Entering the final round of The Barclays on Sunday, the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs was up for grabs among the top contenders.



And then, in a blink of the eye and some rolls of the ball, it wasn't.

Jason Day's final-round 62 and runaway six-stroke victory over second-place finisher Henrik Stenson was anticlimactic, but to say it was lacking in excitement would be witless. 

Coming off his first major victory at the PGA Championship two weeks ago, Day never appeared content to coast on his recent achievement.

The 27-year-old Australian's play was splendid enough to capture not just The Barclays title and FedEx Cup lead but also the undivided attention of anyone with even the slightest, most passing of interests in the game of golf. 



Day's victory has put him in prime position for his first FedEx Cup title; every past champion, dating back to the event's inaugural year in 2007, has won at least one event.



The PGA dramatically tweaked the points system entering the 2009 season, but the structuring still rewards victors far more than their peers.

Here's a look at some of the top-ranked players following The Barclays and what to expect at the second leg of the FedEx Cup: the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston (Sept. 4-7).

 

Jason Day

With the long, imposing shadow of Jordan Spieth no longer looming over Plainfield Country Club in Edison, New Jersey, Jason Day cast his own entirely over The Barclays field.

Immaculate shots, imaginative putts and some pure course swag filled Day's 63-62 weekend rounds—refreshing to see in a game as typically stiff as golf. 

These shots look like the highlights of an entire season, but no, this is merely a collection of shots from Day's final-round five-under back-nine.
