It was clear from the outset that Djokovic would not be denied in this match. For starters,...

Sergio Garcia fired a seven-under 64 to storm to the top of the Deutsche Bank Championship leaderboard at 13-under. Garcia went out early and watched his lead hold up as 18-hole co-leader Phil Mickelson fought his way to an even-par 71 to stay at eight-under.

Phil Mickelson and Brian Davis bullied TPC Boston on their way to an eight-under 63, but that still isn’t good enough to give them anything more than a one-stroke advantage. This is still anyone’s tournament, and it should be a wild ride as the FedEx Cup’s top-100 players continue the second leg of this four-stage playoff. I have my eye on three guys in particular who have a strong...
