NOTES ON SINGH'S WIN: At 45 years, 6 months, 2 days, Vijay Singh is the third-oldest champion in The Barclays' 41-year history, behind Bob Murphy (48/5/15 in 1968) and J.C. Snead (46/8/0 in 1987). His 21 wins since turning 40 are the most by a player over the age of 40; Sam Snead had 17. ...

Singh

Thirteen of Singh's 33 career PGA TOUR victories have come when he was trailing heading into the final round. ...

Sunday's win is his fourth at The Barclays (1993, 1995, 2006, 2008) in 16 starts (no other player has won the event more than twice). Singh has eight top-10 finishes at The Barclays, which is tied for second all-time with Fred Couples, Tom Kite and Tom Watson (Jack Nicklaus is first with nine). ...

Singh becomes the 18th winner of The Barclays (of 42) to come from behind to claim the title. Three of his four wins at The Barclays were come-from-behind victories. ...

Singh wins his third playoff at The Barclays (3-0). In addition to beating Sergio Garcia and Kevin Sutherland in Sunday's playoff, he previously defeated Mark Wiebe in 1993 after a three-hole playoff and defeated Doug Martin in 1995 after a five-hole playoff. Singh now has an 8-4 record in playoffs. -- Stewart Moore (7:35 p.m. ET)

SINGH, GARCIA, SUTHERLAND TOGETHER NEXT WEEK: One of the unique aspects of the Playoffs is that the top three players in points going into each of the four tournaments are grouped together for the first two rounds.

Since Vijay Singh, Sergio Garcia and Kevin Sutherland are first, second and third, respectively, in points following Sunday's playoff at The Barclays, that means the trio will be paired together for the first two rounds of the Deutsche Bank Championship that starts next Friday at TPC Boston. -- Mike McAllister (7 p.m. ET)

FEDEXCUP NOTES: Kevin Streelman didn't win The Barclays but he did make the biggest move this week in FedExCup points, up 65 spots from 102nd to 35. If he makes the cut next week at the Deutsche Bank Championship, he has a great chance to get into both of the final two events as well. ...

Tiger Woods dropped 14 spots, to 15th, and will probably drop another 20 or so next week. He's definitely out of THE TOUR Championship field, assuming he doesn't decide to play the BMW Championship on his knees. ...

There will be nine new members of the top 30 this week, with Kevin Sutherland having started as the highest of the seeds (57th) getting in, and finishing with the best of them -- he's in third place in the points standing after this week. ...

Players who missed the cut or did not play generally dropped about 25 spots; virtually everyone who made the cut moved up, with the exception of some of the top seeds. Phil Mickelson will move down one spot, as will Anthony Kim, Robert Allenby and Carl Pettersson. Stewart Cink will drop three spots, and Kenny Perry, who finished in a tie for 48th, will drop five spots. -- Steve Dennis (6:55 p.m. ET)

PLAYOFF TIME: It's a three-man playoff between Vijay Singh, Sergio Garcia and Kevin Streelman for The Barclays title. They'll start at the 18th hole and alternate with the 17th.

Here are the playoff histories for each player: -- Mike McAllister (6 p.m. ET)

EDITOR'S NOTE: These playoff histories were updated with Sunday's result at The Barclays (7 p.m. ET) ...

HOW ABOUT A FOUR-MAN PLAYOFF? Vijay Singh just birdied the 17th; Kevin Streelman also made birdie. Singh is now at 8 under with one hole left. If he pars and Streelman (7 under) birdies, they'll join Sergio Garcia and Kevin Sutherland in a playoff.

Just six birdies have been recorded at the par-4 18th today. It's the second-hardest hole on the course. But Streelman did birdie the 18th in the second round when he sank a 17-1/2 foot putt. -- Mike McAllister (5:42 p.m. ET)

PLAYOFF? Sergio Garcia failed to make his 17-foot birdie putt on the 18th. So he's finished at 8 under, tied with Kevin Sutherland for the clubhouse lead. Vijay Singh still has the par-5 17th to play, so he could still get to 8 under or even take the lead with two birdies.

Any playoff would start on the 18th hole, then go to the 17th hole, back to 18 and alternate from there.

