Nick Watney moved to the number one position in the FedEx Cup standings and improved his chances of being selected to the 2012 Ryder Cup team while Johnson moved into 8th place in the FedEx Cup standings going into the Deutsche Bank Championship.

“Nick Watney played very well in his come from behind victory last weekend”, said Butch Harmon. “Watney showed a great deal of tenacity and drive needed to overcome the deficit he faced at beginning of the final round. Dustin Johnson also played very well throughout the event and shot a very competitive score in the final round to help him move up in the FedEx Cup standings. Congratulations to Nick and Dustin for excellent performances.”
