THE BARCLAYS -
First round of the FedEX playoffs!



HUNTER MAHAN 13/2 TO FINISH TOP 5 - Mr. Consistency is still looking for his second tour victory which may happen sooner than later! He's ranked 12th in total driving, 13th in GIR, 4th in scoring average, and has 6 Top10s this season, 4 of them have come in his last 6 starts. His recent form is great, but his best finish at The Barclays is a T17th in 2007!


LUCAS GLOVER 5/1 TO FINISH TOP 10 - The U.S. Open winner is looking for icing on the cake.....making the Ryder Cup team! Glover is 20th in ball striking, 5th in scoring average, has 5 Top10s on the year and has finished in the Top15 in 6 of his last 8 tour starts. Not a great record at The Barclays as his best finish was a T22nd in 2005, and he's been cut twice. Love his recent form and the fact that Freddie is watching!


SERGIO GARCIA 15/2 TO FINISH TOP 5 - He jumped 26 spots in the FedEx standing last week, and nearly won the Wyndham with a great bunker shot on 18! He finished 4th at Greensboro and has Top25s in 2 of his last 3 starts. Despite bad form most of the year he still ranks in the Top 25 in scoring average and is T6th in proximity to the hole from the rough. He's also ranked 2nd on tour in rounds in the 60s with 20! His course form isn't bad either with 6 Top10s in 9 starts at The Barclays, he won it in 2001 and 2004, T2nd in 2008, T4th in 2003, T12th in 2002, and was 3rd in 2000.


JOHN SENDEN 12/1 TO FINISH TOP 10 - Leads the PGA Tour in GIR and is in top 20 in both par 4 and par 5 average! He's got 5 Top10s this season with his best finish at the Buick Open 3 weeks ago. He's 1 for 7 in Top10s at The Barclays, was T31st in 2007, T18th in 2006, and his best finish came in 2005 when the T7th.