By the way, Sutherland has only been in one previous playoff in his TOUR career, and that was 11 years ago when he lost to Phil Blackmar at the 1997 Shell Houston Open. Sergio Garcia is 4-3 in playoffs, including this year's PLAYERS Championship when he beat Paul Goydos. -- Mike McAllister (5:30 p.m. ET)

GARCIA REBOUNDS: Sergio Garcia nearly holed his chip shot for eagle at the par-5 17th. His tap-in for birdie ties him with Kevin Sutherland at 8 under. -- Mike McAllister (5:15 p.m. ET)

GARCIA BOGEYS: Did we jinx Sergio Garcia a few minutes ago? Garcia just missed a 12-1/2 foot par putt on the 16th. Kevin Sutherland now has the lead at 8 under. -- Mike McAllister (5:02 p.m. ET)

SUTHERLAND JUMPS UP: Kevin Sutherland has jumped into a tie with Sergio Garcia for the lead at 8 under after a birdie at the par-4 16th. If he can post another birdie at the par-5 17th and then finish at 9 under, it might be enough for his second TOUR victory, especially with Garcia in a bit of trouble at the 16th. Sutherland won the 2002 World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. -- Mike McAllister (4:57 p.m. ET)

GARCIA UPDATE: Sergio Garcia is playing as steady as anybody on the course. He has two birdies against one bogey through 14 holes, and hit just hit the flagstick with his birdie chip shot on the par-4 14th to salvage a poor approach shot.

Garcia, who has the lead to himself at 8 under, has six one-putts thus far, and 33 for the tournament. If he can continue to keep his putter hot ... -- Mike McAllister (4:45 p.m. ET)

GOGGIN'S BOGEY-FREE WEEKEND: Mathew Goggin had planned to go pick up his rental car Sunday afternoon. Finishing one stroke off the lead, though, was sure to keep the Aussie around Ridgewood Country Club a little longer -- just in case this first Playoff event went into a real playoff.

Goggin

Goggin, who did not make a bogey in the last two rounds, finished off his round of 4 under about 30 minutes after the leaders had made the turn. He was 7 under at the time and tied with five others, all of whom were still on the course, along with Sergio Garcia, who held sole possession of the lead.

"I hit the ball really well, probably the best on Thursday and struggled a bit with the putter the first three days to be honest," Goggin said. "Today I made a couple of par putts which I have not been making, a couple 5- to 10-footers. Pretty solid. Hit a lot of greens and hit a lot of fairways. I missed it in the right spot, so I was really happy."

Goggin started the Playoffs seeded 76th and he could move into the top 20, depending on how things play out over the final 90 minutes or so. While he expects more tweaks, he likes the fact that players who play were are significantly rewarded.

"If it it's going to be a Playoffs, I think it's a lot more fun to have the volatility," Goggin said. "But maybe the big swings early on, maybe make it not quite so severe it might be more pleasing to everybody, but I'm pretty happy with it so far." -- Helen Ross (4:42 p.m. ET)

VERPLANK A RYDER POSSIBILITY? Paul Azinger has a strong list of candidates for his Captain's Picks. But should he decide to think outside the box and go for a non-traditional pick?

We have a thought.

Scott Verplank. Yes, he came into the week 31st on the Ryder Cup list, but ... Great putter. Tough-as-nails. Experienced. Two Ryder Cups and a 4-1-0 record. Take away an opening 73 here at Ridgewood and he'd be right there. As it is, he finished in the traffic jam at 5-under (73-70-67-69) and will bound up the FedEx Cup Playoffs list (he started at 100). -- Melanie Hauser (4:40 p.m. ET)

COULD BE ANYBODY'S CUP: I've written a lot about the increased volatility of this year's Playoffs, brought on by the revisions in the points structure. But the revisions are also supposed to enable more players to be in contention for the FedExCup when play begins at THE TOUR Championship.

There's obviously a long way to go before then, but I'm very confident that there will, indeed, be more players in contention for the Cup at the final event of the Playoffs. However, the points system changes may not be the main reason.

