Hurricane Irene may have shortened the 2011 Barclays, but the storm didn’t dampen Dustin Johnson’s play. The young American scored the first victory of the 2011 FedEx Cup, firing a final round 65 to take the Barclays by two shots over Matt Kuchar.
2011 Barclays: Dustin Johnson Wins Hurricane Irene-Shortened First Leg Of FedEx Cup
Johnson finished at 19-under for the weather-shortened 54-hole tournament, and was followed by Kuchar, Brandt Snedeker (who shot a 10-under 61 on Saturday), Vijay Singh, and Jonathan Byrd in the top five.
With the victory, Johnson takes a large lead over Kuchar and the rest of the FedEx Cup field. His victory should give Johnson 2,500 points to go with the 1,191 he earned in the PGA Tour’s regular season, and a lead of nearly 800 points over Kuchar.
The 54-hole event was the first in the history of the FedEx Cup.
