JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Webb Simpson had six birdies over his last nine holes for a 5-under 66 that made him the clubhouse leader at The Barclays.

Keegan Bradley had a bogey-free 68, while Rickie Fowler had a 64. Adam Scott was tied for the lead at one point until a bogey on the last hole gave him a 66. They were in the group two shots out of the lead.
Phil Mickelson had a 69 and was seven shots behind.
