Clear skies greeted Kodak Challengers on hole #14 for the first time in three days during Sunday's final round of The Barclays. J.J. Henry, currently one-stroke behind leader, Kevin Streelman, responded with a birdie on the short par 3 for the third time in four days. Henry thrilled fans with a 33' putt for a deuce on Liberty National's signature hole. Streelman, the Kodak Challenge leader at 13-under-par, played #14 at par today after carding birdies in two of the first three rounds.
Kevin Sutherland sunk a 4-footer for birdie to move to 10-under-par and three shots off the lead. Padraig Harrington and Tiger Woods, who both finished one shot off the Barclays lead, each scored birdies on the Kodak Challenge hole for the second consecutive day.
The Barclays at Liberty National Golf Club was the 25th of 30 Kodak Challenge holes. Contenders for the $1 million Kodak Challenge prize have five more holes to play, beginning with hole #11 at the Turning Stone Resort Championship on October 1.

About Kodak Challenge Hole #14 at Liberty National
Offering breathtaking views of Manhattan skyline, # 14 is one of the prettiest holes on Liberty National. This par three 149 yard hole juts out on the peninsula to provide a spectacular view of the Statue of Liberty. The tee shot must carry over fescue to a very narrow green that is bunkered to the left and right. Club selection is key, as any shot long or left could result in a lost ball.