Last year, only 3 players outside the top 25 seeds had a top 5 finish in any of the first three events. By contrast this year, as of right now, 6 of the 8 players tied for 2nd or better at the 2008 Barclays are outside the top 25 seeds, including #102 Kevin Streelman, #90 Paul Casey and #76 Mathew Goggin. Because the top seeds aren't piling on to their point totals, the "pack" is closer to the top, meaning if this keeps up in subsequent events, there will be a huge number of players who still have a chance to win the FedExCup when they get to Atlanta. -- Steve Dennis (4:25 p.m. ET)

UNDERDOG WINNERS: If you're a fan of the underdog, then you're probably rooting for rookie Kevin Streelman down the stretch today. But a lot of players are rooting for him, too -- or at least they should be.

If Sergio Gacia or Vijay Singh win today, either would have around 109,000 points, and with a made cut next week, either one would have at least 111,100 points. There are only about a dozen players who will be within reach of 111,100 points next week, so winning the Deutsche Bank Championship would still leave a lot of guys looking up at Garcia or Singh.

On the other hand, if Streelman wins, he'll come away with 104,750 and a made cut at Deutsche Bank would put him at 106,850. There will be approximately 75 players within reach of 106,850 at the Deutsche Bank. -- Steve Dennis (4:15 p.m. ET)

JUSTIN TIME: Justin Leonard's game is peaking at just the right time.

The former British Open champ and hero of the 1999 Ryder Cup has followed up his win at the Stanford St. Jude with several months of solid play and a spot on the Ryder Cup team.

Leonard

Now, he's got his eyes on the FedEx Cup.

Leonard, who came into the week eighth, closed with a 67 to add another top 10 to his season. He did miss a short one coming in, but he also made a 40-footer at 15 and a 20 footer at 16 to finish at 6-under 278.

"If I had played a little better earlier in the week, I would be right in the middle of it,'' said Leonard, who opened with a pair of 70s and a 71.

After taking a few days off to hang out with his family, he'll tee it up at the Deutsche Bank.

"This is a fun time of the year,'' said Leonard. "That's what I think the TOUR had in mind -- grabbing everyone's attention here for a month.'' (To replay Leonard's round, click here.) -- Melanie Hauser (4:10 p.m. ET)

LAIRD BELONGS: Two months ago, Martin Laird had lost all his confidence.

"I had no idea where the ball was going; I had no idea where I was going,'' said the 25-year-old Scot. "I was wondering what I was doing out here. You get a little confidence and I've gone from showing up at tournaments and not thinking I could compete to turning up every week now and thinking if I play well I could win.

Laird

"I think I belong now, whereas two months ago, I didn't.''

And it shows. Laird played his way into the Playoffs last week at Greensboro -- he grabbed the 128th spot -- and rounds of 70-69-72-67 here have him flying up the leader board and the FedEx Cup list.

But he's taking it slowly. In fact, he didn't make his hotel reservation for next week's Deutsche Bank Championship until Sunday morning.

"I'm just trying to treat them all as normal tournaments because as of a month ago, I wasn't close to getting in,'' said Laird, who birdied four of the last eight holes Sunday on the way to his 67. "So it's all bonus for me now. I'm playing good and trying to focus on that.''

Laird's season turned around at the John Deere when swing coach Steve Dahlby of the Golf Club of Scottsdale flew in and the straightened things out. 'We found out what had been causing all of my problems,'' he said.

And it never paid off more than last week in the final round of the Wyndham Championship where he was 5-under-par through the first five holes. And it was close.

He hit his tee shot at the fifth hole way right and it stopped just a few yards of going out of bounds. From there, he hit a 4-iron to 10 feet and made the putt for eagle.

"Standing on the tee, I was thinking I might make a 6 or 7 and I walk off with 3,'' he said. "Who knows if it had gone out of bounds, if I'd even be here this week.''

Despite his run, he's not fixated on the standings.

"I took a quick look last week,'' he said. "I'm not someone who does all that. I just try to play my game.''

It's working. (To replay Laird's round, click here.) -- Melanie Hauser (4:05 p.m. ET)

BACK-NINE SETUP: The last group of the day has finished its front nine, so as we enter the back nine at The Barclays, here's how it looks ...

