PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) -- Martin Laird's goal of reaching the second round of the FedEx Cup playoffs suddenly have changed. He now has a great chance of winning The Barclays. 

Laird, who started these playoffs at No. 95, ran off four birdies early in his round and kept bogeys off his card Saturday for a 6-under 65 to build a three-shot lead over Dustin Johnson and Jason Day. 

Tiger Woods will have something at stake Sunday, but it most likely won't be a trophy. He took a triple bogey after hitting his opening drive off the property and now has to play solid in the final round to finish among the top 100 in the standings and
advance. 

Johnson had a bogey-free 64.
