Want to get on TPC Boston? Bring Your Lobster Wedge

What are you doing next Labor Day? If you'd like an end-of-summer golf sojourn in New England, you always can enter the Deutsche Bank Championship -- as a volunteer.

According to tournament organizers, the Deutsche Bank has 1,725 volunteers this year. They come from 20 states and range in age from 10 to 90. There are 183 families who volunteer together, including a 90-year-old woman who volunteers with her 70-year-old daughter.

Of course, the volunteers are unpaid -- but they are feted and fed. Tonight the tournament will host a celebration for them, with a catered lobster dinner, live music and a fireworks show.

John Senden makes double-eagle at Deutsche Bank Championship

NORTON, Mass. -- John Senden made a double-eagle 2 on the 562-yard, par-5 second hole in the second round of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Saturday.

It was the third double-eagle on the PGA Tour in 2009. Senden used a 4-iron for the 250-yard shot.

"It landed about maybe 10 yards on the green and rolled right in," said Senden, who carded a 7-under 64 and was at 9-under for the tournament, three behind leaders Jim Furyk and Sean O'Hair. "I didn't see it go in, but it looked like it was just going to roll to the back of the green or just over the back, and then when I saw the cheers go up, I knew it was in the hole, so it was exciting."

Senden said he'd had one other double-eagle, at a state open event in his native Australia.

Leishman fires 62 in Boston

NORTON, Mass. -- Marc Leishman, a rookie from Australia who came into this week at 93rd on the FedEx Cup points list, needed a big week at the Deutsche Bank Championship if he was to crack the 70-man field for next week's BMW Championship.

So far, so good.

After carding a ho-hum 70 in round one, Leishman ran up seven birdies and an eagle for a 9-under 62 in the second round Saturday, vaulting to a tie for third place at 10-under, tied with Retief Goosen (67 Saturday) and two shots behind leaders Jim Furyk (67) and Sean O'Hair (64).

"I hit the ball really well," said Leishman, who carded a 29 on his first nine, the back nine at TPC Boston. "It was great getting out there really early on the smooth greens and no wind, so it was low scoring conditions, and I made the most of it, which was nice to do for a change."

Leishman's round was one off the course record, held by Vijay Singh and Mike Weir.

Possible FedEx loophole the talk of the range at the Deutsche Bank

NORTON, Mass. -- The joke on the driving range at TPC Boston on Tuesday concerned the new week-to-week volatility in the FedEx Cup playoffs. Scuttlebutt said that a player could advance all the way to the 30-man Tour Championship and still fail to finish in the top 125 on the money list, thus losing his Tour card.

But is that actually true?

Lee Janzen is the low man on the money list (149th) among those in the field at the Deutsche Bank this week. He barely made it into the field at last week's Barclays, the first stop in the four-week playoff series, and then made the cut to get to 119th in FedEx Cup points. Again, that was barely enough to make it into the 120-man field at the Deutsche Bank, which starts Friday.

According to Kevin Sutherland, who was hitting balls on the range Tuesday after losing a three-man playoff with Sergio Garcia and Vijay Singh at the Barclays, the two-time U.S. Open champion Janzen was making light of his situation. He was apparently convinced that by doing just enough to get to 70th in FedEx points after this week (the top 70 make the BMW the next week in St. Louis) and then doing just enough there to move to 30th (top 30 make the Tour Championship), he could get all the way to the Tour's ultimate event while remaining outside the top 125 on the money list.

Even if that math is right, which seems far-fetched, Rule 2-2 states that any player who ends the playoffs in the top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list shall keep his card the following year.

In other words, the Tour just saved Janzen from doing a whole lot of unnecessary calculation.
