Here are GolfChannel.com’s Power Rankings, a weekly barometer of the hottest players in the game:
| 2010 Power Rankings: Week 37 |
| RK(LW) | NAME | COMMENTS |
| 1(2) | Martin Kaymer
| Inactive since his PGA Championship breakthrough, the German showed no signs of rust at the KLM Open with rounds of 67-67-66-66 and a four-stroke walkover. |
| | Matt Kuchar
| |
Nearly bedridden, Kuchar doesn’t take the BMW crown but his tie for third is good enough to keep him atop the FedEx Cup points list, if not the Power Rankings. |
|
| | Dustin Johnson
| |
| He put Pebble Beach and Whistling Straits behind him for good with a stellar Sunday at Cog Hill and becomes the only twenty-something with more than three Tour titles (four). |
|
| | Steve Stricker
| |
| Maybe it’s the approach of deer hunting season or the cooler weather, whatever the case Stricker continued his postseason tear last week and has finished T-3 (Barclays), ninth (Deutsche Bank) and T-8 (BMW Championship) in the playoffs. |
|
| | Edoardo Molinari
| |
Was overshadowed by his brother last week (Francesco, who finished T-8 at KLM Open), but the Italian has two wins, a runner-up and a third-place showing in his last seven starts. Somewhere Monty is smiling.
|
|
| | Louis Oosthuizen
| |
| The “Big Oosy” rebounded last week at the KLM Open (T-4) following back-to-back missed cuts. |
|
| | Jason Day
| |
| The BMW Championship may have been his worst tournament of the year (T-54) but the young Aussie is still among the favorites for next week’s Tour Championship. |
|
| | Paul Casey
| |
| Not sure which will haunt him longer, playing the last six at Cog Hill in 3 over to finish alone in second place or having to watch the Ryder Cup from home. |
|
| | Charley Hoffman
| |
Post-Deutsche Bank Championship hangover lasted until Sunday’s 69, but at third on the FedEx Cup points list he controls his own destiny at East Lake.
|
|
| | Luke Donald
| |
| Despite his tie for 37th at the BMW, Englishman is still a solid Ryder Cup pick considering that he’s missed just one cut in his last 14 worldwide starts. |
