Luke Donald has overtaken Bubba Watson for the lead in the FedExCup.
Watson, who led Donald by 28 points, tied for 42nd after shooting 72 on Sunday. Matt Kuchar also made a huge move — he tied for second and moved from 14th to fourth in the standings.
Bubba Watson had held the FedExCup lead since late April, when he won the Zurich Classic. Donald becomes the fifth different player to lead the standings this year.
Donald, who tied for seventh, also extended his string of top-10 on TOUR to nine. The streak began when he won the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in February and ended a five-year victory drought.
Donald also has two top-10s on the European Tour during that stretch, including a win last Sunday at the BMW PGA Championship. He beat Lee Westwood in a playoff that day and leap-frogged him into the world No. 1 spot, as well.
But Donald’s par-or-better stretch ended at 23 on Saturday when he shot a 73.
