When the FedEx Cup was devised, this has to be the kind of scenario officials envisioned. Midway through the second event of the four-tournament playoff, the top of the standings are filled with golf's biggest stars.

Tiger Woods leads the way, and is closely followed by Adam Scott. In third, a little further back but well withing striking distance, sits Phil Mickelson.

These three heavyweights, who are also the leading contenders for Player of the Year honors, are followed by a string of accomplished golfers, but I'll be surprised if one of the aforementioned three doesn't take the top spot.

Take a look at the leaderboard, and then I'll dig deeper into Scott, Mickelson and Woods:

2013 FedEx Cup Standings Rank Player Top-10s Wins Points 1 Tiger Woods 8 5 4,009 2 Adam Scott 6 2 3,847 3 Phil Mickelson 7 2 2,624 4 Matt Kuchar 7 2 2,540 5 Justin Rose 6 1 2,397 6 Brandt Snedeker 8 2 2,218 7 Graham Delaet 6 0 1,806 8 Bill Haas 9 1 1,718 9 Jordan Spieth 7 1 1,683 10 Gary Woodland 2 1 1,633  

Adam Scott



On the strength of his win at the Barclays, Scott was able to close the gap on Woods. However, the 33-year-old Australian looked like he was going to throw all that hard work away with an awful first round at the Deutsche Bank Championship by firing a 73. 



Undeterred, Scott immediately turned it around by firing five-under 66 on Saturday to move to three-under for the tournament. 

He is still 10 strokes off the lead and tied for 53rd place, but at least he has his game moving in the right direction. With continued solid play, Scott can atone for his bad round and he can easily still win the Cup. 

But he is looking up the leaderboard to our next two golfers.
