The 2014 Barclays led to a huge shake-up at the top of the FedEx Cup standings. Hunter Mahan, who has five top-10 finishes this year, won his first tournament of the season and emerged as the top player in the FedEx Cup.

PGA Tour provides a look at the result and movement for Mahan:

So there's no reason why I can't go there next week and challenge for the title there.

With clear confidence after his strong play late in the season, McIlroy remains a solid contender for the FedEx Cup. But as Mahan and others make a push, he will need to round back into form to retake the lead.
