Evian Championship: Inbee Park Seeks the Ladies Career Grand Slam in France

Perched on the foothills of the French Alps overlooking Lake Geneva South Korea's Inbee Park began her quest to silence the skeptics and complete the LPGA Grand Slam in Evian, France. There are two key facts to keep in mind this week: First, the Evian Championship was elevated to "Major Championship" status this year by the LPGA - making it the fifth major on the ladies' tour. Second, Park has already won the Evian tournament ... however, BEFORE it was classified as a Major.

Park, undoubtedly one of the most gifted lady golfers in many years, faces some still competition. After Round 1 Mi-Hyang Lee from South Korea and America's Lexi Thompson are co-leaders at -5 under par. Park finished her first round at +1 over par and is surely in striking range with 3 rounds to play. What are Park's chances of taking home the Evian trophy and more importantly validating that she has truly won a career grand slam? Send your thoughts to the Pro Golf Tour.

Rickie Fowler Wins Deutsche Bank Championship - Moves to #3 in the FedEx Cup Rankings

Rickie Fowler shot a final round -3 under par to defeat Hendrik Stenson by one stroke to finish at -15 under par at the Deutsche Bank tournament this Labor Day weekend.  This win moved Fowler into 3rd place in the FedEx Cup rankings and number 5 in the World Golf Rankings.

Fowler is undoubtedly having the best season of his young career and hope to finish strong at the BMW Championship, the Tour Championship and the President's Cup just around the corner. With Jordan Spieth having missed yet another cut, Jason Day failed to bolster his FedEx Cup lead by finishing T12 at -6 under par, but still holds the lead. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy did not do himself any favors by finishing T28 at -3 under par. So which player has the advantage heading into the BMW Championship in Chicago?

Deutsche Bank Update: Hoffman Leads by 3 - Spieth at Risk of Missing Another Cut

With second round play still in-progress American Charlie Hoffman shot an incredible -8 under par today to finish at -12 under par three strokes ahead of Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge sitting at -9 under par. Four players are tied at -8 under par including Americans Rickie Fowler, reigning Players champion, and Zach Johnson, reigning Open Championship winner. Australia's Jason Day is still on the course holding steady at -6 under par. Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy is also on the course at +1 over par.

So where is Jordan Spieth? Good question. Spieth is currently at +4 over par and pending divine intervention is likely to miss his second cut - his second FedEx Cup playoff cut - in a row.While not  a matter of life and death, America's golden boy and presumed 2015 Player of the Year is at serious risk of loosing any viable chance of winning the FedEx Cup after leading in the point race most of this year. So what is causing Spieth so much trouble the past two weeks? Share your comments with the Pro Golf Tour ... and if your are a Spieth fan, pray for a miracle and fast.

Deutsche Bank Championship: Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge Takes the Round 1 Lead

Brendon de Jonge shot -6 under par to take a two stroke lead after the first round of the Deutsche Bank Championship outside of Boston. This tournament is the second leg of the four-week long FedEx Cup playoffs. Jason Day finished strong at -3 under par following his win at the Barclays last week who currently sits atop the FedEx Cup rankings just ahead of Jordan Spieth.

Meanwhile, the world's number ranked Rory McIlroy shot -1 under par in Round 1. McIlroy is ranked 15th in the race for the FedEx Cup. And Player of the Year Candidate Jordan Spieth raised eyebrows with another poor performance shooting +4 over par following last week's missed cut. Which player(s) have the edge going into Round 2? I would not be surprised to see Jason Day , once again, move up the leaderboard. Share your comments here at the Pro Golf Tour.

World Golf Rankings - McIlroy, Spieth and Day in Virtual Tie for Number 1 Ranking

The latest World Golf Rankings show Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day in a virtual ties for the number 1 male golfer in the world. Day's win at last week's Barclay tournament moved him within striking distance of McIlroy and Spieth. These figures reinforce the notion that we now truly have a pre-emininent "threesome" vying week in and week out for the top position.

A win at the Deutche Bank Championship could put Jason Day in the global poll position for the first time in his distinguished career. McIlroy, Spieth and Day have dominated men's golf this past year and likely for years to come. The great unknown is the possibility of a major season-ending injury for any of these players - which we truly hope will not happen. In good faith, this gentlemen's game is in for a historic three-way match-up for years to come. This will greatly benefit and help grow the game of of golf around the world. So once again, who has the edge this week at the Deutche Bank tournament? Send your comments to the Pro Golf Tour.
