An onslaught of players in their 20s have won on the PGA TOUR in 2010 as the opening tournament to the PGA TOUR Playoffs -- The Barclays -- is set to tee off in a little more than a month at The Ridgewood Country Club for The Barclays, August 26-29. Justin Rose captured his second victory of the 2010 season with a win at the AT&T National. Rose, 29, recorded the 11th win by a player in his 20s on the PGA TOUR this year, compared to seven in all of 2009. Rose is ranked No. 3 in the FedExCup standings.

Also playing well, but yet to record a victory is 21-year-old rookie Rickie Fowler who has recorded five top-10 finishes and two runner-ups. With his strong play, Fowler ranks 15th in the FedExCup standings. Bill Haas joined his father (Jay) as a winner of the Bob Hope Classic, the eighth father-son combo to win a PGA TOUR event. Dustin Johnson won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for the second consecutive year. With the win, Johnson became the first player since Tiger Woods to win in his first three seasons on TOUR.
Hunter Mahan shot 65-65 for the weekend to win the Waste Management Phoenix Open and 
was the only player in the field to go bogey-free over the final 36 holes. Camilo Villegas recorded his third career PGA TOUR victory at The Honda Classic. Derek Lamely won the Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular. Anthony Kim (Shell Houston Open), Rory McIlroy (Quail Hollow Championship), Adam Scott (Valero Texas Open) and Jason Day (HP Byron Nelson Championship) round out the remaining victors in their 20s.
The Barclays returns to Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, N.J., after a one-year visit to Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, N.J., in 2009. Steve Stricker won The Barclays in 2007 during the first year of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. Vijay Singh claimed The Barclays in 2008, outlasting Sergio Garcia in a playoff, while Heath Slocum edged four of the game's biggest names -- Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Steve Stricker and Padraig Harrington -- to capture The Barclays by one stroke last year at Liberty National.
