Hanson shoots 80; one of six MDFs at Riviera

Peter Hanson opened his week at the Northern Trust Open with a 2-under-par 69, but a third-round 9-over 41-39=80 means he will not stick around for Sunday's finale.

The Swede finished the week at 9-over 222. He is joined at Riviera CC by Retief Goosen (218), Jeff Maggert (219), Michael Block (221), David Mathis (221) and Jason Kokrak (224) as those without a tee time in the final round. One would think that this is not the way Hanson saw his warm-up for the WGC-Accenture Match Play ending, but now turns his attention to Dove Mountain.

Micheel ready to play after another procedure

Shaun Micheel is scheduled to compete in this week's WNB Golf Classic on the Web.com Tour.

Two months ago, Micheel learned that he had blockage of 99 percent of his right coronary artery. After having a procedure to alleviate the problem, he traveled to South American and finished T52 at the Chile Classic. Out since, he alerted followers on Twitter on April 17 that he was back in the hospital for more treatment: "Finally out of the OR. Doc fixed the RCA and Circumflex along w/2 more arteries. Hoping it holds...tired of hospitals!" On Wednesday, he learned that he gained entry into the Texas stop on the secondary circuit. At the time he tweeted the following, he was first alternate: "Heart surgery on Thursday and getting on an airplane right now for Dallas. Medical technology is amazing."

Tiger Woods' recovery progressing as expected

In an update at ESPN.com, Tiger Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, shared that the world's top-ranked golfer is recovering as planned following surgery to heal a pinched nerve in his back on March 31.

"[Woods is] doing a little bit more and more each day," Steinberg said. "He's getting to the point of light chipping and putting and the doctors and trainers seem to be pleased with where he is. He is on schedule but we don't know what that schedule means. I don't know when he intends to be playing competitively. But I expect it to be this summer. I know that's a wide range, but as the weeks go by we'll be able to pinpoint an approximate time. It's still a little early for that. Nothing that has gone on from the day of the surgery until today gives me any pause to amend what I said then. I know that's broad and vague but we can't pinpoint a specific time until we're further along. ... This is about the next 10 or 15 years, this is not about the next 10 weeks. This is not about targeting any specific tournament. If he needs to wait one or two or three extra weeks he will. He's thinking about this very, very long term."

Koepka co-medals at the Zurich four-spotter

At 8-under-par 34-30=64, Brooks Koepka shared medalist honors at today's open qualifier for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Koepka birdied half of the holes at LaTour Golf Club in Mathews, La., to offset a lone bogey at the par-3 eighth hole. Having exhausted all of his seven allotted sponsor exemptions, he's relegated to four-spotting to pursue Special Temporary Membership for which he's only seven non-member FedExCup points shy. To fulfill the objective, he needs to finish no worse than solo 64th at TPC Louisiana. David S. Bradshaw also co-medaled today with a bogey-free, 8-under 33-31=64 that included an eagle-3 and six birdies. Dustin Morris finished alone in third at 7-under 32-33=65 with an eagle-3, six birdies and a bogey. The final berth into the tournament proper went to Garrett Osborn, who survived a four-way playoff. He completed regulation in 6-under 32-34=66 with an eagle-3, five birdies and one bogey. The field at TPC Louisiana is now complete at 156.

Closing hole-out yields Kuchar Heritage title

Matt Kuchar splashed in from the greenside bunker on the 72nd hole to secure a one-stroke victory at the RBC Heritage.

At last! After three consecutive close calls, Kuchar finally got his. He was nearly perfect on the front nine with six birdies for a 6-under 30 before coming in at 34 on the back and post a 64. He was bogey-free and flushed his tee ball to 51 inches at the par-3 17th, but promptly three-jacked for bogey. It seemed to be just another chapter of disappointments, especially when he landed his approach at the last 19 yards short and in the sand. But the golf gods finally acquiesced when his blast landed softly and curled in for a closing birdie and 11-under-par 273. He started the day four strokes in arrears of 54-hole leader Luke Donald, who settled for runner-up honors. While Kuchar would have eventually qualified for the PGA Championship, today's win clinches that berth.

Lee Westwood goes wire-to-wire in Malaysia

Lee Westwood breezed to a seven-stroke victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open.

