Barclay's: Matt Kuchar Beats Martin Laird in Thrilling Playoff Shot

Martin Laird is from Glasgow, Scotland and has been a pro for six years with over $3,000,000 in earning. He shares the lead at 16 with Matt Kuchar, statistically the best player on the PGA Tour this year.

Laird was leading the tournament after round three and has played very well this season with almost $1,000,000 in earnings. This will certainly improve on that today.

Matt Kuchar is the only player that can beat Laird at this point, so as the last few holes unfold, we will see what happens. Kuchar sure has been there before as well.

All the other players atop the leader board never mounted much of a challenge today, and Laird looks steadiest of all.

This will be another win for that 27-year-old or younger club this season.

Laird came to Colorado State University on a golf scolarship and has never looked back.

Laird has a 30 footer for eagle to close this thing down. He won the Justin Timberlake event last season, and now wham, a PGA playoff win.

Next on this PGA playoff schedule is the Deutsche Bank Classic, where the field will be narrowed again as the players reach for their A games going into the Players Championship.

Tiger Woods finished around minus seven, so he will advance to the next round as well.

Laird made birdie and has that one shot lead going into the last hole.

Laird, however, bogeyed 18 and is tied for the lead with Matt Kuchar again.

I hope I don't have to re-title this article.

Both players go back to 18 now in a sudden death playoff.

Matt Kuchar hit his second shot just perfectly to two feet and will win this tournament and grab the first seed in the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
