The 2013 FedEx Cup schedule is hitting the home stretch, as the field dwindles to the top 70 players in the point standings entering next week's BMW Championship.

If not for Phil Mickelson's final-round charge at the Scottish Open and his virtuoso performance to capture the Open Championship's coveted Claret Jug, Stenson might have had two additional wins worldwide in 2013.

DeLaet is a wiry Canadian who came in third and is praised for his power, but not often enough for his precision. He hit over 73 percent of fairways last week, but only missed five in the entire tournament at The Bar...
