Laird blows five-shot lead as Kuchar wins The Barclays

Scotland's Martin Laird tonight squandered a five-shot lead to miss out on a second US Tour victory in The Barclays in New Jersey, the opening event of the lucrative FedEx Cup play-off series.

Laird began the final round with a three-shot lead and soon extended that to five with birdies at the opening two holes at Ridgewood Country Club, only to then run up a double bogey seven on the third and bogey the fourth.
