PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — For the first three weeks of the 2008 season, Fred Funk led the Charles Schwab Cup race. For the next three weeks, the leader was Scott Hoch. Bernhard Langer is hoping to start a first-place run of his own now that he owns the top spot in the standings. By winning last week’s Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach, Langer took a 363-point lead over Hoch. Langer has earned Charles Schwab Cup points in five of his six events entered this season. Funk is in third, while Brad Bryant and Jay Haas are in the fourth and fifth positions, respectively.
