With his win at the 2016 Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday, Rory McIlroy surged into fourth place in the FedEx Cup standings with two more playoff events to play.

McIlroy finished the tournament at 15 under par, two shots ahead of Paul Casey.

Reigning FedEx Cup champion Jordan Spieth had a Deutsche Bank Championship to forget, finishing in a tie for 21st. While his tournament wasn't an abject failure, he spent the final two days well behind the leaders, with little hope of adding a third PGA Tour title to his 2016 resume.

As a result, he slipped from fifth to sixth in the FedEx Cup standings. If recent history is an indicator, though, Spieth's fortunes may be turning around soon, per Golf Channel's Justin Ray:
