    Casey complicates FedExCup scenarios

    ATLANTA – A PGA Tour official approached Paul Casey, the 54-hole leader at the Tour Championship, following his Saturday 65 and began running through the various scenarios that could end with him winning the FedExCup. “I said it's all irrelevant if I don't get the job done,” said Casey, who leads Kevin Kisner and Xander Schauffele by two strokes.

After that, he was arrested for DUI in May and completed an out-of-state "private intensive program" this summer to address some issues he was having with prescription medication. Nevertheless, his latest update was encouraging and said it's "nice not to live in pain anymore" regarding the nerve pain his back was causing for the rest of his body.
