You can see the worried look in their eyes. Like the driver picured above, wondering who's going to catch up? The golfers are in a race too.

Some players on the bubble of the Fed Ex Cup point standings are starting to worry as hot players are on their heels, and perhaps the chance for a $10 Million dollar prize vanishes.

Your current points leader is Ernie Els, the winner of two tournaments and numerous high finishes. He has 1,751 Fed Ex Cup Points.

Number six belongs to another winner this season in Tim Clarke. He is my back-up to Justin Rose in fantasy this week. Clarke has 1,280 points.

The first five golfers in this list will be hard to bump down any further, but there are plenty of chances to get into the top 130 or so by playoff time for other hopefuls. Then you have to get hot.

In the seventh spot is Ben Crane, who I have used a bit in fantasy this season. I have found using players on the Top Ten of the Fed Ex Cup point standings gets you success, sometimes.

Crane was in the C-player spot and has done well this season. Crane has 1,222 points.

Next is Anthony Kim. now recovered from a t...
