Now it’s your turn: Who do you think will win this year’s Rookie of the Year?

By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM

ATLANTA -- A year ago, John Huh watched the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola on TV.

He was playing in a tournament in Korea. Huh distinctly remembers what he calls simply "the shot" as Bill Haas got up and down from the water hazard beside the 17th green on the way to that dynamic dual victory in the TOUR Championship and FedExCup.

How times have changed. On Thursday, the 22-year-old Huh will tee it up at East Lake for the first time, capping a stellar rookie season that saw him win the Mayakoba Golf Classic in an eight-hole playoff over Robert Allenby and tie for second at the Valero Texas Open.

Huh has a total of four top-10s and enters his first TOUR Championship ranked 26th in the FedExCup -- just one shot lower than where Haas was a year ago.

"I feel really lucky to be here, especially as a rookie, and only top 30 to compete this week," Huh said. “… And the fact that Bill Haas was the 25th last year and he won the tournament and the FedEx, I believe I still have a chance. …

“But I need a little help from the guys in the top. So I'm just going to do my best and see what's going on."

Huh, who was born in New York and spent his youth in Korea, Chicago and Los Angeles, had modest goals for his rookie campaign on TOUR.

"Before I started the season, I told myself I want to just play a weekend, which is not easy to do that on the PGA TOUR, making the cut and playing a weekend, and being in contention," Huh said. "That was my goal before the season started, and it changed a little bit in the middle of the year.”

That's because Huh broke through in his sixth start on TOUR and nearly picked up another victory in Texas where he opened with a 44 but shot par or better on his next 45 holes to get in contention. Huh had a chip for birdie on the 72nd hole there that could have landed him in his second playoff.

He won’t have to worry about a cut this week at East Lake. But Huh will need to stay focused over all 72 holes against the elite field of 30. 

"Some tournaments I feel like I've been too aggressive because of changing my goal a little, but I think I should just stay where I'm at right now and just feel like I play the weekend first and play good and finish well," Huh said.

All times Eastern.

SEASON IN REVIEW: Prior to this year, Huh had never played in a PGA TOUR or Web.com Tour event. The 22-year-old wasted little time finding his footing, though, with a top 10 in his second start and a hard-fought playoff victory over Robert Allenby in his fifth at the Mayakoba Golf Classic. Huh, who had started the final round seven strokes behind Daniel Summerhays, needed eight extra holes to take down the veteran from Australia. He also tied for second at the Valero Texas Open despite opening with a 44 on the front nine. He is the only rookie playing at East Lake. – Helen Ross

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at Huh:
What a rookie year. I had never heard of Huh last year at this time. I kept thinking his game would slump following his victory this spring, but he has been consistent. I can easily see John being a multi-winner on TOUR.

One of the year’s better stories on the PGA TOUR was authored last week by Ben Curtis, ending a six-year winless drought on TOUR with a win at the Valero Texas Open.

Curtis was the Cinderella champion won the 2003 British Open (Valero T2 finisher John Huh was 13 years old then) and two events in 2006, then a few years later dropped off the radar. This year he as many starts on the European Tour than the PGA TOUR (three each) before winning in Texas.

In winning by two shots at TPC San Antonio, Curtis had another first of sorts – the first win for Titleist’s AP1 712 irons. Most Titleist players on TOUR play the AP2 irons, which have more of a traditional blade feel and less offset. The AP1 irons have a high-density tungsten sole weight positioned toward the toe, increasing ball speed on off-center hits and reducing twist at impact.

Curtis had a 4-iron through pitching wedge in his AP1 set – which we’ll see a lot more of in the U.S. now that Curtis has winner’s status again on TOUR.

GOLDEN: Ping has enjoyed a great season so far, with wins on TOUR by Mark Wilson (Humana Challenge), John Huh (Mayakoba Golf Classic), Hunter Mahan (World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, Shell Houston Open).

All of its players have a gold-plated replica of their winning putters put in Ping’s vault in Scottsdale, Ariz., and sometimes even more special additions are put in the vault. A double eagle at the Masters would qualify, so a gold S56 4-iron was added to the vault recently in honor of Louis Oosthuizen’s feat. He also received one for his collection.

WEEKENDER: David Duval tested a Callaway Razr Fit driver against a Titleist 910D3 and TaylorMade RBZ last week, with the Callaway going into his bag at Valero at 9.1 degrees loft. He ended up making his first cut of the season after seven misses, and shot his best round on Sunday (71) to finish in a tie for 60th.

BY A HAIR: Amazing how just the slightest adjustments make all the difference for TOUR players. At TPC San Antonio, Derek Lamely thought a flatter lie angle would help to stop losing shots to the left with his 15-degree Callaway Diablo Octane Tour fairway wood . Callaway techs adjusted the angle by one degree – from 59 to 58 – allowing him to hit a baby fade. No more lefts. He finished T35 at Valero, his second-best finish of the season.

WINNER’S BAG: Curtis at the Valero Texas Open:
Driver: Titleist 910D3 (Aldila RIP NV 65X shaft, 8.5 degrees)
Fairway wood: Titleist 910Fd, (Aldila RIP 80X shaft, 13.5 degrees)
