Key stat

1 Player to win this event in backto-back years: Ben Hogan, who did it twice, in 1946-47 and 195253. Justin Rose will try to match the feat. Last year he closed with a 64 at Colonial Country Club to hold off Brooks Koepka, who shot a final-round 63 but fell three shots short.

FedExCup

Koepka keeps piling up trophies, adding another Wanamaker Trophy to his cache of four majors with his victory in last weekend’s 101st PGA Championship. Now he’s in a strong position to add his first FedExCup title. There are 43 regular-season events, followed by three playoff events. Justin Rose is the defending champion.
