Slocum wins Barclays
In a major upset on the PGA Tour, Heath Slocum won the 2009 Barclays, beating out Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington, Tiger Woods, and Steve Stricker by one shot.
Els shot a 5-under 66 on Sunday to get the early clubhouse lead, but it didn’t hold up. Woods, Harrington, and Stricker all had chances to get to 9-under, but couldn’t manage. Stricker was at 9-under heading into the 18th hole, but a bogey five kept him from forcing a playoff.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs continue on Thursday with the Deutsche Bank Championship.
