Singh, Chapman, Johnson amongst your Sunday winners, final scores All Tours, All Canadians..

PGA TOUR 

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC
COURSE: TPC Deere Run (7,268 yards, par 71).
TELEVISION: Golf Channel (Thursday-Friday, 3-6 p.m., 8:30-11:30 p.m.) and CBS (Saturday-Sunday, 3-6 p.m.)
CANADIANS: Matt McQuillan MC 73,71 David Hearn MC 74,65

Round 4 notes:

Zack Johnson won the John Deere on Sunday with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. His 193-yard 6-iron approach from the bunker left of the 18th fairway ran up to less than a foot from the cup for an easy birdie, enabling him to knock off Troy Matteson, whose approach landed 43 feet from the pin.
"I saw it bounce on the green and hoped it would kick left," Johnson said. "I couldn't see the golf ball."
Johnson couldn't miss hearing the gallery, many of them friends, as the ball crept within a foot of the hole.
"I liked that crescendo from the crowd," said Johnson, who is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, about an hour from the Quad Cities.

The kick-in birdie had seemed unlikely minutes earlier after Johnson followed Matteson into the water from the same bunker on the first playoff hole. Each settled for double-bogey 6, then went back to the 18th tee for another try

CHAMPIONS TOUR - U.S. SENIOR OPEN

CANADIANS: Rod Spittle T28 +2 70,69,71 72 E Jim Rutledge T33 +3 72 72 73 66

Round 4 notes. 

Roger Chapman is Pure Michigan. Seven weeks after claiming the Senior PGA Championship in Benton Harbor, Chapman surged from four strokes back with a final-round 66 to claim the U.S. Senior Open at Indianwood Golf & Country Club by two strokes over a quartet of major championship winners on either the PGA TOUR or the Champions Tour. Chapman took the lead for good with a birdie at No. 8 just after Bernhard Langer, the 54-hole leader, made bogey at No. 7.  Langer had held a four-stroke advantage at the start of the day but got off to a rough start, making double-bogey at the par-4 2nd hole after an errant drive and a skulled bunker shot. Chapman increased his lead to two strokes midway through the final round after a 10-foot birdie putt at No. 14. However,  his lead was briefly cut to one when Chapman made bogey at No. 16, 20 minutes after Tom Lehman had two-putted for birdie at the par-5 15th to get to 8-under for the tournament.  Any chance his pursuers had was short lived when Chapman responded a career shot on the par-3 17th, rifling a 5-iron to within six inches of the hole for a kick-in birdie that moved his margin back to two strokes for good.

EUROPEAN TOUR 

SCOTTISH OPEN
COURSE: Castle Stuart Golf Links (7,050 yards, par 72).
TELEVISION: Golf Channel (Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.; Friday, 12:30-3 a.m., 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.; Saturday, 12:30-3 a.m., 8 a.m.-12:15 p.m., 2-5 p.m., 8:30-11:30 p.m.; Sunday, 8 a.m.-12:15 p.m., 2-6 p.m., 9-11:30 p.m.).

Round 4 notes

In the end it was the Indian who beat the Italian.

Jeev Milkha Singh 67, has just holed a 15 footer for birdie on the first playoff hole to beat Francisco Molinari 72, who had just holed a clutch 15 footer of his own for par to force the playoff at the 72nd.

Singh didn't drop a shot all day and his 67 had him in the clubhouse at -17, seemingly out of contention for the win. However Marc Warren 71, Alex Noren 70,  Soren Kjeldsen 72 along with Molinari all missed chance after chance to win the Scottish Open

Singh's win, his first in 4 years was sweet as he has been beset with injuries, including a wonky back and he now heads from Inverness down to Blackpool where he is now in the field for next weeks Open Championship.

Molinari struggled today and has now been 2nd two weeks in a row and will be my dark horse for Lytham and St Annes next week.

EUROPEAN CHALLENGE TOUR

CREDIT SUISSE CHALLENGE
COURSE: Golf Sempachersee, Lucerne, SUI
CANADIANS: Andrew Parr T135  +8 75 75

Round 4 notes..

Gary Stal confirmed his status as one of the hottest prospects in European golf after the 20 year old Frenchman claimed his second Challenge Tour title in as many months at the Credit Suisse Challenge, beating compatriot Alexandre Kaleka in a play-off.
In a dramatic finale at Golf Sempachersee, outside Lucerne, Kaleka made a late charge thanks to three birdies on the back nine in windy conditions and his par on the 18th meant Stal needed a birdie to win in regular play.
The young man from Lyon left himself with a difficult putt for par, after his approach fell short at the front of the green and his birdie putt stopped six feet from the hole, but he showed nerves of steel to sink it and finish on 11 under par, tied with Kaleka.
He topped that off by showing true grit on the first play-off hole. After his second shot landed short of the second tier upon which the pin was placed, Stal left himself an extremely tough putt to win. But, following Kaleka’s missed birdie chance, he rolled it over the ridge and straight into the centre of the cup to rapturous cheers from the watching crowds

WEB.COM TOUR

UTAH CHAMPIONSHIP
COURSE: Willow Creek Country Club (6,953 yards, par 71).
TELEVISION: Golf Channel (Thursday-Saturday, 6:30-8:30 p.m.; Sunday, 7-9 p.m.; Monday, 12:30-2:30 a.m.).

CANADIANS: Stuart Anderson MC 76,77 Chris Baryla MC 72,75 Bryan DeCorso MC 69,73 Brad Fritsch T22 -9 64,70 73 68  Adam Hadwin MC 75,71 Richard Scott T9 -11 70,69 68 66 Ryan Yip MC 72,68 James Love T9 -11 66,68,69 70

Round 4 Notes...

All week long at the Utah Championship, Doug LaBelle II talked about his putting and the work he needed to do on the greens if he expected to win. Sunday, his most important putt was a five-foot, downhiller for par on the 72nd hole. When that putt dropped, it kept him at 15-under and gave the Scottsdale, Ariz., resident a one-stroke victory. His 18th-hole heroics kept him out of what would have been a five-man playoff

The victory was LaBelle's second on the Web.com Tour, six years in the waiting. He's played 94 Web.com Tour events since he won the 2006 Price Cutter Charity Championship, and he also made 57 PGA TOUR starts during that period, with only two top-10s

Canadians had a good week..Brad Fritsch 68 -9 T22 and James Love 70 -11 T9, Richard Scott 66 -11 T9. Scott is now only about $1500 out of the top 25 ...

Round 4 notes.

After finishing bogey-bogey in regulation to force a playoff with Michael Sims at the eGolf Tour’s eighth annual Southern Open, Drew Weaver of High Point, NC calmly rolled in a 30-foot birdie bomb on the first extra hole to claim his second win of the 2012 season, as well as the event’s $24,000 first-place prize. The win, a mere continuation of one of the greatest stretches of golf in recent memory, pushed Weaver’s 2012 earnings over the $100,000 mark, making the former Virginia Tech star the fastest player to the magical six-figure benchmark in tour history
