If The Barclays is any indication, this playoff series is going to be one hell of a race to the Cup.
Liberty National stepped up... And stepped on La Kucharacha, crushing his hopes of victory.
Gary Woodland located that the pleasant-laid plans don't continually maintain up on Sunday, regardless of how well you're gambling.
Leader Kevin Chappell all of sudden found out where he turned into while he hit the back 9 and promptly were given lost. Given that he has yet to get his first PGA Tour win, that is not anything for him to stress approximately -- it's just every other studying revel in. But after that course report on Saturday, this one's gotta hurt.

(We nevertheless do not know if he will play next week. Stay tuned.)
Numerous other players, like Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, made final spherical costs that fell simply short of success.
And there, in the midst of it all, Adam Scott casually shot a bogey-free round of 66 to post the early lead in the clubhouse. And I do mean early -- he was in the 8th group ahead of the leaders. Adam later said he didn't expect his score to hold up with so many others just a shot or two behind him.
But maintain up is exactly what it did... And Adam Scott receives his 2d win of the season. He actions to #2 inside the FedExCup rankings, a digital lock to attain Atlanta within the Top five. And, if he can control to grab any other win or the Cup -- or maybe each -- he simply may seize Player of the Year honors from Tiger.

Though he won early on, no person knew it
Till the sector proved they couldn?T undo it!
Adam?S 6-below run
Stole the thunder from some
With the lead early on… till they blew it. The photo came from the tournament page at PGATOUR.com.
