PGA Tour and LPGA cards are on the line this week at both the Web.com and Symetra Tour Championships. Canadian Brad Fritsch shot a final round 66 to secure his, while the LPGA Tour was rain delayed and will wrap up today.

Rookie Chesson Hadley fired a 1-under 69 Sunday and won the season-ending Web.com Tour Championship by two strokes over four others. Hadley, a rookie out of Georgia Tech, posted a 10-under 270 total at the TPC Sawgrass Dye’s Valley course and collected his second win of the year
Brendon Todd’s 5-under 65 was the low round of the day and it gave the Stadion Classic at UGA winner a share of second place with Brad Fritsch (66), LSU’s John Peterson (72) and third-round leader Scott Gardiner (72) of Australia.
Brad Fritsch fired a 4-under 66 Sunday to finish at 8-under 272 and T2. Fritsch chalked up nine birdies in the final round and will return to the PGA TOUR for the upcoming season.
Fritsch had missed the cut in all three of the previous Finals events and came into the week tied for 116th in the Priority Ranking. His T2 effort was worth $66,000 and pushed him all the way up to No. 14 in the Priority Ranking.
Fritsch made the cut in 18 of 24 PGA TOUR starts this year, which was his rookie season. He had one top-10 finish (T9 at Farmers Insurance Open) and ended the season No. 129 on the FedExCup points list

Round 4
David Howell celebrated reaching the end of a "long, long road from the depths of despair" after claiming his first European Tour title in seven years by beating American Peter Uihlein in a sudden-death play-off at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Howell carded a final round of 67 to set the clubhouse target at St Andrews and then watched as overnight leader Uihlein missed from 15 feet for a winning birdie on the 18th, meaning the pair finished tied on 23 under par.
Both players narrowly missed long birdie attempts on the first extra hole but Howell, who had lost all four of his previous play-offs, made no such mistake from eight feet when action switched to the 18th to claim the title and first prize of €589,561.

The winner of the season-ending Symetra Tour event and the top 10 players who will earn their 2014 LPGA Tour cards will have to wait to be determined later today as darkness halts the final round play.

The third round leaders teed off at 3:15 p.m. and player through 16 holes before play was called for darkness. Play will resume at 8 a.m.this morning.

Scrap the Fed Ex Cup playoffs !!
Henrik Stenson is a deserving winner of the Tour Championship and the Fed Ex Cup, nobody has had a better 3 months..
His amazing summer began with a tie for third in the Scottish Open. Stenson followed with a runner-up at the Open Championship and the World Golf Championships-Bridgeston Invitational, third place at the PGA Championship and a win at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
While Jordan Speith got to within a shot of Stenson's lead on Sunday, the big Swede pulled away and in the end won comfortably.
But there was no real drama, and of course the real possibility existed under the current play off system that someone else could have won the Tour Championship while say, Tiger could have finished 20th and still claimed the Fed Ex Cup, and remember a few years back Vijay Singh just had to show up at the Tour Championship, which he did, to win the Fed Ex.... how anti-climatic.
Look the only playoffs in golf should be played at the end of 72 holes to decide a winner of a tournament..
Scrap the Fed Ex Cup and the points system that nobody understands. Stop giving these guys $10m to win it because in this day and age it is offensive to fans, and the players don't need it.
Keep the Barclay's, the BMW, the Deistic Bank, they are fine sponsors, just add up all the money won during the year to establish the top 30 or 50 money winners, let them play the Tour Championship.. and the winner is the winner...
Nobody understands the current system, and worse, it isn't providing any drama, in fact it can and has been doing the opposite...!!

