Furyk owns 12 career PGA Tour victories, including two this season.

Second Rate

Tiger Woods is the top-ranked player in the world, but the man in the No. 2 spot may surprise you. With his victory at the Canadian Open, Jim Furyk surpassed Phil Mickelson on the World Ranking, just part of his already-successful season, reports Bob Harig. Story

BOB HARIG'S 5 THINGS TO BANK ON

1. It wasn't long ago that the 84 Lumber Classic was being hailed as one of the best new tournaments on the schedule. Now, six months after 84 Lumber surprisingly pulled the plug, there are plenty who are still wondering what happened. This week's tournament is the last, leaving Pennsylvania without a regular PGA Tour event.

2. Vijay Singh heads the field at the 84 Lumber, but a foursome of U.S. Ryder Cup players will get plenty of attention: David Toms, Chad Campbell, Scott Verplank and Brett Wetterich are playing before heading to Ireland.

3. Michelle Wie will get the most scrutiny of the week, and if she misses another cut by a wide margin, calls for her to stop playing against men will intensify.

4. The HSBC World Match Play Championship got a big boost with the addition of Tiger Woods, who is playing for the first time since losing in the final to Mark O'Meara in 1998.

5. The match play event will be an excellent tune-up for the Ryder Cup for both Woods and Jim Furyk -- unless you think that 36 holes a day could be too much.

FANTASY FOCUS

Vijay Singh's game finally appears to be coming around just in time for the 84 Lumber's swan song at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort's Mystic Rock course -- a setting in which Singh has fared well in the past, finishing T-13 last year and winning in 2004. He also possesses the two skills most agree are necessary there: hitting it long and hitting it on the green.
