PARAMUS, New Jersey,  (Reuters) – Tiger Woods finished  strongly at the Barclays tournament Sunday a four-under 67  clinching a spot in the second FedExCup series event next week.

The world number one, yet to win this season, had to be in  the top 50 to remain in the lucrative playoffs and qualified  with ease as he closed with a seven-under 277 total.

“I’m very pleased,” said Woods who felt his ball-striking  was good all week.

“If I had just putted well for all four days, I’m right  there. I drove it pretty much on a string all week and really  controlled my irons,” he told reporters.

“Unfortunately I didn’t putt well in the middle two rounds.”

Competing after his divorce from wife Elin became final last week Monday, Woods tried to focus on swing adjustments.

He was satisfied for the most part and said he hoped to put  it all together as he progressed through the FedExCup, which he  won last year to pocket the $10 million bonus as overall points  leader.

After starting out in 112th place, with 100 players  qualifying for next week’s Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston,  the American’s display at Ridgewood Country Club put him back on  track for the series.

“I’m looking forward to it. The next three events, the next  three venues I’ve won on,” he said looking ahead to the TPC  Boston, Cog Hill outside Chicago for the BMW Championship and  East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta for the Tour Championship.