Stenson wins it all !!... Final scoreboards
PGA TOUR
TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP BY COCA-COLA
Site: Atlanta.
Course: East Lake Golf Club (7,307 yards, par 70).
Purse: $8 million. Winner's share: $1.44 million.
Canadian Graham DeLaet +4 68,71 72 73
Round 4
In the final round of the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola at East Lake Golf Club, Henrik Stenson shot a 2-under 68, winning the tournament and the FedExCup.
Not even among the top 200 players in the world two years ago, Stenson capped off the best three months of his career with a command performance Sunday in the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola to earn his second victory of the FedExCup Playoffs and win golf's biggest prize -- the FedExCup
Jordan Speith left one last impression on his remarkable rookie season by running off four straight birdies on the back nine at East Lake to pull within one shot after Stenson went well over the 14th green and made his long bogey.
Stenson, who finished at 13-under 267, became the first European to win the TOUR Championship and the FedExCup. He walked away with $11.44 million -- $10 million for the FedExCup ($9 million of that in cash) and $1.44 million for winning the TOUR Championship.
His amazing summer began with a tie for third in the Scottish Open. Stenson followed with a runner-up at the Open and the World Golf Championships-Bridgeston Invitational, third place at the PGA Championship and a win at the Deutsche Bank Championship
Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seed going into the TOUR Championship, never recovered from his 73-71 start. He closed with a 67 to tie for 22nd, his worst finish ever at East Lake, and wound up second in the FedExCup. That still was worth a $3 million bonus.
Woods wrapped up the PGA of America's points-based award for player of the year, and he captured the PGA TOUR money title and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted scoring title.
Next up is a vote of the players for PGA TOUR player of the year. He is the heavy favorite with five wins this year including a victory at TPC Sawgrass in THE PLAYERS.

Round 2
Mark Wiebe holed an eight-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation to get into a playoff with Corey Pavin and then eventually defeated him with a 20-foot par-saving putt on the second extra hole.
On the second playoff hole, it appeared as if Pavin was in better position to win after chipping his third shot to within 10 feet of the flag. Prior to that, Wiebe putted from the fringe for his third shot but when he failed to get his ball over the ridge in the sloping 18th green, it eventually rolled back to 20 feet. However, Wiebe holed his putt and then watched Pavin come up short on his bid to send the playoff to a third extra hole

ITALIAN OPEN
Site: Turin, Italy.
Schedule: Thursday-Sunday.
Course: Golf Club Torino (7,208 yards, par 72).
Purse: $2 million. Winner's share: $333,640.
Round 4
A brilliant back nine 31 saw Julien Quesne snatch the 70° Open d’Italia Lindt at Golf Club Torino and claim his second European Tour title.
The Frenchman began the day four shots off the lead and looked out of contention when he ran up a double-bogey six on the second, but birdied the fourth and sixth and then stormed home in 31.
The 33 year old picked up shots at the tenth, 11th and 15th before chipping in from short of the 17th green and holing from six feet for another birdie on the last to complete a closing 67.
That set the clubhouse target on 12 under par just moments before overnight leader Marcus Fraser, who was also 12 under, three-putted the 15th and dropped another shot on the par- three 16th after missing the green from the tee.
Fraser eventually signed for a 74 to finish joint eighth on nine under, leaving Ireland's David Higgins and England's Steve Webster to share second on 11 under.

He closed with a four-under-par 68 for a 54-hole total of 15-under-par total of 201 to hold off Jaco Ahlers, whose three-under 69 saw him finish on 204. James Kamte was third after a closing 70 put him on 205 for the R500,000 tournament.
“Not winning never really bothered me,” said Schietekat, “until I came second at the Vodacom Origins of Golf tournament at Simola. I told myself I should have won that one, and I started to take steps to fix things

The 27 year old from Gothenburg entered the final day with a two shot lead in Almaty but as his contenders to the throne slowly began to drop away, Carlsson hammered home the win with an incredible show of composure to card a bogey-free five under par round of 67 and record the biggest winning margin in the tournament’s history.

