PGA Tour rankings -- August 13, 2012

The Sports Xchange's PGA Tour rankings are selected by TSX Golf Staff, based on play in the 2011 and 2012 seasons, with more emphasis on recent results.

1. Rory McIlroy, Northern Ireland -- That slump McIlroy was in? Forget about it. The 23-year-old shot 67-66 on the weekend and sank one final birdie putt from 25 feet on the final hole to break Jack Nicklaus' tournament record, set in 1980, with an eight-stroke victory in the PGA Championship. McIlroy, who also won the U.S. Open by eight shots last year at Congressional, became the youngest player since Seve Ballesteros to claim two major championships and regained the No. 1 spot in the World Golf Rankings. ... With a busy stretch of golf coming up, starting with the PGA Tour playoffs opener next week in the Barclays, McIlroy will take a break in what already has been a busy, worldwide schedule. His strong early season run, which included four top-three finishes in his first five events on the U.S. circuit, has put him second in the FedEx Cup standings. He also has the Ryder Cup and the windup of the Race to Dubai, the European Tour's season-long race, on his schedule the next few months. ... McIlroy, who opened with a 5-under-par 67 last week at Kiawah Island, weathered a second-round 75, which he was unable to do after shooting 80 on an equally difficult day in round two of the 2010 Open Championship. He opened with a 63 that time, and even though he tied for third, he was eight strokes behind winner Louis Oosthuizen. This time, Rory carded 13 birdies and only two bogeys on the weekend, both in the third round, playing the last 23 holes flawlessly on the difficult Ocean Course. After taking a total of 59 putts in the first two days, he made everything in the last two rounds, when he needed only 50.

2. Tiger Woods, United States -- Again failing to make a move on the weekend after being tied for the lead after two rounds in the PGA Championship, Woods lost his touch on the front nine of the third round, which was interrupted by the rain that halted play on Saturday. He was better when he returned on Sunday morning, but it was too late as Rory McIlroy roared away to the title and Tiger finished with 74-72 and tied for 11th. Woods did not break par in any round on the weekend in the majors this year and also fell back after leading the U.S. Open after 36 holes. ... Woods is going to take this week off, skipping the Wyndham Championship, ahead of the start of the PGA Tour playoffs at the Barclays. He holds the lead in the FedEx Cup standings thanks to three victories this season and probably will take the lead into the playoffs unless Jason Dufner captures the Wyndham. Tiger, the only player to claim the FedEx Cup title twice, won it in the inaugural year of 2007 and again in 2009. ... After opening with 69-71 at the Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, Woods carded four bogeys in a span of five holes through No. 8 in round three and never got back in the hunt despite making three birdies on the back. Not that he didn't try, recording two birdies on the front nine in the final round, but any outside chance he had left was doomed when he made bogeys on both par-5 holes on the back nine. That left Woods winless in his last 14 majors, the longest stretch of his career, dating to the 2008 U.S. Open.

3. Luke Donald, England -- On a day he lost his No. 1 spot in the World Rankings to PGA champion Rory McIlroy, Donald finally displayed the kind of golf that he will need over four rounds to someday claim his first major championship. He carded seven birdies in a brilliant 66, one stroke off the best score of the day, but all it got him was a tie for 32nd. ... Donald played in the Wyndham Championship three times earlier in his career, when it was known as the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro, but missed the cut for the second time in 2004 and hasn't been back since. That won't change this week, and he will take a break heading into the PGA Tour playoffs and the Ryder Cup, which will be played near his home outside Chicago at Medinah. He ranks 16th in the FedEx Cup standings after finishing fourth a year ago, when he led the money lists on both major tours. ... Luke made bogey on his first hole last week on Kiawah Island's Ocean Course and never got it turned around, shooting 74-76--150 in the first two rounds to make the cut right on the number despite carding bogeys on his last three holes on a windy Friday. Donald was going along nicely at 3-under-par through 10 holes in the third round, which stretched from Saturday to Sunday because of rain. But then he played the last eight holes in 5-over, including a double-bogey 7 on the 16th hole. Still, he collected 11 birdies on the weekend after making only a total of six in the first two rounds.

