SEAN O'HAIR: Seventh in FedExCup points (1,200 after reset)
Sean OHair started the season with top-25 finishes in nine of his first 10 starts, including five top-10 finishes and a victory at the Quail Hollow Championship. OHairs solid play throughout the 2009 season has meant that the 27-year-old has never fallen outside of the top 20 in the FedExCup standings at any point during the season. Following his victory at Quail Hollow, OHair went 10 events without a top-10 finish but turned it on during the PGA TOUR Playoffs with top-10s in each of his last two events (T8-Deutsche Bank Championship, fourth-BMW Championship) moving him to No. 7 in the rankings. If OHair wins THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola, only Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker could win the FedExCup by finishing second. In OHairs only appearance at the TOUR Championship, he finished 12th in 2005. |

| Quick analysis |
| His win at Quail Hollow in May was his sixth top-10 of the season. A new baby and a wrist injury brought some changes, but O'Hair has regained his momentum in the Playoffs with two top-10s. He's shot par or better in his last eight rounds so look for him to come to Atlanta with confidence. That fourth-place finish at Cog Hill boosted him seven spots in the FedExCup standings and gave O'Hair a shot at the ultimate prize. -- Helen Ross |
