Not only was it good in terms of a comeback he was right in the mix with a chance to win the inaugural FedEx Cup but then very few have figured out how to put one past Mr Tiger Eldrich Woods so we will not hold that one against Steve. This was his finest season on the PGA Tour after the one in 1996 when he had two victories to his name and seven top ten finishes. But he made three times as much money this time around, quite comfortably his best performance in the money stakes and the victory at the Barclays Championship with a strong field must have been special. The phenomenal season also allowed him to be a part of the U.S. Presidents Cup team. The only other time he was on that team was in 1996. But this time he has got a shot at the more prestigious Ryder Cup and it is definitely possible for him to make it to the Ryder Cup team. He just has to continue his consistent performance into next year and he will be right up there with a chance to make it to Valhalla. He has also struck it big in the golf rankings reaching a career high of 4th at one point and is now perched at the 5th spot one behind Big Easy. Of course now he would obviously like to add a major to his kitty which would require him to pull his game up another level. It was definitely a brilliant year for Steve Stricker.