4. Jason Dufner, United States -- Despite showing in the last year that he is a major player, Dufner was at his best last week in the PGA Championship only when he shot 4-under-par 68 in the rain-interrupted third round on his way to a tie for 27th. This came after he had finished seventh or better in five of his last seven tournaments, including his first two PGA Tour victories, in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and the HP Byron Nelson Championship. ... It's already been a busy season for Duf with 18 events, but he will keep right on going, playing this week in the Wyndham Championship with the PGA Tour playoffs only a week off. This will be his seventh appearance at Greensboro, and he can take the lead in the FedEx Cup standings if he can register his third victory of the season. However, he has not finished in the top 10 in the tournament since a tie for eighth in 2004 at Forest Oaks Country Club. Dufner has missed the cut three times in the event, including two of the last three years at the current venue, Sedgefield Country Club. ... After opening with 74-76--150 last week at Kiawah Island to make the cut on the number, Dufner birdied four of the first seven holes and six in all during the third round, which stretched over two days because of rain. That equaled his total of six birdies on the other 54 holes. After a short break, he made birdies on two of the first three holes but could not record another en route to a 71.

5. Bubba Watson, United States -- Bubba did not play the type of golf that took him to the Masters title until he shot 70-68 on the weekend and climbed to a tie for 11th in the PGA Championship. He wound up in the top 25 for the 13th time in 15 outings on the PGA Tour this year, or every time he has made the cut, including runner-up finishes in the Travelers Championship and the WGC-Cadillac Championship. ... Watson missed the cut in two of his three appearances in the Wyndham Championship, the last in 2009, and he won't be there this week. Instead, he'll take a break before the PGA Tour playoffs start next week at the Barclays. His victory at the Masters and three runner-up finishes on the PGA Tour this season have him in a good spot, fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, after he wound up eighth in each of the last two years. ... Watson started with 73-75--148 last week on the Ocean Course and made the cut by two strokes thanks to two birdies as he finished the second round on the front nine. He saved his best golf for last: He sprinkled five birdies across his card in the final round, equaling the total he had in the first 36 holes. Four of those Sunday birdies came in the first nine holes, and he followed with eight consecutive pars before making a five-foot birdie putt on the final hole. After recording nine bogeys in the first two rounds, including six on Friday. he made only one in each round on the weekend.

6. Zach Johnson, United States -- The 2007 Masters champion opened with an even-par 72 but was overmatched by the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island the rest of the way and wound up in a tie for 70th in the PGA Championship. He finished ahead of only two players who played all four rounds, Matt Every and Cameron Tringale, in recording his worst finish in 20 events this season other than his only missed cut, at the FedEx Classic. ... One of five players with multiple victories on the PGA Tour this season, Zach is in a solid position in the FedEx Cup standings, fourth, so he will pass this week on the Wyndham Championship, which he last played in 2008, tying for eighth. It's been a big bounce-back season for the 2007 Masters champion, who finished 32nd in the standings a year ago and missed the Tour Championship for the second time in the last three years. ... Zach started with 72-73--145 last week in the PGA but finished with 76-79, his two highest scores of the season. He managed at least three birdies each day but was among the leaders with a total of 21 bogeys in addition to a double-bogey 6 on the 18th hole in round three and a triple-bogey on the same hole in the final round, when he shot 6-over 42 on the back. Johnson had trouble the closer he got to the hole. He hit only a little more than half the greens and averaged 30.3 putts per round, including 34 in the final round. He played his last eight holes in 7-over.

