Stenson wins, finally...DeLaet, Hearn qualify... Final results for all tours ....

Henrik Stenson finally won after a summer that has seen him 2nd and 3rd in majors, 2nd to Tiger at a WGC,and in all honesty the best player in the world over the last few months..Over a year ago he was outside the top 200, today he is up to world #6..


PGA TOUR - DEUTSCHE BANK CHAMPIONSHIP (FEDEX CUP PLAYOFFS)
COURSE: TPC Boston (7,216 yards, par 71).
PURSE: $8 million. Winner’s share: $1.44 million.

Canadians: Graham DeLaet 3rd -18 67 68 62 69, David Hearn  35th -9 68 69 67 71

Round 4
In the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston, Henrik Stenson shot a 5-under 66 to win, vaulting him to first place in the FedExCup standings

He was runner-up to Phil Mickelson at the Open Championship, and Tiger Woods at a World Golf Championship, and he tied for third at the PGA Championship to keep climbing in the FedExCup standings. Stenson was doing just about everything right this summer except winning, usually because someone simply played better

The big Swede already made one great comeback a decade ago to reach No. 5 in the world. He was outside the top 200 and his game in disarray at the start of the 2012 season. But he pulled himself out of another slump, and this win took him to No. 6 in the world ranking

Graham DeLaet started slowly and finished with two birdies for a 69 to finish alone in third and lock up a spot on his first Presidents Cup team for the International squad. David Hearn had a solid week at -9 and his 35th place finish qualifies him for the 70 man field in 2 weeks at the BMW..

Round 4 Final

Not even a double-bogey at the par 3 second hole could slow down Suzann Pettersen as she fired a final-round 5-under 67 to take home her second Safeway Classic title. Pettersen pulled away from a star-studded leaderboard on Sunday at Columbia Edgewater Country Club and finished at 20-under par to clinch her 12th LPGA Tour career victory. She finished two shots ahead of American and No. 2 ranked Stacy Lewis who shot a 4-under 65 and didn’t record a bogey through all 72 holes this week.

Round 4 (Final)

Grégory Bourdy found the Midas touch on the greens to produce a stunning finish that sealed victory at the ISPS Handa Wales Open.

Joint-top with overnight leader Peter Uihlein after 15 holes, the Frenchman made a decisive move in the closing stages of his round.

Having holed a 50 footer from just off the green on the difficult 16th, he picked up another shot by draining a tricky one from 15 at the next.

The The Celtic Manor Resort's par five last proved no obstacle as Bourdy ridiculously sunk a 30 footer for another birdie to complete a 67 that moved him to eight under par

PURSE: $150,000

Canadians :  Will Mitchell, Ben Silverman, Marc-Etienne Bussieres

Round 4  (Final)

While Blake Sattler was the only one in the Woodcreek Classic playoff without a victory on the NGA TOUR, he felt the odds were in his favor to come out on top.

I was pretty relaxed,” said Sattler, who joined NGA winners Chas Narramore and Daniel McCarthy in extra holes on Sunday. “I was thinking, well, this is going to be my best finish ever, regardless of what happens. You play to win the game, and that’s the only thing that was on my mind.”
The laissez-faire attitude proved pivotal for the former University of Akron standout as he was the only one of the three to make par on the first playoff hole and earned his first NGA TOUR victory.

COURSE: Mid Pines Inn, Southern Pines, N.C. (6,528 yards, par 71)

Canadians: Ryan Terdik, Robbie Greenwell

Round 4 (Final)
The final round of the eGolf Tour’s Mid Pines Classic was a veritable jigsaw puzzle of contenders throughout much of a steamy afternoon at historic Mid Pines Club. With nearly a dozen players within two shots of the lead at one time or another, former Penn State star T.J. Howe of Osceola, PA emerged victorious, riding a clutch 71st-hole birdie to a final-round 68 and a 72-hole total of 15-under 269, good for his second win of the 2013 season.

Howe, who entered the week on the heels of a recently diagnosed partially torn meniscus in his right knee, spent all four days at the famous 1921 Donald Ross design atop the leaderboard. Opening rounds of 64-68-69—201 gave him a share of the 18-, 36- and 54-hole leads heading into Friday’s final round

Englishman Carl Mason, who was bidding for a third Senior Masters title this week, signed for a two over par 74 to finish in a tie for fourth alongside Scotland’s Ross Drummond
