It was a range of emotions for Kuchar on the final two holes. After appearing on the verge of building a two-stroke lead on the 17th hole, he three-putted from 4’3‖ to drop into a tie at 10-under with Donald. On the par-4 18th hole, Kuchar holed a 56’7‖ bunker shot for a birdie-3 to move back to the eventual winning score of 11-under. The win was the seventh of Kuchar’s PGA TOUR career: 2002 Honda Classic, 2009 Turning Stone Resort Championship, 2010 Barclays, 2012 PLAYERS Championship, 2013 World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, 2013 Memorial Tournament, 2014 RBC Heritage.

  • 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship Pre-Tournament Notes
    On-site PGA TOUR media contact: John Bush, PGA TOUR Media Official 904-923-7419 (cell), [email protected] 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship pre-tournament notes Dates: August 31-September 7, 2015 Where: TPC Boston Par/Yards: 36-35—71/7,242 Field: 99 (Sergio Garcia not playing) Defending champion: Chris Kirk Purse: $8,250,000 ($1,485,000 to winner) FedExCup: 2,000 points to the winner Format: 72-hole stroke play Twitter: @DBChampionship FedExCup and the Deutsche Bank Championship The Deutsche Bank Championship is the second of four events of the FedExCup Playoffs – with the entire season building toward this four-tournament stretch. There is more on the line than the Deutsche Bank Championship trophy – players in the top half of the 100-player field will be looking to move up, jockeying for the coveted top-five position heading to the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola; those near the bottom need enough points to survive to the next event at the BMW Championship (70 players). Each playoff event offers 2,000 FedExCup points to the winner, decreased by 500 points in 2015. The top 125 in the final PGA TOUR Season FedExCup standings following the Wyndham Championship qualified for The Barclays. The top 100 players on the FedExCup points list following The Barclays qualified for the Deutsche Bank Championship, with 25 players having been eliminated following the first week of the Playoffs. The top 70 on the points list following the Deutsche Bank Championship qualify for the BMW Championship, contested at Conway Farms in Lake Forest, Ill. A points reset will take place following the BMW Championship giving all 30 players in the field at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola a mathematical chance to win the FedExCup.