7. Hunter Mahan, United States -- After opening with a solid even-par 72 last week in the PGA Championship, Mahan was blown away by the windy conditions in round two, when he shot 80 and missed the cut by two strokes. It was only the second time he has missed the cut in 19 events on the PGA Tour this season, the other coming at the Players Championship in May. ... Hunter has played 19 times this season on the PGA Tour, so he is taking a pass on the Wyndham Championship this week for the fourth consecutive year to rest up for the start of the PGA Tour playoffs next week at the Barclays. One of five multiple winners on the circuit this season, he is in a solid position, sixth, in the FedEx Cup standings after finishing in the top 20 in each of the last three years. ... Mahan was well inside the cut-line last week on the Ocean Course when he birdied the first and third holes in round two after starting at No. 10, but then he carded four consecutive bogeys and five in his last six holes to make his exit. Those early birdies were the only ones he had all day after he recorded five the first day, when his only big number was a double-bogey 6 on the 13th hole that spoiled a back nine that included three birdies in a span of six holes. After hitting 11 of 18 greens in round one and taking only 28 putts, he hit the green in regulation only seven times in the windier conditions in round two, when he took 32 putts.

8. Phil Mickelson, United States -- It's a testament to Mickelson's brilliant short game that he even made it to the weekend after he hit the ball all over the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. But in the end, he did not break 70 in any of his four rounds and finished in a tie for 36th in the PGA Championship. After tying for third in the Masters, he was not a factor in any of the last three majors -- he tied for 65th in the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club and missed the cut in the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. ... Lefty is another player taking this week off ahead of the start of the PGA Tour playoffs. He probably can't wait to get to the Barclays next week even though he has finished in the top 10 only once in 10 appearances in the event, a tie for seventh in 2007 at Westchester. That's because the tournament has been moved this year to Bethpage Black, where he is immensely popular after finishing second there in U.S. Opens in 2002 and 2009. ... Even though Mickelson hit fewer than half the fairways and greens in the first two rounds, he was still in the hunt at 73-71, even par, because he got up-and-down so many times from the sand and the weeds. But after taking only 25 putts in each of the first two rounds, he lost his touch on the weekend, when he needed a total of 63. He shot 73-74 in the last two rounds and seemed to have it going only when he carded three birdies in the first seven holes of the final round. But he was 4-over-par the rest of the way.

9. Webb Simpson, United States -- Playing for the first time since early July because he stayed home for the birth of his second child, Willow Grace, Simpson shot 79-72--151 and missed the cut by one stroke in the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. It was the third missed cut of the season in 17 events for the U.S. Open champion, who also missed on consecutive weeks at the Players Championship and the Memorial Tournament. ... The well-rested Simpson is back this week at Greensboro to defend his first PGA title, which he won by three strokes over George McNeil last year by posting four rounds of 3-under-par 67 or better at Sedgefield Country Club, where he caddied as a teenager. He came back two weeks later to capture the Deutsche Bank Championship in round two of the PGA Tour playoffs and finished third in the FedEx Cup standings behind Bill Haas and Steve Stricker in addition to winding up second on the money list behind Luke Donald. ... Webb came to the ninth hole on the Ocean Course, his last in round two last week, needing a par to play on the weekend but missed a 15-foot putt that left him with a bogey and on the outside looking in. Still, he played much better in the brutal conditions on Friday than he did in the calm weather the day before. The biggest difference came on the greens, where he needed 32 putts on Thursday but only 27 in round two with his belly putter. Simpson played the first six holes of round one in 7-over-par, including a double-bogey 6 on No. 13, and didn't quite recover.

10. Keegan Bradley, United States -- Even though he was not within hailing distance of champion Rory McIlroy at the finish, Bradley put up a solid defense of his PGA title with bookend rounds of 4-under-par 68 that left him in a tie for third. He wound up nine strokes behind McIlroy and might have had a say on Sunday if not for a 5-over-par 77 in the worst conditions of the week on Friday. ... The 26-year-old Bradley has played 21 times on the PGA Tour in his sophomore season, so he needs this week off to rest up for the start of the PGA Tour playoffs next week at the Barclays. He's hoping to get off to a better start in the playoffs because after winning the PGA Championship a year ago, he missed the cut in the first two postseason tournaments and still wound up fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, right where he stood after winning the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational two weeks ago. ... Bradley started the first round last week on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island at No. 10 and went birdie-eagle on his first two holes before three bogeys on the last six holes of the back nine slowed him down. That was nothing like the following day, when the worst of the weather led to four consecutive bogeys through No. 14 and seven in all during his 77. He was at his best in the final round, carding five birdies after an opening bogey. The difference was his belly putter -- he took 62 putts in the middle rounds and 54 the other two days.

