ATLANTA – The New England Patriots don’t start the Super Bowl with a 14-point lead. Alabama doesn’t have a 10-point advantage at kickoff in the college football national championship game. The Golden State Warriors didn’t start the NBA Finals with a 15-point cushion.<\/p>\n

PGA Tour player Max Homa wonders whether the FedEx Cup Playoffs points leader should have a 2-shot lead over everyone else before the first tee shot is hit in the season-ending Tour Championship.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I don’t know,” Homa said Friday, of the staggered scoring system, which the PGA Tour only uses at the Tour Championship. “We talk a lot about it. I listen to a lot of what [media] say about it. I’ve been saying this lately. I don’t think it’s perfect. I don’t know what the answer is, so I’m not going to complain about it.”<\/p>\n

“I think that we’re not football, we’re not basketball, we’re not baseball. Just because the Patriots are undefeated do we need to then start them with a two-touchdown lead? Because it feels like that year they should have won the Super Bowl; they didn’t. That’s football, but golf is different.”<\/p>\n

Homa’s comments came after he posted the second-lowest round ever at the Tour Championship on Friday, a bogey-free 62 that still left him 10 shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n
