Tomasulo, T50, exhausts his medical extension

In his final start on the PGA TOUR via a medical extension in the reshuffle category, Peter Tomasulo tied for 50th place at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Tomasulo went in the books at 3-over-par 71-73-72-75=291, good for $15,828.75. To earn a promotion to the Major Medical category, he needed no worse than a solo fourth-place finish at Quail Hollow. Therefore, he fell $343,032 short of fulfilling the terms. He also landed $86,809 below the minimum needed to secure conditional status -- a two-way T17 at worst was necessary -- so he has lost his status on the PGA TOUR and will likely play out the remainder of his season on the Web.com Tour.

Donaldson qualifies for STM at WGC-Cadillac

With his share of second place at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, Jamie Donaldson secured eligibility for Special Temporary Membership [STM].

Donaldson bogeyed the 72nd hole before eventual champion Patrick Reed did the same two pairings later, albeit by design. The Welshman, who lost by one with co-runner-up Bubba Watson, earned 258 non-member FedExCup points. That raised his season total to 378, which is exactly 100 more than the threshold to qualify for STM. If he elects to accept, just as Victor Dubuisson did prior to the annual stop at Trump National Doral, Donaldson will be granted unlimited sponsor exemptions, unlimited starts and a spot in the Beyond 150 Reshuffle. He's made four starts and will get into all four majors, THE PLAYERS and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, meaning he won't benefit much unless he wants to play more than the restricted 12 times plus THE PLAYERS. He's a member of the European Tour, so he's essentially facing the same decision as the Frenchman. With his non-member FedExCup points or via non-member earnings ($976,347), Donaldson is a virtual lock to qualify for a PGA TOUR card in 2014-15.

Hadwin holds on in Chile; first Web.com title

Adam Hadwin converted his 54-hole lead in the Chile Classic into his first Web.com Tour victory with a final-round 3-under-par 35-34=69.

It wasn't easy, as he needed four birdies in the final six holes to make the magic happen. Overall, he circled five birdies and squared two bogeys in his final lap around Price of Wales Country Club. His 16-under 272 was one stroke better than Alistair Presnell. Hadwin began the week eighth on the Web.com Tour money list, and has now taken over the top spot. He is virtually assured of finishing the season inside the top 25 and earning a PGA TOUR card.

Patrick Reed becomes youngest winner of a WGC

Patrick Reed held off all challengers with his even-par 34-38=72 in the final round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship to go wire-to-wire (with ties) and claim his second victory of the 2013-14 season.

Reed looked like a man on a mission early, circling three birdies on his first four holes, with a bogey on the par-4 second sandwiched in between. That would be it for his birdies, as he would take the conservative route over his final 14 holes in an attempt to hold on. Late in his round, he decided not to try and drive the reachable par-4 16th, then strategically played the par-4 18th as a three-shot hole knowing he only needed to make a bogey to win. It worked out to perfection, as his 4-under 284 placed him one clear of Jamie Donaldson and Bubba Watson for the third win of his short PGA TOUR career. Entering the week 44th in the Official World Golf Ranking, Reed is quickly moving into the rarefied air of the game's elite. He is the youngest winner of a WGC event at 23 years of age, 26 days younger than Tiger Woods at the Bridgestone Invitational in 1999.

Hadley breaks through at the Puerto Rico Open

Chesson Hadley picked up his first PGA TOUR win at the Puerto Rico Open when he polished off a final-round 5-under-par 33-34=67.

Hadley didn't relinquish control of his 54-hole lead, picking up three birdies in his first five holes before suffering his only bogey at the par-3 sixth. He bounced back with a birdie on the par-4 seventh, and then tacked on birdies at the par-4 17th and par-5 18th just as Danny Lee began to close the gap. The rookie's 21-under 267 resulted in a two-stroke final margin over Lee. Hadley was a two-time winner on the Web.com Tour last season and entered this week as the only PGA TOUR rookie to post two top 10s in 2013-14. Needless to say, this win was essentially fulfilling the promise of his last 12 months. With it, he is exempt into THE PLAYERS and the PGA Championship.

Nick Watney pulls out of Doral with bad back

Nick Watney withdrew from the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship just prior to the start of his final round with an injured back.

