Tiger Woods finished strongly at the Barclays Tournament Sunday, a four-under 67 clinching a spot in the second FedExCup series event next week. The world NO. 1, yet to win this season, had to be in the top 50 to remain in the lucrative playoffs and qualified with ease as he closed with a seven-under 277 total. “I'm very pleased,” said Woods who felt his ball-striking was good all week. “If I had just putted well for all four days, I'm right there. I drove it pretty much on a string all week and really controlled my irons,” he told reporters. Briton Martin Laird fired a six-under 65 to surge into a three-shot lead after Saturday's third round. Overnight leader Jason Day (70) of Australia was in joint second place with long-hitting American Dustin Johnson (64), one stroke better than Australian Adam Scott (68) on 205.
