ATLANTA – Jhonattan Vegas doesn't have a realistic chance of claiming the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus even if he wins the Tour Championship.
It's having any chance at all that makes this season so remarkable.
''Best year of my career so far,'' Vegas said Wednesday with as broad a smile as could be found at East Lake. ''It's just crazy to think of this from where we started.''
Still vivid are memories of how uncertain his career felt a year ago.
Vegas failed to keep his card, and then his season got even worse.
