ANGEL CABRERA: 24th in FedExCup points (270 after reset)
Argentina's Cabrera proved his 2007 U.S. Open victory was no fluke by making par on the second playoff hole to beat Kenny Perry and win the Masters Tournament. Cabrera and Perry, the third-round co-leaders, finished tied at 12-under 276 with Chad Campbell. After missing the cut at The Barclays, a tie for fourth at the Deutsche Bank Championship helped Cabrera maintain his spot in the top 30 in FedExCup points and allowed him to advance to THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola. Cabrera finished 47th and 65th in the final FedExCup standings in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Cabrera will compete for the International Team in The Presidents Cup next month, his third appearance in the event. |

| Quick analysis |
| Believe it or not, this two-time major winner has never played in THE TOUR Championship. The Argentine, who won the 2007 U.S. Open, has come back well this year after posting just one top-10 in 2008. Cabrera won the Masters in a playoff with Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell and has two other ties for fourth, including at the Deutsche Bank Championship two weeks ago. -- Helen Ross |