Bethpage Black to host 2019 PGA and 2024 Ryder Cup
FARMINGDALE, N.Y AP. — The Ryder Cup and PGA Championship are coming to Bethpage Black.
The PGA of America announced Tuesday that Bethpage Black will host the rowdiest event in golf in 2024. The public course at a Long Island state park has developed a well-earned reputation for loud and boisterous fans, having played host to two U.S. Open championships in 2002 and 2009. Last year, the Barclays was held there as part of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
PGA of America President Ted Bishop says players have asked for years about playing the Ryder Cup at Bethpage.
He said he was watching Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler during a practice round at the 2010 Ryder Cup, when Bethpage Black came up. Bishop says Fowler mused, “Can you imagine what a great home field advantage and how intimidating a Bethpage Black Ryder Cup would be?”
“This venue, this course, this city is going to take the Ryder Cup to a place that it’s never been before,” Bishop said.
“The PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup tournaments will also provide a tremendous boost to the Long Island economy and put the beautiful, world-class Bethpage State Golf Course on an international stage,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He noted the PGA Championship held at Oak Hill near Rochester this summer brought 200,000 visitors to the region, and added $75 million to the local economy.
Officials at Tuesday’s press conference noted that New York also hosted to the first PGA Championship in 1916 in Bronxville.
“To combine the energy of the Ryder Cup with the energy of Bethpage State Park and the state of New York and New York sports fans is really exciting to think about,” PGA CEO Pete Bevacqua.
Bethpage Black first held a big tournament at the 2002 U.S. Open won by Tiger Woods. It held another U.S. Open in 2009, and The Barclays in 2012 as part of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Woods will be 48 when the Ryder Cup is held at Bethpage Black.

Patte wins at the Briars...
Jacob Patte wins PGA of Ontario Apprentice Championship
SUTTON WEST, ON - If at first you don't succeed, try again!
That was Jacob Patte's motto heading into Monday's PGA of Ontario Apprentice Championship at scenic Briars Golf Club.
A year ago, Patte, who is in his second year as an assistant professional at Oshawa Golf & Curling Club, fired a not so impressive 77 during his first tour of the Stanley Thompson/Robbie Robinson designed layout in the Apprentice Championship.
This time around, Patte reeled off seven birdies and just two bogeys to post a winning score of 5-under, 66 for his first PGA of Ontario victory in 2013.
"Last year I learned what clubs you need to use on the tee, because the course is short and tight without a lot of room for error," said Patte who hit driver three times and 3-wood once over the par-71 track that plays just less than 6,300 yards. "I played pretty conservatively this year and just tried to hit the wide areas of the fairway. I made a lot of putts today and that was the difference. There was a stretch of holes from No. 8 through No. 15 that I felt I could not miss the hole."
During that stretch, Patte who won the Assistants' Team Championship and the Assistants' Summer Championship in 2012, rolled in five birdies with no bogeys! "This course has the same designer as Oshawa and some similar greens with similar green speeds, so I was definitely comfortable out there."
With a bogey on No. 18, Andrew Day from Whispering Hills Golf Club finished T2 with John McCann from Fairtree Golf Centre at 3-under, 68. Oshawa's J.C. Beecroft finished alone in fourth place at 2-under, while there was a three-way tie for fifth between Alex Green from Granite Golf Club, Brian McCann from The Academy at BraeBen Bradlee Ryall Golf and Chima McLean from Beach Fairway Golf Range.
Patte will tee it up Wednesday for the Golf Supply House PGA of Ontario Fall Championship at The Georgian Bay Club.