Watney was on the driving range preparing for his final lap around Trump National Doral when he made the decision not to give it a go. He was scheduled for a 1:25 p.m. ET tee time. At 2-over-par 218 for the tournament, he was only a shot outside the top 10. Considering his previous best finish this season was a T24 at The Honda Classic last week, one could assume he didn't take this decision lightly. He is not scheduled to compete in the Valspar Championship next week.

Reed in front at Doral; eyes 2nd win of 2014

Patrick Reed broke free from the pack in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship with a 3-under-par 35-34=69 and leads by two strokes at 4-under 212.

Reed waited eight holes before getting to work, corralling an eagle at the par-5 eighth from 40'9" to more than make up for an earlier bogey. He continued his fine play with three birdies to just one bogey on the back nine at Trump National Doral, highlighted by a birdie at the par-4 16th after driving the green. He's already held one 54-hole lead this season, converting it for his second PGA TOUR win at the 2014 Humana Challenge. Should he hoist the hardware on Sunday, it would be the third of his career with all coming since August of 2013.

Tim Clark among MDF casualties in Puerto Rico

Tim Clark suffered through a 3-over-par 38-37=75 in the third round of the Puerto Rico Open and will miss the 54-hole cut.

The MDF cut fell at 2-under 214, with Rod Pampling (215), Brice Garnett (215), Tag Ridings (215), Paul Stankowski (215), Chris Smith (215), Jose Coceres (216), Clark (217), Lee Janzen (217) and Chris DiMarco (217) failing to earn Sunday tee times. There will be 71 players competing in the final round.

Hadley leads in Puerto Rico; chases 1st title

Chesson Hadley will sleep on the 54-hole lead at the Puerto Rico Open following a third-round 5-under-par 32-35=67.

Hadley looked like he would run away with the tournament early, circling four birdies on the first six holes at Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico. His last 12 holes produced just one birdie to 11 pars, and he managed to keep his round bogey-free by landing 17 GIR. His 16-under 200 has him one-stroke clear of Danny Lee, and two ahead of Jason Gore and Jonathan Byrd. The rookie will try and close the door on his first PGA TOUR victory in Sunday's finale.

Homa survives PRO cut on number; MDF looming

Max Homa completed 36 holes of the Puerto Rico Open in 1-under-par 73-70=143 to make the cut on the number.

The non-member connected birdies on holes 2-5 at Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico in his second round on what was his inward nine to climb inside the bubble. It's his third payday in six starts this season, five of which via sponsor exemptions. Homa is one of 80 golfers with a tee time in the third round, so a second cut of low 70 and ties will fall after 54 holes. No matter what happens on the weekend, he's already in the field at next week's Valspar Championship via a sponsor exemption, but he could save it with a top 10 in Puerto Rico.

Woods holes longest putt on TOUR since 2011

Tiger Woods navigated Trump National Doral in 1-over-par 38-35=73 in his second round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

As we intimated this morning, Woods' closing sparks with the putter to conclude his opener fueled a birdie-birdie opening on 10 and 11 in the second round. He trailed with five unanswered bogeys before landing his tee ball 91'7" from the hole at the par-3 fourth. With a hearty whack, the world's No. 1 converted for birdie, and then chased it with another (from 41 inches) at the par-4 fifth. The bomb is the longest recorded conversion on a green on the PGA TOUR since Ángel Cabrera dropped in his try from 103'5" on the 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale in the final round of the 2011 WM Phoenix Open. Woods arrived at the halfway point of this week's WGC in 5-over 149, six strokes off the pace of the 36-hole quad-leaders.

Mahan among four atop the WGC at the midpoint

Hunter Mahan rode a bit of a roller coaster en route to a 2-over-par 36-38=74 in his second round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

He split six (of 14) fairways and hit 10 greens in regulation on a treacherous Trump National Doral in challenging wind. Mahan managed to grab a pair of birdies going out, dropping in tries from 23 feet and 12'5" at the 12th and 16th holes, respectively, the second of which pushing him to 1-under on the round. He also rolled in a 61-inch eagle putt at the par-5 eighth, but reached 4-over just before that conversion thanks to three bogeys and a triple at the par-4 fourth where he found water off the tee. Nevertheless, he signed his card as the last of four to share the 36-hole lead at 1-under 143.
