Jason Day is closing in on the world number one spot after powering to victory at The Barclays on Monday morning.
The Australian carded a six-stroke win to seize the lead in the US PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoff chase.
Day's scores of 68, 68, 63, and 62 took him to a tournament low of 19-under, well ahead of second-placed Henrik Stenson of Sweden, who carded 66 for 267.
Flawless putting was the key to the 27-year-old's success, with a combined 41 metres of sinking, including a 10-metre putt on the 15th hole.
Day is on course to become the first Aussie to win the Fedex Cup playoff series ahead of the final three rounds.