Sergio Garcia has the lead at 8 under, but there are a load of contenders on his tail. Ben Curtis, Mike Weir, Paul Casey, Kevin Streelman and Vijay Singh are at 7 under, and Mathew Goggin just finished his round; he's the clbuhouse leader at 7 under.

There are five more players at 6 under (three already done for the day) and five more at 5 under (one is done). The result? Shootout, here we come (and possibly a playoff too?). -- Mike McAllister (3:55 p.m. ET)

PHIL LOOKS TO BOSTON: Phil Mickelson felt like a round of 64 was out there Sunday at Ridgewood.

"I don't know if 8 under would've been good enough to win," he said. "But I thought that would give me an outside chance at least."

Mickelson

And when he holed a wedge from 106 yards for eagle at the par-5 third hole to move to 3 under for the day, there were those in his adoring gallery who thought it was possible. But the No. 2 player in the world couldn't maintain that momentum and finished with a 68.

"The golf course is playing a little bit tougher today even though the conditions were perfect," Mickelson said. "We had great weather. It's just a hard course. I was pleased with shooting 3 under but I would have liked to obviously have shot lower and moved up and gotten higher in this first FedExCup event."

Mickelson has an outing for one of his sponsors, Barclays, in the New York area on Monday. He'll then spend Tuesday with former President George H. Bush at the family compound in Maine in what has become something of an annual affair over the last few years.

Wednesday then starts the preparation for his title defense at the Deutsche Bank Championship. The second Playoffs event begins on Friday at TPC Boston and ends on Labor Day.

"I love the golf course," said Mickelson, who shot a final-round 66 to beat Tiger Woods, Arron Oberholser and Brett Wetterich by a shot last year. "I obviously played well there. I loved putting the greens. I putted great last year. I look forward to getting back and trying to defend." -- Helen Ross (3:45 p.m. ET)

BIG BARCLAYS MOVERS: Last year, the biggest move at The Barclays was Rich Beem's, who jumped 21 spots from 134th to 113th with his T7 finish. There are still three hours to play, but if Mike Weir wins, he'll jump 41 spots. Kevin Sutherland is projected to move up 39 spots from 57th to 18th, Paul Casey would move up 61 spots from 90th to 29th, Scott Verplank and Kevin Streelman would both jump more than 60 spots, and 31 others would move up at least 25 positions.

STREELMAN SETTLES DOWN: After a tough start in which he bogeyed the first hole, rookie Kevin Streelman -- who entered the final round with a one-stroke lead -- has settled down. He birdied the par-4 sixth when he holed out from the fringe and is now tied with Mike Weir for the lead at 8 under. Ben Curtis, Sergio Garcia and Paul Casey are one shot back.

Of the 12 players who began the day at 4 under, Curtis has made the biggest move with three birdies and no bogeys. -- Mike McAllister (3:25 p.m. ET)

DRIVABLE PAR-4 RESULTS: All players are now through the 291-yard par-4 fifth. Although the hole is certainly within range of most players to drive it, windy conditions and a tiny green convinced most players to lay up.

Just two eagles were recorded at the hole this week. In the first round, Robert Allenby holed out from the greenside bunker. In Sunday's final round, Jesper Parnevik's drive landed just 3 feet, 7 inches from the hole.

The players who advance to next week's Deutsche Bank Championship will see another drivable par-4 hole at TPC Boston, the 298-yard fourth.

Here's how the fifth hole played this week: -- Mike McAllister (3:15 p.m. ET)

FEDEXCUP UPDATE: There are 16 players within three shots of the lead, and all are still on the course. Five of the 16 are seeded 90th or worse in FedExCup points, and of course would move up dramatically should one of them win. -- Steve Dennis (2:53 p.m. ET)

LONGEST PUTT: It's doubtful any player still on the course will exceed the length of the putt Michael Allen made earlier today on the sixth hole.

Allen, who was in the fourth group to tee off Sunday, rolled in a putt of 70 feet, 8 inches on the par-4 sixth. Amazingly, that only allowed him to save par, as Allen found the bunker with his approach shot.