11. Ernie Els, South Africa -- Closing out a brutal four-week stretch that started with his surprising victory in the Open Championship, Els could equal the par of 72 only in the first round and struggled to a tie for 48th in the PGA Championship. He has broken 70 only once in his last 10 rounds since claiming the fourth major title of his career last month at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. ... The Big Easy definitely needs this week off at home with his family in Florida heading into the PGA Tour playoffs. He seemed weary at times while missing the cut in the RBC Canadian Open and tying for 45th in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, but his victory in the third major of the year put him in good shape heading toward the PGA Tour playoffs -- he is 11th in the FedEx Cup rankings. Last year he had to play in the Wyndham Championship, tying for 30th, to climb into the top 125 in the standings and get into the playoffs. ... Els carded three birdies in a span of five holes in the middle of his opening 69 last week on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island but did not have another stretch like that all week. He failed to make a birdie in his second round of 75 but still made the cut by three strokes in the windy conditions that sent scores soaring on Friday. Els finished with 73-73 and again carded four birdies on Sunday but added five bogeys. He averaged 30.5 putts per round, taking at least 30 every day.

12. Justin Rose, England -- Only a 7-over-par 79 in the treacherous conditions on Friday, when he hit only eight greens and took 31 putts, kept Rose from challenging winner Rory McIlroy last week in the PGA Championship. He posted one of the best scores of the final round, a 6-punder-par 66, to wind up in a tie for third. That is his best finish in the final major of the year, beating his tie for 12th in 2007 at Southern Hills, and his highest finish in one of the Grand Slam events since he tied for fourth as an amateur in the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. ... With a busy fall schedule in front of him, Rose is enjoying a week off before the start of the PGA Tour playoffs, which he enters ranking 12th in the FedEx Cup standings. He has one victory during the playoffs, in the 2010 BWW championship, which powered him to fifth in the final standings. When he is finished for the PGA Tour season, he will have the Ryder Cup next month and the stretch run in the European Tour's Race to Dubai, in which he lost his lead to McIlroy on Sunday. ... Rose torched the front nine of the Ocean Course for five birdies in the first eight holes last week in the final round and had eight in all during his round. He had a similar start in round three, when he carded five birdies in the first 11 holes, but when play resumed on Sunday morning after Saturday's rainout, he carded three bogeys coming hole to settle for a 70. After recording five birdies in an opening 69, he had none in the wind on Friday, when he racked up seven bogeys.

13. Steve Stricker, United States -- The 45-year-old Stricker might never win a major, but he's not going to go away quietly. He bounced back from a slow start last week in the PGA Championship to shoot 67-71 on the weekend and climb to a tie for seventh. Even though he had not finished in the top 10 in a major since tying for sixth in the 2008 Masters, he has finished in the top 25 nine times since. ... Strick has said he needs his breaks at home to keep him fresh during the long season, and he will take another one this week even though he has played in the Wyndham Championship eight times previously, but not since 2007, when it was placed a week before the start of the PGA Tour playoffs. His tie for seventh at Kiawah Island lifted him to 10th in the FedEx Cup standings, in which he has finished second each of the last three years. ... Stricker started with rounds of 74-73--147 last week on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, making the cut by four strokes by carding only two bogeys as the wind howled on Friday. He carded a 5-under-par 67 in the third round, making five birdies in a seven-hole stretch through No. 11, and had five more birdies to go with four bogeys in a closing 71. After hitting barely half the green in the first two rounds, he hit 24 of 36 on the weekend, when he got his putter going and averaged 26.5 putts per round after needing 29 on each of the first two days. Stricker recorded his third top-10 in his last four outings and sixth of the season.

