The Barclays will be played at Plainfield Country Club in Edison, N.J. The course, which also hosted the Barclays in 2011, will play as a par-70 measuring 7,012 yards for the 2015 event.

The top-125 players on the FedExCup points list qualified for the first leg of the FedExCup Playoffs, with 2,000 points on the line for the winner. After this week’s playoff event, the top 100 on the FedExCup points list will continue onto the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston.

Quietly has put together a banner year. All the Englishman, who tied for third on a Donald Ross gem last week, needs is a win.

I’ve been out of starts for Spieth for weeks, but I’m where I want to be. With supercharged points, I’m throwing the kitchen sink at Helen.

Two wins in his last three starts, also posted a top-15 finish at Plainfield during the 2011 edition of The Barclays.

Has finished no worse than sixth in his past four starts, and was sixth the last time The Barclays visited Plainfield.

He's got seven top 10s this season and is coming off a third-place finish. Casey is a fantastic ball-striker and is in form, both of which should mesh well at a classic venue.

Hard to believe he's won only once this year. Of his last 18 rounds, 16 have been in the 60s

Nothing but consistency this summer from one of the TOUR's most solid all-around players. Let's see more of the same this week.

Flying off the radar a bit, but solid 26th in FedExCup. Knows how to win this time of year. Finished 2nd at Plainfield in 2011.

Has been close so many times, can hit it a mile. I think the rookie breaks through this week.

Is Rory not playing due to his ankle injury or was this a planned week off knowing he had enough points?

Not sure, he just announced he wouldn't be playing last week. The ankle seemed fine at the PGA.

BTW, If Spieth doesn't finish 14th or better R ory returns to #1.

The comments on that article... yikes.

Would be fun to see Rory and Jordan flip the no. 1 spot week after week.

Thanks. It says it's not compatible with my android though. The PGA is terrible.

Dustin Johnson shot 19-under for 54 holes the last time this tournament was held at Plainfield. Based on what I've watched so far today, I doubt anyone will come within ten strokes to par of DJ's winning score in a full four rounds.

Problem for Spieth is motivation. After the run in the majors, this tournament doesn't have a lot of bearing. Still gonna be in prime position no matter what he does the next couple events.

If that's his attitude, he's going to have trouble going forward. Grinding it out even when you don't want to or have it is a hallmark of the best.

Hmm, wonder why Rory is not grinding it out?


I don't know?

It still tells me that it isn't allowed in my country...I'm in the U.S....I don't know. Thank you very much though.

Yeah something tells me this has nothing to do with it. I think the golf course just ate him up today. It happens. I don' think for a second it has anything to do with motivation. It's just golf.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
