Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida - On a weekend that was filled with drama at TPC Sawgrass, Tiger Woods

proved that when the dust would clear, the status quo would be restored. After Sergio accused Tiger

of being inconsiderate during Saturday's incomplete third round, it bled into Saturday night, with Tiger

saying he wasn't surprised to hear about Sergio's complaining. After completing their third round early

Sunday, Garcia fanned the flames again by saying it was good for both that they are not paired

together for the final round, "We don't enjoy each others company, you don't have to be a rocket

engineer to figure that out."

In what appeared to be an uneventful first 3 hours of the final round Sunday afternoon (with Tiger

Woods in complete control), it got a little sticky for a short period when Woods rinsed his tee shot

on the 14th while holding a two shot lead. After a double bogey six on the 14th, Woods and Garcia

were knotted at -12. Both players birdied the par 5 sixteenth, to reach -13. Then it all unraveled for

the Spaniard.

On 17, Tiger successfully landed his approach on terra firma and two putted for par. Sergio feeling

confident, took dead aim at the front right hole location, and four seconds later the tournament was

history. The shot was short, the miscue was the 43rd ball of the week to find the water on seventeen,

and moments later he dunked #44 and made quadruple bogey 7. Tiger executed two solid shots on

the 18th, and two putted for par to shoot 70 and finish at -13 for an eventual two stroke victory.

He showed complete command of his game all week, and without needing driver on most holes, he

has refined his shotmaking just in time for Merion.

Garcia came to grips with the final result, "That hole has been good to me for the most part, today

it wasn't, that's the way it is. That's the kind of hole it is, you've got to love it for what it is."

Jeff Maggert, Kevin Streelman and David Lingmerth all finished T2 at -11.

David Lynn (left) congratulates Derek Ernst on his 1st Victory

Charlotte, North Carolina - The big story at the beginning of the week was

the poor turf conditions on the greens at Quail Hollow, this may have caused

a few mysterious last minute injury withdrawls (which allowed for double digit

alternates to gain entry into the Wells Fargo Championship). Fourth Alternate

Derek Ernst was on his way to the Web.com event earlier in the week when the

call arrived, a spot was available at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Ernst and David Lynn started the day four shots behind Phil Mickelson and Nick

Watney. The tee times on Sunday were moved up to the a.m because of incoming

inclement weather, but on this day they would get it in. The leaders battled the

cold wet conditions throughout the final round. Lynn chipped in on the 16th to

move to -8, and a tie at the top (he would go on to shoot 70 and finish at -8).

Ernst birdied the 15th, to get to -7 . . . meanwhile Mickelson couldn't muster up

much, hovering at even par for the day, but still holding a share of the lead at 8

under par.

Ernst stuck his approach from 220 yds on the the 72nd hole to get to -8 and

shoot 70 tie David Lynn. Mickelson missed a crucial par putt on the 17th to fall

back to -7. On the 18th, Lefty faced a must make from the fringe to get in the

playoff, it wouldn't go down, his Sunday 73 was a bitter disappointment. 54 hole

co-leader Nick Watney shot 76 to finish at -4.

In the playoff, Ernst was rock solid. He split the middle with his drive and

knocked the approach to 15 feet. Lynn pulled his drive, and was nearly in the

hazard . . . needing to stand on some rocks in the creek just to have a stance,

he went wayward on his approach into the right greenside bunker. His blast ran

across the green leaving another chip for his par . . . the chip failed to go down,

and all Derek Ernst had to do was two putt for the victory. Nearly holing his 15

foot birdie attempt, he tapped in for his 1st PGA Tour victory in only his eighth

start.

Ernst reflected afterward about what it all meant to him. "The money is money,

it will come and go, but winning and having a job and playing out here for the

next two years, that's what I want to do. I want to play out here, so that is

the best part."

Instead of heading home to Las Vegas this week, he'll now be heading to TPC

Sawgrass for The Players Championship.

Billy Horschel is the 2013 Zurich Classic Champion

Avondale, Louisiana - After knocking on the door all season, the former Gator All-American Billy

Horschel showed the composure of a seasoned veteran, enduring two weather delays, shooting

64 and winning the Zurich Classic for his 1st career PGA Tour victory.

Horschel shot rounds of 67-71-66-64 to set the tournament record at 20 under par and 268 total

on the TPC Louisiana course. Standing on the 72nd green, Horschel faced a lengthy 27 footer that

he knew was for the win. He felt calm "I knew exactly the break on it and everything. I just told

myself, I haven't made one of considerable length this week . . . and I was like, you know, if it's

my time, this putt needs to go in." The putt did indeed drop, and with it all the spoils of victory:

$1.188 million, and 500 Fedex Cup points (which moved him to 3rd in the standings).

D.A Points gave Horschel all he could handle, shooting 65 and finishing a stroke back at -19.

Horschel had made 22 consecutive cuts coming into New Orleans, with 3 consecutive top tens.

Horschel will skip next weeks event at Quail Hollow, and will return for The Players at TPC Sawgrass.