14. Matt Kuchar, United States -- Kuchar was another player whose hopes were blown away in the second round of the PGA Championship last week; he shot 72-82--154 and missed the weekend by four strokes. It was his first missed cut on the PGA Tour since he missed on consecutive weeks last year in the Open Championship at Royal St. George's and in the RBC Canadian Open. That ended the longest streak of cuts made on the circuit at 24. ... With his place in the top 10 of the FedEx Cup standings cemented by this eight top-10 finishes this season, the most on the PGA Tour, Kooch is taking this week off ahead of the playoffs. He is eighth in the regular-season standings and made his best run during the playoffs two years ago, when he captured the Barclays in the opening week en route to finishing ninth. ... Kuchar rallied with three birdies, his only red numbers all day, in a span of six holes on the back nine Thursday on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island to salvage his round of 72. However, he went in reverse early in round two after starting on the 10th hole, carding three consecutive bogeys through No. 14 and adding two more before he made the turn. Then he played the front nine in 6-over-par, including a double-bogey 6 on the third hole. It added up to his first score in the 80s since he shot 81 in the final round of the 2004 Reno-Tahoe Open. Kuchar hit only 8 of 18 greens in round two and needed 33 putts each day.

15. Dustin Johnson, United States -- Looking for a second consecutive top-10 finish in a major after missing the Masters because of an injury and missing the cut in the U.S. Open, Johnson could not break 70 in any of his four rounds and wound up in a 48th in the PGA Championship. He was coming off a tie for ninth a month ago in the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes and had only one bad round, a 7-over-par 79 in the brutal conditions on Friday that took him out of contention before the weekend. ... DJ has had a pretty good season, considering he was coming off knee surgery and then missed nearly three months because of a back injury, but he will have some work to do when the PGA Tour playoffs begin next week at the Barclays. He's taking this week off and ranks 24th in the FedEx Cup rankings, but he has won twice during the playoffs, at the 2010 BMW Championship and the Barclays a year ago. ... Johnson opened with a solid 71 last week in the PGA, but even that was a little disappointing because of the benign conditions that day. His only birdie in a windy Friday, on the second hole, allowed him to make the cut right on the number. He carded five consecutive bogeys down the stretch in round two, but the worst was making triple-bogey 8 at No. 7 after being just short of the green in two. His chip shot went into the sand, he took two shots to barely get out and then made another poor chip before two-putting. DJ played the weekend in 72-71, including four consecutive birdies to start the front nine Sunday.

16. Adam Scott, Australia -- When Scott opened with a 4-under-par 68 in the first round of the PGA Championship, it seemed as if he had broken any scar tissue remaining from his collapse on the final four holes of the Open Championship last month at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. However, he failed to break 70 the rest of the way on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island and wound up in a tie for 11th. He had a fine major season -- he tied for eighth in the Masters, tied for 15th in the U.S. Open and tied for second in the Open Championship -- but he remains without a Grand Slam title. ... Apparently, Scott has not completely recovered from his Open debacle, so he can use this week off to prepare for the PGA Tour playoffs, in which he might be able to find a bit of consolation. He ranks 32nd in the FedEx Cup standings and has some work to do to ensure his spot in the Tour Championship, which he won in 2006. The Aussie will have to finish in the top 30 to ensure his spot in the finale at East Lake in Atlanta. ... Scotty sprinkled five birdies across his scorecard on the first day last week at Kiawah Island and weathered Friday's windy weather with a 75. He seemed to climb back into contention with four birdies on the last five holes of round three, which was interrupted by rain and carried over to Sunday. When he returned, the magic was gone and he made bogeys on both par-5 holes on the back nine to shoot 70, before finishing with a 73. His long putter kept him alive as he averaged 26.5 putts per round.

17. Brandt Snedeker, United States -- It figured that Snedeker might be in the mix at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island after he tied for third the last time he played on a links course, in the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes last month. However, he struggled from the start and shot 77-78--155 to miss the cut by five strokes, only the second time he missed the weekend in 17 events on the PGA Tour this season, the other coming in the Players Championship. ... Having missed nearly two months because of a cracked rib, Snedeker is going to play this week in the Wyndham Championship, and not only because he needs the points in the FedEx Cup standings, where he ranks 23rd. He claimed his first PGA Tour victory at Forest Oaks in Greensboro in 2007, shooting 9-under-par 63 in the final round to finish two strokes ahead of Jeff Overton, Tim Petrovic and Billy Mayfair. He has had success since the tournament moved to Sedgefield Country Club, tying for fifth in 2009 and tying for eighth in 2010, but he shot 72-74--146 and missed the cut by nine shots last year. ... Despite carding two double bogeys on the back nine after starting on the 10th hole in round two of the PGA, Snedeker put himself within two shots of the cut-line when he carded birdies on the first and third holes. Then he rang up three bogeys in a span of four holes through No. 8 and was done. Snedeker hit fewer than half the greens in regulation and averaged a shade under 30 putts.

