When his cell phone lost power Wednesday night and its alarm failed to go off causing him to miss his pro-am tee time at Ridgewood Country Club, two-time 2010 tour winner Jim Furyk gave PGA officials no choice but to make him ineligible for The Barclays, the first of four FedEx Cup playoff events in which Furyk is currently No. 3 in pursuit of a $10 million prize. Furyk was scheduled to start on the 11th hole in a shotgun that began at 7:30 a.m., but awoke at 7:23 a.m. to discover the predicament. Throwing on some clothes and shoes, but bypassing belt and socks, he bolted out of his hotel room and rushed to Ridgewood, arriving at 7:35 a.m. Unfortunately, the race to the course proved to be his best -- and only -- drive of a lost weekend opportunity.