Allen's putt is the longest recorded this week at Ridgewood. The next longest is Charley Hoffman's 59-foot, 9-inch putt that he dropped in today on the eighth hole. -- Mike McAllister (2:30 p.m. ET)

TOUGH START: Third-round leader Kevin Streelman three-putted the opening hole from 54 feet to drop a shot ... and drop out of the lead. Sergio Garcia, who birdied the par-5 third, now has the lead by himself at 8 under. -- Mike McAllister (2:10 p.m. ET)

WATCH OUT FOR ... Kevin Sutherland, who has just birdied his first two holes to move to 7 under, just one stroke off the lead. Anthony Kim is 2 under for his round and 6 under for the tournament as he approaches the turn.

Also watch out for Scott Verplank, who reeled off three consecutive birdies early in his round and is now at 6 under on the back nine. -- Mike McAllister (2:05 p.m. ET)

RAISED VOLATILITY: There is no question there is a lot more volatility in the Playoffs this year, based on the combination of tightened reset values and increased points for each finishing position receiving points.

Scanning the projected standings, players who missed the cut are projected to drop between 20 to 25 spots. (Tiger Woods will drop less because of the larger points gaps between the higher seeds). Geoff Ogilvy, Boo Weekley, Sean O'Hair, D.J. Trahan, Adam Scott, Jeff Quinney, Ernie Els and Stephen Ames are all likely to drop out of the top 30, and Padraig Harrington and Ryuji Imada will drop to the bottom of the top 30.

Still, they haven't lost all of the advantage they built up over the course of the Regular Season. Take Boo Weekley, for example.

Weekley missed The Barclays cut and is currently projected to drop to 38th place, just under 7,000 points out of 1st, with 97,825 points. Another missed cut would put him in serious jeopardy of missing THE TOUR Championship. However, a made cut next week would give him at least 99,925 points, and probably put him back into the top 30 following the Deutsche Bank Championship. From there, a solid start at the BMW Championship would secure his place in THE TOUR Championship.

For players starting outside the top 30, a missed cut and a poor finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship could mean not earning a trip to the BMW Championship, much less THE TOUR Championship.

In net, increased volatility this year means two missed cuts will make it extremely difficult to get to THE TOUR Championship, regardless of how good the player's seed was at the beginning of the Playoffs. But it also means that a big drop in one week due to a missed cut can be redeemed the following week, if the player has a good tournament.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, of course, but my point of view is that missing the cut twice in the Playoffs is ample reason to be eliminated from them, regardless of how good a Regular Season the player had. -- Steve Dennis (2 p.m. ET)

HOLMES GOES LOW: Of those players teeing off early, J.B. Holmes posted the lowest round, shooting a bogey-free 5-under 66 to finish at 3 under for the tournament.

The long-hitting Holmes, who played the final nine in 4-under 32, had drives of 333 yards on the 16th; 329 yards on the 13th; 327 yards on the ninth; 320 yards on the 18th and 319 yards on the first. He only hit the fairway on two of those four drives, though.

The key to his 66 on Sunday was in hitting Greens in Regulation; he hit all 18 greens in his round. He's the only player to hit every green in regulation in any round this week. -- Mike McAllister (1:45 p.m. ET).

FINAL-ROUND AVERAGES: Based on their scoring averages in the final round, which of the players in the final five groups teeing off Sunday has the advantage? Well, the numbers say Kevin Sutherland, who ranks 43rd overall on the PGA TOUR with a 70.75 average in the final round.

Here's how those 10 players, all of whom started the day 5 under or better, have played in the final round this season: -- Mike McAllister (1:36 p.m. ET)

PHIL UPDATE: After a rollercoaster first seven holes that included an eagle, three birdies and two bogeys, Phil Mickelson seemed to settle down as he reached the turn. In fact, he reeled off four straight pars between holes 8-11. But now he's back to his old tricks -- a birdie on the par-4 12th, followed by a bogey on the par-4 13th when he three-putted, missing a 4-1/2 foot par putt.

Mickelson is now 4 under for the tournament, 3 under for the day. -- Mike McAllister (1:15 p.m. ET)

A FOURTH FOR SINGH? No player has won The Barclays more times than Vijay Singh, who won three times when the event was held at Westchester Country Club.

