ATLANTA -- You know the old saying: Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.Dustin Johnson? Oh, hes just good -- no luck necessary. OK, hes better than good. Already this year, his three victories include a major and a WGC event. Now he might be 18 holes away from a fourth title at the season-ending Tour Championship.The PGA Tour? Well, theyre just lucky. Or at least they will be if Johnson can clinch the win Sunday afternoon -- and every other important trophy in the process.With a victory, Johnson -- who is tied for the 54-hole lead with Kevin Chappell and 2 strokes ahead of Rory McIlroy and Ryan Moore -- will claim both the tournament title and the FedEx Cup to go along with his no-doubt-about-it Player of the Year award as voted on by his peers.Its a good look for the PGA Tour, as the system isnt necessarily set up to reward the best player and yet, thats exactly what it will do for the second consecutive year.Thats ideally what the PGA Tour will have, said Jordan Spieth, who swept those awards last year, but I dont think the system is set up for that. Honestly, the system is quite the opposite, but I think its worked the last couple of years. It happens in every sport. The Patriots went undefeated and lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl.We collectively understand it better in other sports. Teams make the playoffs, then compete against each other and the winner is the champion -- even if that team wasnt the best one during the course of the season.Maybe because theres no head-to-head matches, or maybe because a player can win the entire FedEx Cup without winning the last event -- or any event, really -- that we struggle more with the idea that a PGA Tour playoff champion can be someone other than the best player of that season.It doesnt always work out that way. Actually, it more frequently doesnt work out that way.Two years ago, Billy Horschel won the final two playoff events to claim a deserving FedEx title -- but there was little argument in favor of him as the best player of the season.Same for the previous two years, when Henrik Stenson and Brandt Snedeker each double-dipped for hardware here at East Lake Golf Club. And the two years before that, too, when the winners of both trophies were Bill Haas and Jim Furyk.We have to go all the way back to 2009 for the last time players split these two honors. That year afforded us one of the games most awkward photos of all time, with Tiger Woods holding his FedEx Cup trophy while standing next to Phil Mickelson holding his Tour Championship trophy.Thats what wed call a bad look for the PGA Tour -- even if its exactly how the system is set up.If they dont get lucky, it could happen again.While the dream scenario, the one with no controversy or lamentation over the end result, is a singular player sweeping the end-of-season trophies to put a neat little bow around the campaign, the so-called nightmare scenario is still very much at play.If Chappell wins the tournament, but Johnson finishes in the top eight, theyll each get a trophy. If Moore wins, Johnson only needs to be in the top seven. If McIlroy wins, Johnson will need a solo second-place finish in order to claim the FedEx Cup title.Think about that: Theres a very plausible scenario in which one of the worlds best players can take two of the final three playoff events, then stand next to Johnson for an awkward post-round photo op while each raises his respective trophy in triumph.Thats probably not what the PGA Tours executives want, but the way the system is set up, thats what they might get.Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.The PGA Tour will get lucky once again if Johnson is as good for the seasons final 18 holes as hes been all year. If not, Sunday afternoon could offer the first split trophy ceremony in seven years, as awkward as that might be. http://www.authenticshopredskins.com/Authentic_Rob-Kelley_Redskins_Jersey/ . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. http://www.authenticshopredskins.com/Authentic_Ryan-Anderson_Redskins_Jersey/ . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. http://www.authenticshopredskins.com/Womens-Justin-Rogers-Redskins-Jersey/ . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. http://www.authenticshopredskins.com/Authentic_Ryan-Kerrigan_Redskins_Jersey/ . Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million. But he said he did nothing improper when he sold those shares over the next two days. http://www.authenticshopredskins.com/Authentic_Derek-Carrier_Redskins_Jersey/ .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. CHICAGO -- Maybe the Chicago White Sox will change their luck by changing the name of their stadium.No guarantees, though.The ballpark currently called U.S. Cellular Field will become known as Guaranteed Rate Field starting in November. The team and the mortgage company announced a 13-year naming rights deal Wednesday.We view this partnership as an opportunity to connect a successful Chicago business with a historic baseball franchise, and we look forward to growing this important relationship over the coming years as millions of fans enjoy White Sox baseball at Guaranteed Rate Field, White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said.The White Sox are below .500 and are on the verge of missing the playoffs for the 10th time in 11 seasons since the 2005 team won the World Series.This is a very solid partner that is interested in helping us drive people to the ballpark and giving us the best opportunity to put the best possible product out on the field, White Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing Brooks Boyer said. The revenue generated for our club ... goes back out into the field. This is a nice step today toward continuing to fulfill the vision of putting the best possible club out on the field that can be out there for our fans.The agreement was approved by the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, which owns the ballpark. The White Sox hold a one-year option that could extend the deal through 2030.Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, though IFSA chairman Manny Sanchez said the agreement will generate up to $6.dddddddddddd4 million for the authority. He also said the IFSA figures to save at least $15 million and as much as $20-$25 million in potential facilities improvements as part of a compromise with the team for approving the naming rights deal.This is something that is really, really a serendipitous godsend that we have in my view encountered on behalf of the taxpayers of the state of Illinois, Sanchez said.The ballpark has been named U.S. Cellular Field since 2003 after being called new Comiskey Park from 1991 to 2002. Team personnel and fans refer to it as The Cell and on occasion Comiskey.Boyer said a new nickname will grow organically and ultimately be determined by fans.We talked about it, Guaranteed Rate President and CEO Victor Ciardelli said. We feel the fans should decide and the fans should make the decision.Another thing: Guaranteed Rates logo has an arrow pointing down. While customers might see that as a good direction for their rates, thats not the way teams want to go.That fact wasnt lost on Boyer, who said the White Sox and Guaranteed Rate are working on logos for the ballpark.Hopefully, well have the ERAs that follow that arrow and well have the winning percentage that goes the other way, Boyer said.
