Kuchar wins playoff for Barclays title

Golf Betting Lines

08/29/2010 - Paramus, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Kuchar birdied the first playoff hole Sunday to defeat Martin Laird and win The Barclays, the first playoff event of 2010.

Kuchar fired a five-under 66 and was the only player to post four rounds in the 60s for the week. He was the first in at 12-under 272 and Laird, the third-round leader, joined him after an even-par 71 after a three-putt bogey on 18.

Kuchar knocked his approach to two feet at the par-four closing hole at Ridgewood Country Club. Laird wasn't able to convert a long birdie putt, but holed his par putt to put some pressure on Kuchar.

He rolled in the putt for his third PGA Tour win and second in as many years.

Kuchar moved atop the FedEx Cup points list with the victory.

Steve Stricker (66) and Kevin Streelman (68) tied for third place at 10-under 274.

Rory Sabbatini (64), Vaughn Taylor (69), Ryan Palmer (69) and Jason Day (71) shared fifth place at minus-nine.

Tiger Woods carded a solid four-under 67 on Sunday and tied for 12th place at seven-under 277.

Woods did enough to advance to next week's field at the Deutsche Bank Championship. He was No. 112 on the FedEx Cup points list, but his finish moved him into the top 100, which is the yardstick for entry at the TPC Boston.
