Crossing Paths With Johan

Edfors started working with a new coach last year. Starting this year just outide top 400 on the world rankings and now well in top 50.

He is one of the longest on the European tour.
Thanks for these insights, Metallion. Judging from his post-round interview, he is also a very polite, well-spoken young man. I hope to see him in action personally at the 2007 Masters. If not there, then my guess is that, as the Barclays Scottish Open Champion, he definitely will be invited to the Barclays Classic at Westchester in New York next August, where LBG will once again be conducting their Golf Academy.

On second thought...

Now that the Barclays is the first of the four FedEx Cup playoff events, the field is limited to the low 144 year-long FedEx point qualifiers. And, as I understand it, each of these must be a PGA TOUR member. Given the non-eligibility of players such as Johan, that means that we could have a winner of one (or more) of the four Majors not eligible for the season-ending Big Bang. Hmmm...

Henning, can you tell us anything more about this newcomer to the scene of World Class Golf?
