FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Patrick Reed picked up two victories in one day. He won The Barclays to assure himself a clear shot at the $10 million bonus in the FedEx Cup, and he easily secured a spot on his second consecutive U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Rickie Fowler walked away empty from Bethpage Black after a late meltdown.
Reed overcame an early two-shot deficit and built a big enough lead on the back nine that some nervous shots and sloppy play didn't keep him from winning for the first time since the 2015 opener at Kapalua. A bogey on the final hole gave him a 1-under 70 and a one-shot victory over Sean O'Hair and Emiliano Grillo.
"It's just been great to finally be able to close one off," Reed said.
Fowler still hasn't won in four tries as a 54-hole leader on the PGA Tour, and this one might sting. He was still in contention, two shots behind with four holes to play, and at least figured to have one of the eight automatic spots on the Ryder Cup team locked up. Fowler needed to finish third to move past Zach Johnson into the eighth spot in the U.S. standings, and he was two shots clear of O'Hair and Grillo.
His tee shot into deep rough left of the 15th fairway led to bogey. From more rough on the 16th, he went into a bunker and took two shots to reach the green, making a double bogey. After a 20-foot birdie putt kept alive his hopes, he promptly found more rough on the 18th hole and finished with a bogey for a 74.
Fowler tied for seventh and moved up one spot to No. 11 in the standings.
"I wasn't trying to get a decent finish," Fowler said. "I was trying to win."
Fowler still has a reasonable chance to be at Hazeltine on Sept. 30 for the Ryder Cup because Davis Love III doesn't make his three captain's picks until after the next two FedEx Cup playoff events. The fourth pick will be after the Tour Championship, so that's another month to audition.
Defending champion Jason Day struggled all week with his accuracy and had to settle for a 69, tying for fourth with Gary Woodland (69) and Adam Scott (71).

Glen Day finished tied for 14th at 7 under and won $35,000. John Daly (Dardanelle, Arkansas Razorbacks) shot a 3-under 69 to put him in a tie for 21st at 5 under, good enough for $23,900. Mike Grob (Razorbacks) was a shot behind that at 4 under and won $17,940.
