EDISON, N.J. — Nick Watney entered the week as the FedExCup points leader, but he won’t maintain that spot after Saturday.
Still, Watney won’t fall too far down the points list, thanks to a final-round bogey-free 7-under 64 that had him inside the top 10 on The Barclays leaderboard when he finished his round.
"It was nice to play a good round," said Watney, who was projected to fall to third in points. "Overall, I’m pleased with the day."
Watney had opened with rounds of 67 and 69 but said he found something on the range Friday and felt like he struck the ball better on Saturday. He hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation on Saturday.
That left him feeling good about his game going into next week’s Deutsche Bank Championship.
"It was a pretty easy round (Saturday)," Watney said. "Hopefully that will carry over."
