NEW YORK: Irishman Padraig Harrington seized the first-round lead with a seven-under 64 at The Barclays, the first tournament of the PGA Tour playoffs.

Harrington has a one-stroke lead over Nick Watney and Brian Harman, who both fired six-under 65s on the Bethpage course. Harrington is hoping a strong showing at the event will convince European Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal to make him one of his two captain’s picks.

Spain’s Sergio Garcia shot a 66 and shares fourth place with Pat Perez, England’s Gary Christian and Jimmy Walker. Garcia won last week at the Wyndham Championship. American Tiger Woods is part of a group tied for 14th after carding a three-under 68. Defending champion Dustin Johnson is one stroke ahead of FedEx Cup points leader Woods in eighth.
