Sergio wins the Wyndham and all weekend results

Hi all, sorry to be away from the site for the last 4 days, had to move in with dear old Dad who is 92 now and lives with my sister who is away on holidays.

Dad has no internet, in fact doesn't know what the Internet or a computer is... hey he's onto something.

The Monday finale on the PGA Tour stop at the Wyndham down in Greensboro NC is underway here is the link to live scoring..  http://www.pgatour.com/r/leaderboard/

Sergio has a 2 shot lead over Tim Clarke and Bud Cauley with 3 to play and is only 2 feet away on 16, the par 3. He made it to go up by 3..... now 4 with a birdie on 17..

Sergio has his game face on, and has 3 putts for the win at the 18th for his 8th win on the PGA Tour..His lag from 60 feet is stone dead..

SERGIO is your winner..

Graham DeLaet T22 at -9 and David Hearn missed the cut..

This was a huge week for Sergio, he has now qualified for the Fed Ex Cup playoffs, and he has qualified for the Ryder Cup..

Jose Maria Olazábal now knows nine of his ten automatic qualifiers - Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Graeme McDowell, Paul Lawrie, Francesco Molinari, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Garcia and Peter Hanson.

The final spot is between Kaymer - not in the field at Gleneagles - and Colsaerts


CHAMPIONS Tour
 2012 Dick's Sporting Goods Open

With Michael Allen posted at 13-under, Willie Wood faced a must-birdie situation on the final hole of regulation to send the event into a playoff. He delivered right on cue, holing a 35-foot putt to shoot a 68 and force overtime. Wood then won the tournament on the first playoff hole with a par after Allen’s tee shot on the 18th found the water.

Wood overcame a double-bogey at the par-3 4th hole and trailed Brad Faxon by two strokes at the turn. He crept within a stroke with a birdie at the par-5 12th hole and when Faxon faltered and Allen birdied the 18th hole ahead of him, Wood knew what he had to do. It was the first playoff in the six-year history of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.

Willie Wood’s win today earned him an immediate exemption on the Champions Tour for one year from today and also earned him a two-year exemption into the season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai.

Willie Wood earned a check for $270,000 and collected 270 Charles Schwab Cup points. Wood vaulted from 52nd to 28th on the 2012 money list and now has $440,817 this season.

The 42-year old McLean made four straight birdies on the back nine, then made double bogey and bogey on the 15th and 16th holes before righting the ship with a clutch birdie on the penultimate hole. McLean posted 10-under par to win by two shots over Chile's Hugo Leon.



European Senior Tour
SSE Scottish Open,

europeantour.com   Anders Forsbrand claimed an historic wire-to-wire victory in the SSE Scottish Open, holding off a stunning charge from Philip Golding to become the first Swede to win on the European Senior Tour.

The 51 year old, who began the day with a three stroke cushion, always had a stranglehold on the tournament at Fairmont St Andrews, but Englishman Golding’s second consecutive eight under par round of 64 put Forsbrand under pressure in the closing stages.

However, the ice-cool Scandinavian held firm and a final round of 67 gave him a winning total of 17 under par 199, one shot clear of Golding, who finished runner up in just his second Senior Tour event, and three ahead of David J Russell.

It was Forsbrand’s first victory in 17 years, having claimed the last of his six European Tour titles in the 1995 German Masters, and represents the start of a new chapter for Swedish golf.





Web.com Tour
Midwest Classic Presented by Cadillac
pgatour.com  As Web.com Tour rookie Shawn Stefani said minutes after his victory on Sunday, "when you win a lot of good things go your way." Well, a lot of good things went the former mini-tour performer's way, especially his second shot at No. 18.
Tied with Russell Henley at 16-under and hitting his second shot at No. 18, Stefani's lob wedge went flew over the flag, bounced off the mesh fencing at the base of the sky boxes and rolled back on the green, a mere three feet from the hole and a possible birdie. His good fortune resulted in a birdie moments later and the outright lead which was never relinquished. He finished two strokes better than Henley and Luke List for his first Web.com Tour victory.
"That ball at 18 could have kicked several ways, but it broke right for me. Today it went my way," said Stefani, whose previous best finish was a T9 at the Panama Claro Championship in his second start of the campaign.
"The win hasn't really sunk in yet, but this is something you dream about as a kid. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. When the year started I had a couple of goals. One was to win a tournament and the other was to finish in the top 25 and earn my PGA TOUR card," Stefani continued. "I was a little pumped up when I hit that second shot. The adrenaline was going, but the hardest part was making the putt after my shot."
Stefani (64 -17) had been playing on the mini-tour circuit for much of the previous five years after finishing his college career at Lamar University in Texas. The Houston resident played on the NGA Hooters Tour and the Adams Golf Pro Tour Series prior to earning a spot on the Web.com Tour this year at the PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament
