumbnail/2018/02/11/2018-02-12t00-30-34.0z--1280x720_0.jpg" data-reactid="158"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="159"><h3 data-reactid="160">Rosaforte: Tiger still mulling Honda, Valspar</h3></div></a></div></article></div><div class="columns medium-6 small-6 article" data-reactid="161"><article data-reactid="162"><div class="inner-container" data-reactid="163"><a href="/article/golf-central-blog/genesis-open-tee-times-tv-schedule-stats?cid=article_trending_p5" data-reactid="164"><img src="http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2018/02/12/riviera_1920_genesis17_clubhouse_hill_fans.jpg" data-reactid="165"/><div class="caption" data-reactid="166"><h3 data-reactid="167">Genesis Open: Tee times, TV schedule, stats</h3></div></a></div></article></div></div></div></div></section></div><div data-reactid="168"><section data-reactid="169"><section class="article-hero " data-reactid="170"><div class="image" style="background-image:url(http://www.golfchannel.com/sites/default/files/2017/11/12/sutherland_1920_schwab17_trophies.jpg);" data-reactid="171"><div class="credit" data-reactid="172"><div class="content" data-reactid="173"><span data-reactid="174"><!-- react-text: 175 --> <!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 176 -->Getty Images<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 177 --> <!-- /react-text --></span></div></div></div><div class="intro" data-reactid="178"><div class="row" data-reactid="179"><div class="columns medium-12" data-reactid="180"><h1 data-reactid="181">Notes: Champs.

The PGA Tour Champions might have a solution for the Charles Schwab Cup.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">The tour is considering a proposal that would eliminate the reset going into the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, according to two people with knowledge of the plan. They spoke on condition of anonymity because it is still in the process of being approved.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Bernhard Langer&nbsp;last year won seven times, including two majors and the first two playoff events. Kevin Sutherland won the final tournament, which enabled him to capture the Schwab Cup and the $1 million bonus. It was Sutherland's first victory on the PGA Tour Champions.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Much like the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour, points are reset going into the last event so that all 36 players in the field have a mathematical chance to win the Cup, and the top five only have to win the tournament to claim the big bonus.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">But this wasn't a response to Sutherland winning.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">What made officials rethink the playoff points system was that two players, Paul Goydos and Lee Janzen, had a reasonable chance on the last day to win the Schwab Cup even though they were outside the top 20 in the standings. That would have looked even more awkward in light of Langer's big season.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Tour officials pored through various models and proposed a system that would put greater emphasis on the playoffs and still keep the finale in doubt. The proposal is for points (each point is worth $1 in earnings) to be double for the first two playoff events, and points would be triple the value in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Langer, who tied for 12th in the final event last year, would have won the cup under that proposal. Langer's season was so stellar that he would have won in just about any model that was considered.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Under the proposal, it's still possible that a player can wrap up the Schwab Cup before the final event. But looking over the last 10 years, it would be rare.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">The plan still has to be discussed among the players and go before the Player Advisory Council. The hope is to have the full board vote on it as early as next month.</p>
<hr>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm"><strong>STRICKER'S SCHEDULE:</strong> Steve Stricker played in the penultimate group at the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, three shots out of the lead until he was done in by consecutive double bogeys on the front nine. He closed with a 76 and finished 10 shots behind.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">He still can contend at age 50. He is a past champion at Riviera.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">And he has gone to Florida for the week to make his debut on the PGA Tour Champions.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">But he'll be back. Stricker hopes to play as many as 15 times on the PGA Tour this year provided he can get into a major or two, even if he has to qualify. So much for that semi-retirement he talked about in 2013.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">''The challenge is age more than anything,'' he said. ''I still feel like I'm getting it out there. Some of the scoring clubs, I'm not as good as I used to be. I feel good. The body feels good. The back feels good.''</p>
<div class="Ov(h) Trs($transition-readmore) Mah(999999px)">
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Stricker said one reason he cut back was that his older daughter, Bobbi Maria, was in her final years of high school. It was the right time for him to be home. Plus, he didn't want to burn out on golf before turning 50 and becoming eligible for the PGA Tour Champions.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">So it worked. Bobbi Maria is a sophomore at Wisconsin. His younger daughter and wife are traveling more. And he's excited to play.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">''The biggest thing is I want to be out here,'' he said. ''I didn't want to be like, 'I've got to go play again' and have it be a downer to be on the road. I wanted to be excited each and every time. And I am. When you're excited to play, it shows up in your game.''</p>

