Hanson eagles the last to win KLM Open by two

Peter Hanson drilled a long-range eagle putt at the par-5 18th hole in his final round of the KLM Open to emerge victorious by two strokes.

Make no mistake, Hanson dissected Hilversumsche Golf Club in Hilversum, The Netherlands all week, posting 14-under-par 66-66-67-67=266, but he needed to climb over a quartet of co-leaders after 54 holes to close the deal. Tied for the lead at the 72nd hole, he centered his approach to the reachable par 5, the ball coming to rest well right of the hole. His conversion was perfect, both in line and speed. Pablo Larrazabal, who closed with a 70, shared second place with Richie Ramsay at 12-under 268. The Spaniard finished best among the 54-hole leaders. Fellow co-leader, Scott Jamieson, shot 71 today to earn solo fourth-place honors. The other two 54-hole leaders, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Graeme Storm, both carded a Sunday 73, fading into a share of fifth place with Henrik Stenson (69), who was one of two golfers (Richard Finch) with two eagles on the day. This is Hanson's fifth career victory on the European Tour and first since 2010. His next event is the Ryder Cup on Sept. 28-30.

Garcia even par in his opener at Wentworth

Sergio Garcia settled for an even-par 35-37=72 in his opening round of the BMW PGA Championship.

This, of course, was his first round since his racially senstive comment earlier in the week. Given the conditions in England today, it's not a bad score, but he saved his round with an eagle-3 at the (in)famous 18th hole. Prior to that, he holed four birdies and swallowed four bogeys and a double.

Hoffman claws back from 3-over to post a 66

Charley Hoffman signed for a 4-under-par 36-30=66 following his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Props to Blondilocks for reeling in a red number today. He started on the 10th hole and was 3-over after seven. That early stumble included a rinsed tee ball at the par-3 13th where he'd roll in a putt for bogey from 11'8". After a three-putt for bogey from just inside 20 feet at the par-4 14th, he found water off the tee again, this time at the par-3 16th. Hoffman then settled down and played his final 11 holes in bogey-free 7-under with seven birdies, four of which finding the cup from outside 12 feet. The highlight of the bunch was the first one, a 29-footer at 17. He concluded his round sitting just four strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Ryan Palmer spins a bogey-free 62; leads CPI

Colonial Country Club member Ryan Palmer thrashed his home course for eight birdies en route to a bogey-free, 8-under-par 31-31=62 in his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Palmer split 12 (of 14) fairways and hit 14 greens in regulation en route to a career-tying low on the PGA TOUR. It's the fifth time he's signed for a 62 and the second time this season (final round; WM Phoenix Open). Today's gave him a comfortable clubhouse lead as the afternoon wave begins. Three of his birdies disappeared from beyond 10 feet, the longest of which 17'3" at the 14th hole. At the time he signed his card, he owned the longest drive of the day (353 yards, par-5 11th hole) while his strokes gained-putting split sat north of 2.700. He tied for fifth in this event last year and posted a T5 at THE PLAYERS two weeks ago.

Back prevents Goosen from playing the BMW PGA

Retief Goosen withdrew from this week's BMW PGA Championship on Wednesday due to a lingering injury in his back.

What started as a hopeful year has rapidly devolved into a problem for his fantasy owners. Goosen withdrew during his opening round of THE PLAYERS two weeks ago due to his back. He had surgery to repair an issue last August, and then made an early return to competition in January. Entering this week, he sat 152nd in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Report: Levin to play in U.S. Open qualifier

Spencer Levin is scheduled to tee it up at the U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on June 3, according to PGATOUR.com.

This is obviously great news. It was just on April 10 that Levin announced in a Google+ Hangout hosted by the PGA TOUR that he'd take the entire season off to recover from thumb surgery. Today's news included a note that he's going to work in starts on the Web.com Tour beginning in late August. These would be considered rehab starts in advance of the 2013-14 season that begins on Oct. 10.

Snedeker taking meds for 'low bone turnover'

An expansive article at Golf.com reveals that Brandt Snedeker learned recently that he has a rare condition in his ribs referred to as low bone turnover.

In short, Snedeker's ribs don't regenerate at the rate of a healthy 32-year-old. "I had everything tested [at the Mayo Clinic] and they found this one anomaly in my DNA," he said. "What it boils down to is that my ribs are just really brittle compared to the rest of my bones. So I’m on this medication [Forteo] that is supposed to strengthen your bones and keep this stuff from happening." (Forteo is not among the prohibited substances on the PGA TOUR's drug policy.) While he's dealt with four cracked ribs in recent years, Snedeker's latest malady was a strained oblique muscle originally sustained in January before the Humana Challenge. He played through it and capped a ridiculous run with a win at Pebble Beach. Now that he has a lid on this condition, we should expect consistently strong form moving forward. The 2012 FedExCup champ is on a two-week respite before next week's Memorial. He's posted top 10s in two of his last three starts.

D.A. Points withdraws from CPI at Colonial

D.A. Points has withdrawn from this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

The PGA TOUR's media department reported this. Points has cashed in seven consecutive starts, culminating with a T12 at last week's Byron Nelson, but Colonial has confounded the two-time winner. He's missed the cut in all three appearances and hasn't competed in the tournament since 2010.

Teater leads eight into The Open Championship

Josh Teater completed 36 holes of International Final Qualifying-America in 7-under-par 64-69=133, good for medalist honors and a berth into The Open Championship.

Eight exemptions into the field at Muirfield on July 18-21 were on the line at Gleneagles Golf & Country Club in Dallas today. Teater circled 12 birdies against three bogeys and a double to secure his first start in a major. Camilo Villegas and Johnson Wagner shared runner-up honors at 6-under 68-66=134. Scott Brown (71-64) tied for fourth with Brian Davis (66-69) at 5-under 135. Brown went bogey-free in his second round with two eagles and two birdies; Davis converted nine birdies in his first round, including six in a row at one point. The final three golfers were decided in a four-way playoff. Robert Karlsson (4-under 67-69=136), Bud Cauley (70-66=136) and Luke Guthrie (65-71=136) survived with pars on the first extra hole. Andres Echavarria (67-69=136) bogeyed the playoff hole. The last of the IFQs will be contested in England on June 24.

Oosthuizen can't give it a go at Colonial

Louis Oosthuizen has been removed from the published field of this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

His owners feared that this would serve as today's headline. He withdrew prior to his final round of last week's Byron Nelson due to a neck injury. Oosthuizen had planned on teeing it up in four straight culminating with next week's Memorial, so we'll have to remain patient as he deals with his malady.

Goydos circles St. Jude for potential return

Paul Goydos alerted his followers on Twitter tonight that he's hoping to return to competition at the FedEx St. Jude Classic on June 6-9.

In response to a query, Goydos wrote: "If things go well this week maybe Fed-Ex St Jude's in Memphis." The last time he was asked, he was eyeing "late spring" for a comeback. He had the second of two wrist surgeries last October. When he returns, the 48-year-old will have 21 starts on his Major Medical Extension to earn $590,290 and retain status. He turns 49 on June 20.
