Rory McIlroy continues his slide down the world rankings after Adam Scottleapfrogged the 24-year-old following his success in The Barclays which sees the Northern Irishman slip to number four.
McIlroy was world number one this time last year but he has suffered a dramatic dip in form since returning in January, a loss of form he doesn't blame on his new Nike equipment.
Masters champion Adam Scott is up to a career-high second.
Scott carded a final round of 66 at Liberty National to finish one shot ahead of a group of four players, including world number one Tiger Woods and US Open champion Justin Rose.
On the European Tour, Tommy Fleetwood's play-off win over Stephen Gallacher and Ricardo Gonzalez in the Johnnie Walker Championship lifted the 22-year-old Englishman from 277th to 162nd in the standings.