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm"><strong>CANTLAY'S PROGRESS:</strong> Patrick Cantlay returned to golf last year at the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after being gone for three years with a back injury. He tied for 48th and finished 16 shots out of the lead. One year later, he is a PGA Tour winner and among the top 40 players in the world rankings.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">But that's not how he measures progress.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">''It's just feeling healthy all the time,'' Cantlay said. ''In the last year, I can still see an upward tick in how I feel all the time, how strong I feel. I don't get tired in the middle of rounds anymore. I feel good all the time. I didn't know if I was going to get back to a spot like that.''</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Cantlay said it took him until last summer to get through a tournament where he wasn't losing energy and a little focus. The back was fine, but the routine of tournament golf required some adjustments.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">''I just wasn't used to being engaged for six hours, walking, the whole deal,'' he said. ''It's something that you can get out of touch with if you're taking as much time off as I did.''</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Any surprises?</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">Winning in Vegas wasn't one. Confidence has never been an issue with Cantlay.</p>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm">''It's just nice to wake up every day and feel like I can go out and do my best,'' he said.</p>
<hr>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm"><strong>DIVOTS:</strong> Ted Potter Jr. is nowhere to be found in the Ryder Cup standings, even though he earned 1,332 points for his victory at Pebble Beach. That should place him 10th in the standings. The reason? He is not a PGA of America member. Potter was out of golf for two years with a broken ankle and was on the Web.com Tour last year. It's not unusual for PGA Tour players to forget to rejoin the PGA of America, and Potter's points will be given retroactively when he joins. ... Abraham Ancer had his best finish (tie for 9th) at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, and now he can bank on another return to his native country. Ancer is No. 253 in the world, making him the highest-ranked player from Mexico. That will get him a spot in Mexico Championship next month. It will be his first World Golf Championship. ...&nbsp;Tiger Woods&nbsp;still doesn't know if he's playing the Honda Classic next week. Woods said his feet were sore after Torrey Pines, and he wants to be sure if he can go at it as hard as he wants after only three days off between the Genesis Open and Honda Classic.</p>
<hr>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm"><strong>STAT OF THE WEEK:</strong> Dustin Johnson and Jason Day each played their first full year on the PGA Tour in 2008. Last week at the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Johnson became the fifth player to surpass $50 million in career earnings. Day became the 15th player to go over $40 million.</p>
<hr>
<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm"><strong>FINAL WORD:</strong> ''I love the golf course. I love the layout. It fits my eye. And I play awful. It's very simple.'' - Tiger Woods on Riviera, the course he has played the most times on the PGA Tour without winning.</p>

1994, <span>Jim Furyk has a&nbsp;<span>“first day of school” feel for&nbsp;</span></span>this week’s Genesis Open.</p>
<p>Furyk is making his first PGA Tour start in six months following a season in which he was slowed by a nagging shoulder injury, and he failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in his career.</p>
<p>Although he’s playing this week’s event on a sponsor exemption, his status this season on Tour will be limited to his past champion status. Furyk could have used an exemption for being in the top 50 on the career earnings list, but decided not to use that one-time option.</p>
<p>“I wasn’t sure if I was going to be healthy enough,” Furyk said on Tuesday at Riviera Country Club. “You have to make that decision like within seven or 10 days after the Tour Championship. At the time I was injured and wasn’t playing.”</p>

<hr>
<p>Furyk’s last start was the PGA Championship in August and he said he wasn’t healthy enough to hit golf balls until early January, which limited his options for this season.</p>
<p>“At the time I really wasn’t sure if I was going to have surgery,” he said. “To use that [money] exemption didn’t seem to make a lot of sense at the time.”</p>
<p>This year’s U.S. Ryder Cup captain said he plans to play about 18 events this season, which is his normal schedule, and he wants to use the months leading up to this year’s matches in Paris as a chance to get know some of his potential players.</p>
