Barnes led by two shots with three holes left to play but bogeyed all three to hand the title to Leishman.

Leishman now heads to Sydney for British Open pre-qualifying at The Lakes Golf Club.

2007 FedEx Cup - The Final Standings

Cal on September 17th, 2007

A bit of a disappointment really that 16 Australians made the 140 man playoff, and only four came through to the final.

Australians Left In The FedEx Cup

Cal on August 27th, 2007

Okay, so we know Gavin Coles didn’t make it to the next tournament.
Also missing out by just one spot (a miserly 25 points) is Steve Allan. Not making the cut will do that to you!
Mathew Goggin was two spots and 500 points out of contention. He missed the cut too.
Andrew Buckle made the […]
