Darkness strands 18 at Riviera Country Club

The opening round of the Northern Trust Open was suspended for darkness at 5:43 p.m. PT.

It's not unusual for the first two rounds of this tournament to bleed into a second day. It's a 144-man field on one course in mid-February, not to mention that rain and wind have slowed play in recent years. Eighteen golfers failed to complete their openers, including PGA TOUR rookie D.H. Lee, who is back in action after a surprising early withdrawal from last week's stop at Pebble Beach. Lee is 3-over-par through 15 holes. He and the other 17 will return to Riviera at 7:20 a.m. on Friday to completed their rounds. The second round remains scheduled to begin at 6:40 a.m.

Judgment rendered to Dyson: Probation, but...

The European Tour has assessed an 18-month probation to Simon Dyson as punishment for his infraction at the BMW Masters on Oct. 25.

After marking his ball on the eighth hole of the second round, Dyson infamously used the ball to tap down a spike mark on the line between his mark and the hole. He didn't assess what should have been a two-stroke penalty and ultimately signed for an incorrect scorecard leading to a disqualification. Today, his home circuit announced that Dyson was "involved a momentary aberration on his part, not a premeditated act of cheating." This allows him to continue to play under probation, but he owes £37,500 in fines and fees. And if he's cited for another breach of the Rules of Golf, he will be subject to a two-month suspension.

Schwartzel defends his title at Leopard Creek

Charl Schwartzel successfully defended his title at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, cruising to a four-stroke victory over Richard Finch at Leopard Creek Country Club in Malelane, South Africa.

Schwartzel took this tournament by 12 strokes a year ago, so today's margin seems tame despite the fact that it was anything but. After opening this week with a 4-under-par 68, he signed for respective rounds of 68, 67 and 68 to post 17-under 271. He played his last 62 holes in bogey-free 15-under. "Most of the time if you play 60 holes or whatever it may be without bogey then hopefully you’ll win," he said. "It’s always nice to get a win and get some confidence up. It’s been one of those years where I have played well and just didn’t get the wins. ... I’ve got two tournaments left and last week I played just as well as this week. It shows that I’m playing nicely and I’d like to see if I can continue." Last week's winner, Morten Ørum Madsen, led after 18 holes and shared the lead at the midpoint with Schwartzel, but a third-round 79 spoiled his bid to go back-to-back to open the new season on the European Tour. The Dane settled for a T16, 13 strokes adrift.

Jeong qualifies for his first WGC-Cadillac

Jin Jeong is now exempt into the 2014 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship for finishing second in the Order of Merit on the PGA Tour of Australasia.

The top two in earnings at the conclusion of the Emirates Australian Open are exempt into the no-cut tournament in March. The already-eligible Adam Scott ran away with the money title. Jeong made nine starts on the circuit. While he missed the cut in the season finale at Royal Sydney Golf Club to total four MCs on the docket, his win at the Perth Invitational provided the financial boost necessary to rise to No. 2 overall. He's made only one start in a WGC, finishing T18 at the HSBC Champions a month ago.

Senden among three to qualify for The Open

Thanks to his closing, bogey-free, 31-35=66 in the final round of the Emirates Australian Open, John Senden finished along in third place and earned the first of three exemptions into the 2014 Open Championship.

It was one of the games within the game. And since champion Rory McIlroy and runner-up Adam Scott stole the show, Senden's feat looks more like a B Flight title. He posted 11-under 277, seven strokes back of McIlroy and six in arrears of his fellow Aussie. The top three not otherwise exempt into the field at Royal Liverpool in July were awarded tee times at the major in July. Senden will be making his eighth appearance in the major and will be joined by two more Australians. Bryden Macpherson and Rhein Gibson shared fourth place at Royal Sydney Golf Club today at 9-under 279. The former will be get his second start in The Open (MC, 2011) while Gibson will be making his debut.

McIlroy thwarts Scott's run at Triple Crown

With a perfect roll for a birdie at the 72nd hole of the Emirates Australian Open, Rory McIlroy clipped Adam Scott by one stroke.

Scott wasn't just gunning for the outright wire-to-wire title at Royal Sydney Golf Club, he was chasing history after winning the first two legs of the PGA Tour of Australasia's Triple Crown. Instead, lackluster putting and a closing 1-under-par 35-36=71 swung the door open for the Ulsterman who has been in dire need of some success before turning the page on 2013. Playing in the final pairing with the Aussie, McIlroy blazed home in a bogey-free, 6-under 32-34=66 with an eagle and four birdies. It was good for the field co-low in the finale. He posted 18-under 270. Scott's approach to the final green sailed long before McIlroy tucked his to about 15 feet. Scott's chip on ran to the front of the green from where he'd settle for a lag two-putt for bogey. It forced McIlroy to sink the dagger for his first victory since the DP World Tour Championship just over 12 months ago. He is now officially exempt into the 2014 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.