PGA Tour Canada announces a new event for 2014..
| PGA TOUR Canada announces Thunder Bay Golf Classic |
(September 17, 2013 – Thunder Bay, Ontario) – PGA TOUR Canada will be launching a new event at Whitewater Golf Club in Thunder Bay next season, it was announced Tuesday.
The three-year agreement will see the Thunder Bay Golf Classic take place at Whitewater Golf Club July 14-20 2014, and will feature some of Canada’s biggest names, up-and-coming stars, established veterans and international standouts.
"We're delighted to be coming to Thunder Bay next season as we see it as a perfect fit to host a PGA TOUR Canada event," said PGA TOUR Canada President Jeff Monday. "We look forward to establishing this tournament as a major attraction in the city and developing a strong relationship with the community for next season and beyond. Fans coming out to this tournament can expect to see an extremely high level of play from some of the best young PGA TOUR prospects from around the world."
Community members, city officials and local sponsors along with PGA TOUR Canada players Cory Renfrew and Riley Wheeldon gathered at Whitewater Golf Club Tuesday to announce the details of the event.
“Bringing a PGA TOUR Canada event to Thunder Bay is tremendous news for the Thunder Bay community,” said Scott Smith, Executive Director of the Thunder Bay Golf Classic. “Along with the support of our founding partners Marostica Motors, Central Canada Industries Inc.Keating Insulation, Janzen's Pharmacy and Smith's RV Centre, we’re excited about bringing some world class golf to the region and making the Thunder Bay Golf Classic an excellent event.”
PGA TOUR Canada launched its inaugural season in 2013 with nine events taking place across the country. The Thunder Bay Golf Classic is the first addition to the 2014 schedule, taking place July 14-20, the week before the RBC Canadian Open.
The top five players on the Order of Merit each season earn Web.com Tour cards for the following season, the first step on the path to the PGA TOUR. Mackenzie Hughes, Riley Wheeldon, Mark Hubbard, Hugo Leon and Wil Collins finished in The Five in PGA TOUR Canada’s inaugural season and earned Web.com Tour cards for 2014.
PGA TOUR Canada’s inaugural season wrapped up last week at the TOUR Championship of Canada presented by Freedom 55 Financial. The 2014 PGA TOUR Canada schedule will be announced at a later date.

Max Gilbert of St. Georges, Quebec won the TOUR Championship of Canada presented by Freedom 55 Financial Sunday, making birdie at the penultimate hole to take the lead and two putting for the win by one shot over Scottsdale, Arizona’s Trevor Murphy.

Round 4
In the final round of the BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club, Zach Johnson shot a 6-under 65 to win by two strokes.
His win in the penultimate event of the FedExCup Playoffs gave Johnson the No. 4 seed going into the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola, giving him a clear shot at the FedExCup.
Johnson's 10th career win came at the expense of Jim Furyk, who endured another dose of final-round disappointment. Furyk, who had a one-shot lead, has failed to win the last six times he had at least a share of the lead going into the last round. He holed a 12-foot birdie putt at No. 10 to build a two-shot lead, but played the last eight holes in 2-over and wound up with a 71 to finish alone in third
Luke Donald, a member at Conway Farms, was No. 54 in the FedExCup and was on the verge of being left out of the top 30 players who advanced to the TOUR Championship. He ran off four straight birdies on the back nine, atoned for a bogey on No. 16 with a birdie on the 17th, and then two-putted for par on the 18th hole for a 66 to tie for fourth. That moved him up to No. 29 to get him into East Lake.
Nick Watney was at No. 34, and he went from playing his way into the top 30 to nearly winning the tournament. Watney closed with a 64 and was tied for the lead until Johnson made an 18-foot birdie putt out of the first cut on the 16th hole, and a 12-footer for birdie on the next hole
David Hearn did not make it t0 Atlanta and Graham DeLaet will start the week seeded 7th..

Minutes after Huizing secured a two shot win in the Ukraine, Luiten beat Miguel Angel Jiménez on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off at Kennemer Golf Club to become the first home winner for a decade.
A par on the 18th was enough to give Luiten his third European Tour title and second of the season after Jiménez three-putted from long range.

Despite a closing five holes which featured a double bogey, a bogey and three birdies, the 50 year old completed the first wire-to-wire victory of the season at Moscow Country Club after a closing 70 sealed a 12 under par 204 total and a two-shot cushion over joint runners-up Mike Harwood and Carl Mason (both 68).