Now with a new venue this week at Ridgewood, Singh will be looking for his fourth win when he tees off at 1:55 p.m. ET today in the final group with leader Kevin Streelman.

Of Singh's three previous wins, two have come when he started the final round just off the lead. In fact, 12 of Singh's 32 career PGA TOUR victories have come when he was trailing heading into the final round, most recently at the 2007 Arnold Palmer Invitational, when he was three shots back after 54 holes. -- Mike McAllister (12:25 p.m. ET)

54-HOLE LEADERS: Will Kevin Streelman join the list of previous Barclays champions who closed the deal after grabbing the 54-hole lead? The winning percentage is awfully high -- 24 of the 41 previous winners of The Barclays have won after leading or co-leading after the third round. Here's the list: -- Mike McAllister (12:02 p.m. ET)

PHIL'S START: It's been a wild start for Phil Mickelson on Sunday. He opened by rolling in a six-foot birdie putt on the par-4 first. After a par at the second, he eagled the par-5 third by holing out from 106 yards from the fairway.

But he then gave back a stroke at the par-4 fourth after finding the primary rough on the fairway. He bounced back with a birdie at the short par-4 fifth when he knocked his tee shot into a greenside bunker, then got up and down. He then proceeded to give a stroke away at the par-4 sixth when he found the rough again off the tee.

As a result, he's played six holes thus far and recorded only one par.

CASEY LIKES PLAYOFFS: Paul Casey is playing in his first FedExCup and still learning, as is everyone, the ins and outs of the new points system.

Casey

He likes the Playoffs, though, and the Englishman sees that it's had an impact over on the European Tour with the creation of the Race to Dubai. That season-long competition begins in November and will culminate at the $10 million Dubai World Championship in 2009.

A total of 60 players will make the field for the European Tour's future season-ender. The bonus pool for the Race to Dubai is $10 million and will be divided among the top 15 point-getters with $2 million going to the winner.

"I think the idea of a postseason sort of climax is a great idea," Casey said. "Ultimately, for golfers, any golfers, it's about the majors. For me it will never overtake that, nor should it. But if we can create some excitement late in the season, then I think that's a good thing.

"I think we've got to wait two or three years to see how it pans out. I'm excited about the race in Dubai. They haven't told me where the race is starting from yet and what the allowance is for vehicles." -- Helen Ross (11:30 a.m. ET)

144 VS. 100: Do people really want smaller fields to start the playoffs? If it were limited to the top 100, then ...

No Kevin Streelman story, who started 102 and is leading the tournament.

No Jason Day, currently tied for 6th, who started 127.

No 2007 US Open winner Angel Cabrera, who started 131 and is currently T6.

No Jeff Overton, who barely hung on to get into the Playoffs at 143rd, and is currently T11, four strokes off the lead. -- Steve Dennis (11:15 a.m. ET)

WILL BEEM ADVANCE TO BMW?: Last year, Rich Beem was determined to make it into the field at the BMW Championship, but fell just short due to the difficulty of moving up in the FedExCup standings. This year, he's giving himself a good shot at it. He is 1 under after five holes today and is tied for 40th in the tournament, and projected in 88th place on the points list.

If Beem stays there for the rest of the day and makes the cut at the Deutsche Bank Championship, he'll be very close to the "elimination line" of 70th. To be assured of a spot at the BMW, he must not only make the cut next week, he also needs at least one top 20 finish. -- Steve Dennis (10:50 a.m. ET)

STREELMAN AND THE FEDEXCUP: Kevin Streelman has a chance to take over the FedExCup lead with a victory, coming from 102nd seed. Keep in mind, though, that winning one event in the Playoffs isn't good enough --that's the point of the four-event Playoffs structure.

Streelman

For Streelman to win the FedExCup, he will not only need to win this week, he'll need to follow up his best week ever with his second-best week ever, and then with his third-best week ever -- against better fields than he's ever been in before.

A PGA TOUR rookie, Streelman's best finish to date is a T6 last week at the Wyndham Championship. He'll need a win and two other top 5 finishes, in all probability, to hold off the competition. So it will be a great story if Streelman can win The Barclays. It will be a story of epic proportions if Streelman can win the FedExCup. -- Steve Dennis (10:30 a.m. ET)
