@
https://www.pgatour.com/power-rankings/2015/08/31/deutsche-bank-championship.html 1 Jason Day Winner of three of his last four starts. Strong slate at TPC Boston includes three top 10s. Five golfers have won consecutive events in playoffs history.
2 Henrik Stenson Fulfilled confidence about being fresh for solo second at Plainfield; three top sixes in last five starts. WON two of the four FedEx in 2013 including the Deutches Bank with record-tying 22-under
3 Jordan Spieth Even the best are entitled to a bad week. TPC Boston is a soft landing where he spun a final-round 62 in 2013 to place T4 in his debut.
4 Dustin Johnson Overpowered Plainfield for a T9. Led field in distance of all drives and ranked second in par-4 scoring. Pair of T4s at TPC Boston (2009, 2012).
5 Bubba Watson Bomb-and-gouged a solo third at Plainfield; Led field in strokes gained: tee-to-green; ranked third in scrambling. Four top threes in last seven starts.
6 Rory McIlroy First action since a solo 17th at Whistling Straits, his only start post-ankle injury. Former winner at TPC Boston (2012); shared fifth last year.
7 Hideki Matsuyama Snapped out of his funk with a T13 at Plainfield where he ranked T13 in GIR and third in birdies or better en route to four red numbers.
8 Justin Rose Scratched all the way back from an opening 77 at Plainfield to place T16. Preceded that with four top sixes. Finished T16 here in 2013.
9 Zach Johnson On cue, returned to form with a T4 at Plainfield where he ranked second in GIR and 13th in proximity. Top 20s in three of last six trips to TPC Boston.
10 Brooks Koepka After eight straight top 25s, met his match at The Barclays, missing the cut by three. Hasn't missed consecutive cuts anywhere since July of 2014.
11 Robert Streb Weekend fade at Plainfield yielded a T39. Had top 20s in previous five starts. Ranked fifth in birdies or better during a T9 in debut here last year.
12 Bill Haas Benefit of the doubt as a horse for a course. Five top 25s in nine appearances, including a personal-best-tying T9 last year. T6 two weeks ago at Sedgefield.
13 Justin Thomas Shook off forgettable week at Sedgefield for a T16 at Plainfield, his fourth top 20 in five starts. Still devouring par 5s; also seventh in the all-around.
14 Jason Bohn Capitalized on career-best opening position (33rd) and finished T9 at The Barclays. Four top 15s in last five starts. Led field in proximity to the hole.