Westwood posted 18-under-par 65-66-71-68=270 for an outright wire-to-wire triumph over a trio of runners-up in Nicolas Colsaerts, Louis Oosthuizen and Bernd Wiesberger. The Brit missed 17 greens in regulation, but limited the damage to three bogeys and a double. He was bogey-free in the finale at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club. "It’s a golf course that suits my game," Westwood said. "It’s very tight in certain areas. I played well, I putted well, and the short game is good." This is his first victory anywhere since the 2012 Nordea Masters. It also secures a berth in this summer's World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.

Donald the 54-hole leader at the RBC Heritage

Luke Donald blitzed Harbour Town Golf Links for a 5-under-par 35-31=66 in the third round of the RBC Heritage and enjoys a two-stroke lead over John Huh with 18 holes to play.

Donald got things started early with a 23'2" eagle on the par-5 second, but alternated two birdies with three bogeys on the rest of his front nine. He was blemish-free on the back, gathering four more birdies on his way to the clubhouse. In addition to the eagle, he had three other birdie conversions from between 14 and 20 feet. His irons were on point, landing 14 GIR for the second consecutive round, and he is tied for second with 72.2 percent for the week. The Englishman has experienced no shortage of success in his recent visits to Hilton Head Island. He's cracked the top three in four of his last five attempts to slip on the tartan jacket, but has yet to emerge with a win.

Na headlines notables to miss cut at the RBC

Kevin Na completed 36 holes of the RBC Heritage in 6-over-par 72-76=148 and missed the cut by two strokes.

After trading two birdies with three bogeys in the lid-lifter, Na went 0-for-11 in par-breaker chances in the second round, which he concluded on Friday. It's just the second MC in his last nine starts, a run that has included three top 10s and another three top 25s. Other notables that failed to survive include: 147--2006 RBC champ Aaron Baddeley; Roberto Castro; Cameron Tringale ... 148--2012 RBC champ Carl Pettersson; 2002 RBC champ Justin Leonard; Hunter Mahan; Marc Leishman; Tom Watson ... 149--1999 RBC champ Glen Day ... 150--five-time RBC champ and all-time earnings leader at the tournament, Davis Love III; Hideki Matsuyama ... 153--1984 RBC champ Nick Faldo ... 154--Russell Henley; Will MacKenzie. The third round began at 12:20 p.m. ET with golfers grouped in threesome off split tees. The leaders are scheduled to go off the first tee at 2:20 p.m.

Ben Martin third to lead RBC at the midpoint

Ben Martin backed up his opening 69 at the RBC Heritage with a 3-under-par 33-35=68 in his second round to post 5-under 137, good for a share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Martin was alone atop the leaderboard and bogey-free in the round until incurring a bogey-5 at the ninth hole, his last of the loop. Prior to it, he rolled in four birdies, including conversions of 14'1" and 12'8" at the 13th and fifth holes, respectively. The PGA TOUR sophomore -- his rookie season was 2011 -- is a Clemson product, and the RBC is the only TOUR event in South Carolina, so there's some synergy in play as he chased his first victory this weekend.

Bogey-free Furyk grabs share of 36-hole lead

Jim Furyk crafted a bogey-free, 5-under-par 33-33=66 in his second round of the RBC Heritage to post 5-under 137 at the midpoint, good for a piece of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Furyk split 11 (of 14) fairways and went 5-for-5 in scrambling during his two-day loop of Harbour Town. He found five birdies, including a 15-yard hole-out from the rough at the par-4 third. His longest of the conventional variety measured 16'8" at 11 and 10'5" at 9. He made only one bogey in the lid-lifter.

Hurley III bogey-free; 8-for-8 in scrambling

Billy Hurley III twirled a bogey-free, 2-under-par 34-35=69 in his second round of the RBC Heritage to post 3-under 139, two strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

He hit only 10 greens in regulation and circled two birdies, but today's scoring average is likely going to showcase this as one of the rounds of the day. Toss in the fact that this is his first appearance at Harbour Town and he entered on an 0-for-3 skid. Hurley III opened par-birdie-par-birdie, the last conversion measuring 14'6" at the par-3 fourth hole.

Bill Haas (wrist) WDs from RBC before 2nd rd.

Bill Haas withdrew from the RBC Heritage prior to his second round, citing a wrist injury.

Haas was scheduled to go off the first tee at 12:50 p.m. ET. He opened with a 1-over-par 36-36=72. It's the first time in 251 PGA TOUR starts that he's withdrawn during a tournament and it ends his consecutive cuts made streak at 14. He co-led the Shell Houston Open after 18 holes and sat alone at the top of the Masters after one round, but went on to finish T37 and T20, respectively. If an explanation is released for today's decision, we will relay it to you.
