Nick Watney became about $1.5 million richer on Sunday when he came from behind to defeat Sergio Garcia and the rest of the field at the 2012 Barclays. Watney's Sunday performance, along with Garcia's disappointing one, turned out to be a $576,000 difference.

Watney walked away with $1.44 million, while runner-up Brandt Snedeker earned $864K. Garcia, tied with Dustin Johnson in third place, earned $464K. Bubba Watson was one of nine players who tied for 10th place to earn $160,889. Tiger Woods had two horrible rounds on Saturday and Sunday, which resulted in him plummeting on the leaderboard. He still goes home with $32,000 for his troubles.

There was an $8 million to work with and the least amount of money awarded to any golfer was $15,200.

The Barclays Leaderboard: Kevin Stadler Makes A Huge Jump

Saturday's third round of The Barclays from Bethpage Black is underway, and of the golfers who have already teed off, none has made a bigger climb up the leaderboard than Kevin Stadler who has jumped 37 spots.

Stadler opened the tournament by shooting a 72 and finished Thursday at 1-over par. He picked things up on Friday by shooting a 69 which placed him at 2-under par heading into round three.

Stadler has already completed the front nine in the third round and is currently at 5-under par on the day and 6-under for the tournament, which places him in a tie for fifth place with Australia's John Senden and American Pat Perez, who are in the same grouping and will tee off later in the day.

Sadler is now just two strokes behind leaders Nick Watney and Sergio Garcia and one stroke behind Vijay Singh and Bob Estes. With nine holes still to play, Stadler is in a great position going into Sunday's final round as long as he can keep up his hot play.

Tiger Woods Injures Knee And Back At The 2012 Barclays

Tiger Woods has apparently injured his knee and back during the second round of The 2012 Barclays held at Bethpage Black in Old Bethpage, NY.

Woods hit an awkward tee shot and immediately grabbed his left knee and grimaced. His left knee is the same knee that he famously injured during the 2008 U.S. Open. Woods had to have surgery on his knee after the tournament once doctors found out that he tore his ACL, and has been unable to win a major in the four years since his victory. Woods has continued to have problems since his original injury including a ruptured Achilles tendon while rehabbing his torn ACL.

Woods has decided to continue with his round and currently sits at 4-under par after 10 holes. Tiger sits just four strokes behind first round leader Nick Watney, who sits at 8-under par.

2012 Barclays: Chris Kirk Stays At 3-Under, Bubba Watson Stays At 1-Under

The second round of the 2012 Barclays at Bethpage State Park is underway. While most of the big names including Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and current leader Padraig Harrington are yet to tee off, there has been movement on the leaderboard.

Georgia resident Chris Kirk had a rough start to his round. Starting on hole No. 10, Kirk bogeyed his first three holes and also bogeyed No. 15. His fortunes turned when he hit a hole-in-one on a par-3 No. 17. Kirk added two more birdies on the front nine to finish the round even for the day.

Fellow Georgia Bulldog Bubba Watson has been inconsistent in his second round with three birdies and three bogeys. It has kept his tournament score at one-under and should keep him above the cut line.

The biggest mover so far in the first round is Vijay Singh, who has shot a three-under through 16 to pull within one shot of the lead. McIlroy and Woods tee off at 1:06 p.m. and Harrington tees off at 12:22 p.m.
