Dustin Johnson won the rain-shortened Barclays last year. The first event of
the FedExCup playoffs was cut to three rounds by Hurricane Irene. Saturday`s
final round was played early in the day to beat the storm and Johnson closed
with a 6-under 65 at Plainfield Country Club to beat 2010 winner Matt Kuchar
by two strokes. The tournament rotates courses on a yearly basis and will be
contested on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park this year. The last
event played there was the 2009 U.S. Open, which Lucas Glover won by two
strokes over David Duval, Phil Mickelson and Ricky Barnes. Neither Glover nor
Duval qualified for the playoffs.
