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.

Weekley WDs from Franklin Templeton Shootout

Boo Weekley has withdrawn from this week's Franklin Templeton Shootout due to the deaths of two relatives.

Weekley's grandfather and uncle died within the last 10 days. He has rested since capping off a strong start to the 2013-14 season with a T22 at The McGladrey Classic and sits 34th in FedExCup points. His next scheduled start would be the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on Jan. 3-6. Freddie Jacobson will serve as his replacement at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla., come Friday.

Improbable par saves ZJ; winner at Sherwood

Zach Johnson survived a sudden-death playoff with Tiger Woods to win the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge.

The final edition of the Woods-hosted event at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., may be the most memorable. After Woods held a two-stroke margin over ZJ after both 36 and 54 holes, Johnson carded a 4-under-par 35-33=68 to Woods' 2-under 34-36=70 in the finale. Tied atop the leaderboard on the par-4 72nd hole, Johnson split the fairway while Woods left himself with a challenging lie left of the short grass. Woods then found a greenside bunker, but Johnson rinsed his approach. Now laying three in the drop zone, ZJ jarred his pitch for par to force Woods to get up and in with a nifty sandie and force free golf. (They completed regulation in 13-under 275.) Replaying the hole, Johnson two-putted for par while Woods attempted an identical par save from the same bunker. Alas, his three-footer to extend lipped out on the left side of the hole to give ZJ his first title here after serving as the runner-up in 2007 and 2011. He'll defend in 2014 at Isleworth Country Club in Florida.

Matsuyama crushes JGTO; set for WGC-Cadillac

For finishing atop the Order of Merit on the Japan Golf Tour, Hideki Matsuyama is now exempt into the 2014 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

He would have qualified via the Official World Golf Ranking anyway, but his eligibility is already official thanks to a dominating season on his home circuit. Matsuyama banked over 201 million yen in 18 events. That was in excess than 75 million yen more than Hyung-sung Kim in second place. (The top two in earnings are awarded exemptions into the WGC-Cadillac.) To put Matsuyama's margin into perspective, it alone would have ranked 10th on the Order of Merit. The 21-year-old will be making his debut at TPC Blue Monster at Doral, although he'll be 22 years young by the time the tournament rolls around in March. The phenom will celebrate his birthday on Feb. 25.

With season complete, Sterne heads to surgery

In his last start before scheduled surgery, Richard Sterne shared 14th place at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in Sun City, South Africa.

Sterne didn't close like a man ready to have a torn labrum in his hip repaired in the coming days. He played his last 11 holes in bogey-free, 8-under-par with an eagle and six birdies. The spurt allowed him to climb into red numbers for the week at 5-under 283. As we relayed nearly a month ago, he's expected to miss three months of action. Brandt Snedeker is the poster boy for having surgery on his hips and not missing a beat upon return, so don't immediately rule out a quick return from the 32-year-old South African.

Back-nine eagles boost Björn at the Nedbank

Thomas Bjorn emerged with a two-stroke victory at the Nedbank Golf Challenge for his 15th career title on the European Tour.

In its debut as a co-sanctioned event on the Euro Tour, the field at Gary Player Country Club in Sun City, South Africa, expanded by 18 to 30 golfers. Jamie Donaldson held a three-stroke margin entering today's finale, but managed but a 2-under-par 35-35=70 to post 18-under 270. His playing partner, Björn, roared in with a 7-under 33-32=65 that featured eagles at the par-5 10th and 14th holes. A bogey-5 at the last was academic. In the threesome ahead, Sergio Garcia was painting his own masterpiece in the form of a 7-under 30-35=65 with eight birdies. However, he'd settle for co-runner-up honors with Donaldson. "This is right up there with the best days of my career," said Bjorn. "Winning here in the way that I did against a field of this quality is up there. I knew I had to shoot something low and then see what Jamie was doing. It turned out that it was Sergio and every time I saw a leaderboard he was making birdies. I am very proud of the way I played today."

Jiménez, 49, breaks own European Tour record

With a birdie on the first hole of a three-way playoff, Miguel Angel Jiménez successfully defended his title at the Hong Kong Open in Fanling.

It was just over 12 months ago that the Spaniard established the European Tour record for oldest champion in any event. Just under two months shy of his 49th birthday at the time, Jiménez recorded a one-stroke victory at Hong Kong Golf Club. That he emerged again today really isn't a surprise despite his age as it marks the fourth time he's claimed victory on this course, also hoisting the trophy in 2005 and 2008. "I love this place, I love this golf course, I love the tournament," he said. "I played so well and I holed some putts, and the one in the play-off gave me victory." Stuart Manley of Wales and Thailand's Prom Meesawat also completed regulation in 12-under 268. Jiménez buried an 18-footer for the title while both of his opponents failed to reach the green in regulation and couldn't hole out to extend. This is MAJ's 20th Euro Tour victory and first since last year's edition. He's likely to climb inside the top 40 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

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.
