POULTER POWER AT THE "ASIAN MAJOR" BARCLAYS

England’s Ian Poulter held off a brave challenge from Liang Wen-chong of China to claim a thrilling one-stroke victory at the Barclays Singapore Open on Sunday for his first triumph in two years.

The Ryder Cup star battled to a one-over-par 72 at the Sentosa Golf Club to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the star-studded US$5 million event co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour for the first time.

It was Poulter’s eighth career European Tour win, which was worth US$833,330, and his first since winning the 2007 Dunlop Phoenix Open in Japan. However, the flamboyant Englishman needed to overcome a mid-round wobble with four bogeys over six holes to end his title drought.

Sigh... another blow to Asian golfer.

One Billion Dollar Man

According to Forbes magazine, Tiger Woods has become the first sportsman to earn $1billion in the sporting industry.

Forbes also claims Woods had earned $895million heading into 2009, and says his $20.5million on-course earnings this year plus his $100million annual off-course total means his career earnings are now into 10 figures.

And they believe that the $10million cheque he banked for winning this year's FedEX Cup title took him past the magical milestone.

Fabulous Phil vs Tiger Roar!!!

Phil Mickelson capped off a tumultuous summer at home with a spectacular rally Sunday to win the Tour Championship but still saw his rival walk off with the bigger pay cheque.

Mickelson won the battle, a three-stroke victory at East Lake to cap an emotional year and earned a $3 million bonus, on top of his $1.35 million for winning the Tour Championship, while Woods won the war, a second-time FedEx Cup champion despite a pitched Sunday afternoon that taxed pocket calculators and prognosticators everywhere.

The world number one claimed a USD10 million bonus as FedEx Cup champion.

Never have they shared the spotlight, each going home with a trophy that was meaningful in its own way.

Brilliance at the BMW

Despite without any major , Tiger Woods won for the sixth time this year (71st career victory) by a massive eight shots at the BMW Championship in Chicago. This win has assured Woods the No. 1 ranking going into the final tournament of the FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize. After Shooting a course record of 62, he never looked back and shoot another brilliance 68 and won for the fifth time at Cog Hill, and it was his 10th career victory by at least eight shots.

Tiger Woods' lead at the top of the world rankings with 16.04 points bigger than it has been for the past 12 months.

Furyk's five-under round of 66 saw him make a late charge up the leaderboard though there was never any real chance of him overhauling Woods.

As Furyk said:“It felt like we had a tournament within a tournament,” . “Tiger was seven ahead. He was kind of running away. It was kind of a tournament for second place.”

Without the points reset, which narrows the gap between Nos. 1 and 2 to 250 points and guarantees the FedEx Cup to any player that is in the top 5 that wins the Tour Championship, Woods would need only to remain upright and lucid to claim his second FedEx Cup.
