J.J. Henry may not get to play a practice round next week before the first event in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup.
Normally, that would be important since The Barclays is being played on a new course at Ridgewood Country Club. Henry has a pretty compelling reason, though.
He's going to become a daddy again.
After Henry played his way into the Playoffs with a final-round 62 at the Wyndham Championship, he was headed home to Fort Worth where his wife was scheduled to deliver their second child on Monday.
"Just a great way to end what's going to be an even better week tomorrow," Henry said after tying for fourth to post his only top-10 finish of the year.
Henry was one of five players who moved into the top 144 in the FedExCup standings on Sunday -- jumping from 177th to 137th. Henry, who is in the final year of his exemption for winning the 2006 Buick Championship, made a similar move on the money list.