Snedeker circles Kapalua for return to action

Brandt Snedeker has withdrawn from the Franklin Templeton Shootout.

The annual clambake in Naples, Fla., will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in two weeks, but Snedeker will continue to rest his left leg for official tournament competition the first week of January. "I have been pain free for the last five or so days," he said. "However, based on advice from my doctor, I feel it would be best to not push a return so that I will be at full strength and ready for the Hyundai Tournament of Champions [on Jan. 3-6]. The Franklin Templeton Shootout is such a fun event and I regret not being there this year." Sneds was replaced by Harris English in the 24-man field. Twelve teams of two compete in the three-day variety show.

Streelman (eye) withdraws from Aussie Open

Kevin Streelman withdrew during his second round of the Emirates Australian Open due to a scratched cornea in his left eye.

Streelman played four holes and walked off. He was 2-over-par on the round and even through 22 holes. "Yeah I woke up this morning and something wasn’t right in my eye," he said. "The doctor said it was pretty badly infected. I’ve been trying to do some drops but I started getting dizzy and it’s the first time I’ve ever [withdrawn] at a tournament. I’m really sad to do it but I’m going to head hospital and make sure everything’s okay." If he's able, the next stop on his globetrot is next week's Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa. He played in Malaysia, China and at the World Cup of Golf in Australia last week. His wife Courtney is scheduled to deliver the couple's first child very soon, but Kevin's whirlwind trip was planned long ago.

Cabrera scheduled to defend Open de Argentina

Ángel Cabrera is listed in the published field of next week's 108° VISA Open de Argentina where he is the defending champion.

On Nov. 26, he wrote the following on his Facebook page: "Next week I will be playing at the 108° VISA Open de Argentina presented by Peugeot, NEC Series - PGA TOUR Latinoamérica. Thanks for your support!" He cruised to a four-stroke victory in this event last year, the season finale on the development circuit. Cabrera withdrew early from the OHL Classic at Mayakoba due to discomfort in his left shoulder, something he acknowledged is connected to an old injury.

de Jonge planning on more golf abroad in 2014

In his first career start in a non-major on the European Tour, Brendon de Jonge opened the Alfred Dunhill Championship with a 1-over-par 38-35=73.

The Zimbabwean erased four birdies with three bogeys and a double at Leopard Creek Country Club in Malelane, South Africa, but the bigger news is that he's accepted Affiliate Membership on the European Tour, thus making himself eligible for the Race to Dubai. "I’m going to try and play a bit more globally," he said. "I think it rounds off your game." Because he advanced to the TOUR Championship, de Jonge is already eligible for the first three majors and the WGC-Cadillac Championship. His participation in the Presidents Cup exempt him into the WGC-Bridgestone, so it's just a matter of filling in the gaps elsewhere. "The kind of golf is so different to what we’re used to playing in America. Everything’s in the air in America, whereas on the European Tour the conditions can get windy and firm. It’s a different kind of golf and very refreshing." It's fair to assume that his total starts in the U.S. will take a hit, but his fantasy value shouldn't.

Arron Oberholser avers that he isn't retiring

Arron Oberholser tied for 28th place at last week's Callaway Pebble Beach Invitational and acknowledged that he'll keep playing golf in spots.

Forty-two golfers survived the 54-hole cut. Kevin Kisner won by one over Chesson Hadley, 275-276. Oberholser completed the 72-hole event at 68-72-71-75=286. Afterwards, he didn't shut the door on playing golf, but we may not see him on the PGA TOUR soon, if ever again. "It takes me four Advils a day to play in this," he said. "It's not a way to live or play golf at this level. These guys are too good. I can't manage my schedule enough to not feel pain." He still has status via a Major Medical Extension allowing 10 starts to earn $349,854, but that's a mere fact, not a carrot he's chasing. "I don't intend on using [the starts via the MME], but I am not retiring. I'm keeping my options open." Retirement in golf occurs in degrees, so even if he's done as a touring pro, he can still pocket some coin in one-off events and corporate functions. Needless to say, his fantasy value is nil.

Scott's bogey-free 62 leads Australian Open

Adam Scott reignited the afterburners in his opening round of the Emirates Australian Open after which he signed for a bogey-free, 10-under-par 30-32=62, good for outright possession of the clubhouse lead.

After winning the first two legs of the PGA TOUR of Australasia's Triple Crown, Scott sent the message early and often today that he's still the man to beat despite last week's sidestep at the World Cup of Golf. Starting on the 10th hole at Royal Sydney Golf Club, he ripped off six consecutive birdies. After eight straight pars, he ran the table the rest of the way, circling another four birdies. At the time he walked off -- with the course record, thank you -- no one else was within four strokes, including those that have already completed the lid-lifter.