18. Rickie Fowler, United States -- Rickie was playing solid golf in the difficult conditions on Friday at the PGA Championship, at 1-over-par for the day for 13 holes, when the wheels suddenly fell off. He played the last five holes of the front nine in 6-over, including a double-bogey 6 on the sixth hole and a triple-bogey 7 on the seventh, and finished at 74-80--154 to miss the cut by four shots. It was his third missed cut of the season, and his 80 matched the highest score of his career on the PGA Tour, established a week earlier in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. ... With 19 tournaments under his belt this season, including his first PGA Tour victory at the Wells Fargo Championship, Rickie is taking this week off ahead of the PGA Tour playoffs. He ranks 18th in the FedEx Cup standings after finishing in the top 20 and making it to the Tour Championship each of the last two years. Fowler also is hoping to make the Ryder Cup team for the second consecutive time after being a Captain's Pick two years ago at Celtic Manor. ... Fowler carded only two birdies last week on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, on the second and 10th holes in the first round. He hit only 5 of 14 fairways and 6 of 18 greens in the breezy conditions on Friday, and it would have been worse had he not taken only 28 putts after needing 34 in the first round. In calm conditions the day before, Fowler ranked among the leaders by hitting 11 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens in regulation.

19. Bill Haas, United States -- The reigning FedEx Cup champion played his best golf last week in the PGA Championship when he posted a 3-under-par 69 in the third round. That put him in position for a second consecutive top-20 finish in the majors after his tie for 19th in the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. However, he closed with a 73, carding five bogeys on the last eight holes, to slide to a tie for 32nd. ... Even though it comes a week before the start of the PGA Tour playoffs, Haas will tee it up this week in the Wyndham Championship for the seventh consecutive year despite missing the cut five times in his eight appearances in the tournament. That's probably because tournament officials gave him a sponsor's exemption in 2002, when he still was attending Wake Forest. His best result in the tournament was a tie for 10th in 2009, when he opened with a 9-under-par 61 at Sedgefield and followed with 69-66 before a closing 70 left him three strokes out of the playoff in which Ryan Moore beat Kevin Stadler and Jason Bohn. ... Haas started 75-73--148 last week on the Ocean Course to make the cut by three strokes thanks to playing the difficult back nine in even-par 36 despite the windiest conditions of the week. Then he carded only a single bogey in his third round of 69 and started the final round the same way, recording three birdies in a bogey-free front nine of 33. However, he didn't make a single birdie while playing the back nine in 4-over 40.

20. Lee Westwood, England -- Seemingly on the verge of claiming his first major title after recording two top-10 finishes in the Grand Slam events in each of the last two years, Westwood suddenly has lost his major mojo. After tying for 45th in the Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes last month, he shot 75-77--152 and missed the cut by two strokes last week in the PGA Championship. Those results came after he tied for third in the Masters, tied for 10th in the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club and tied for eighth in the PGA last year at Atlanta Athletic Club. ... The Englishman said he made his decision to rejoin the PGA Tour this season for the first time since 2006 while watching the playoffs from his couch back home in England last year. He got off to a strong start in the U.S. with four top-five finishes and then tied for 10th in the U.S. Open. However, Westy has not played well since and has some work to do if he is to reach the Tour Championship for the first time. He is 46th in the FedEx Cup standings, and only the top 30 will play at East Lake in Atlanta. ... Westwood carded only two birdies in each round last week on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, where he probably lost his chance to play on the weekend when he flared his approach shot into the water en route to a double-bogey 6 on the 12th hole Friday. He could not take advantage of the benign conditions in round one, when he recorded four bogeys in a span of six holes while finishing on the front nine.
