QUICK CHIPS:
All-time leader: Chris Moawad’s latest Tour Championship victory was the 5th of his career… Streak over: Moawad (who last won the Tour Championship in 2013) became the tournament’s first multi-winner since 2011, ending a streak of 8 consecutive different champions since the tournament expanded to a long course format… Hat trick: It’s been 5 years since a golfer last won 2 majors in the same season. Moawad’s latest “double” was the 3rd of his career (2006 and 2008)… Double that: Moawad’s win Sunday pushed him into double digits (10) in major victories, most on Tour… 4-stars: despite some worrisome Yelp reviews, Penmar’s Tour Championship debut earned high marks from the Tour golfers… The numbers game: Sunday’s runner-up finish was Gerry Vaughan’s 3rd straight top-3 finish at the Tour Championship. Doug Vargas’s 3rd place finish was his 6th consecutive top-4 finish in a major. Walter Vargas and Clint Crump made their first Tour Championship start in 5 years… Tweet-tweet: With no birdies, $6 rolls over to the season-ending Griffith Observatory Championship… 2020: Vista Valencia will host the 18th Tour Championship.
