Despite the rain they managed to get the Wells Fargo done, but with all kinds of big names like Mickelson, Westwood, McIlroy falling by the wayside, another relatively unknown player hit the jackpot. Derek Ernst, ranked 1,207 in the world beat David Lynn in a playoff, put a million bucks in his jeans, and is good to go for 2 years on tour starting with the Players Championship this week..
Here is the wrap up of all tours, including every Canadian score..
PGA TOUR - WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP
COURSE: Quail Hollow Club (7,492 yards, par 72).
PURSE: $6.7 million. Winner’s share: $1,206,000.
CANADIAN CONNECTION: Stephen Ames MC, Brad Fritsch T68 +7 71 72 77 75, David Hearn T43 +2 69 72 75 74, Mike Weir MDF 72 73 76
Round 4
pgatour.com. Six days after Derek Ernst received a call that he was in the Wells Fargo Championship as the fourth alternate, the 22-year-old rookie found himself one shot out of the lead and 192 yards away from the flag on the 18th hole, the toughest at Quail Hollow in the cold, wind and rain of a grueling final round.
Ernst choked up on a 6-iron and hit a draw that landed 4 feet from the hole for one of only four birdies on the closing hole Sunday.
The birdie gave him a 2-under 70 and tied him with David Lynn of England, who also had a 70. And it turned out to be no fluke. Returning to the 18th in the playoff, as the rain started coming out harder, Ernst hit a 3-iron to about 15 feet left of the flag that set up his stunning victory.
Phil Mickelson didn't get a chance to join them. He had a one-shot lead with three holes to play until making back-to-back bogeys, missing putts of 6 feet and 10 feet. His 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th narrowly missed, and Mickelson closed with a 73
So ended a strange week at Quail Hollow. The greens were shockingly bad due to weather and agronomical issues, which led to several players dropping out. The sun never really came out all week, and the wind chill Sunday morning made it hard to believe it was the first weekend in May. It felt like February at Pebble Beach
Ernst was playing only his ninth PGA TOUR event. He was No. 1,207 in the world ranking. He was in a car headed to Athens, Ga., to play a Web.com Tour event when he got the phone call that there was a tee time for him at Quail Hollow.
Robert Karlsson, the Swede who now lives in Charlotte, needed a birdie on the last hole to get into the playoff but made bogey for a 72. That left him in a tie for fourth with Westwood, who was tied for the lead until back-to-back bogeys early on the back nine.
McIlroy was one shot behind when he made a double bogey on the 12th hole. He played that hole in 4 over for the week. He had a 73 and tied for 10th

Round 4
lpga.com It was another fight to the finish in Williamsburg, Va. at the Kingsmill Championship, as Cristie Kerr outlasted Suzann Pettersen in a two-hole sudden death playoff for her 16th career victory.
Kerr sank a two-foot par putt on the 18th hole to clinch the win and break into the winner’s circle for the third time at Kingsmill. Kerr, who shot a 2-under 69 in the final round, said she grinded out in regulation and felt lucky to even be in contention

Round 4 (Final)
Brett Rumford delivered a short-game masterclass as the Australian became only the 31st player to win consecutive titles on The European Tour at the Volvo China Open.
After a nail-biting play-off victory at the Ballantine’s Championship last Sunday, matters were much more straightforward at Binhai Lake for the 35 year old, who surged clear with five birdies in ten holes to turn the final round into a procession.
A couple of dropped shots over the closing holes were no more than a footnote as Rumford signed for a four under par 68 and 16 under total – four clear of Finland’s Mikko Ilonen.
The fourth and fifth European Tour titles of Rumford’s career signal a remarkable upturn in form – he was 138th on The Race to Dubai a fortnight ago but now leads the way on €811,806, having won €775,406 in his past two tournaments
