Aaron Rai picked a good time to earn his first PGA Tour victory — on Sunday at the regular season-ending Wyndham Championship. The 29-year-old Englishman moved from No. 53 to No. 25 in the FedEx Cup point standings entering this week's FedEx Cup Playoffs. That will bolster his chances as he attempts to advance past the BMW Championship for the first time in three tries.
