PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Dylan Wu needed extra holes to retain his PGA Tour card for 2026. Wu, a 29-year-old American, two Canadians, a Colombian and an Argentine were the five pros from a field of 176 to survive the 72-hole pressure-cooker that is PGA Tour Qualifying School at Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass and Sawgrass Country Club.

Wu, with his brother Jeremy on the bag, edged Ben Silverman on the first playoff hole with a birdie in his return to No. 18 at Dye's Valley.

"It means a lot to do it together," Wu said. "It means a lot to do it after the year I've had."

Here are the five pros who booked their ticket in the big leagues.

A.J. Ewart

Ewart, 26, played like a Tour-bound player from start to finish, shooting the low score at Sawgrass CC in the first round, making a hole-in-one on the fifth hole at Dye’s Valley on Friday to share the 36-hole lead, and shooting 67 on Saturday in his return to Sawgrass CC. On Sunday, he was stuck in neutral with a bogey at nine but carded four birdies on the back nine to go from on the bubble to medalist of the 2025 PGA Tour Q-School.

After playing this season on PGA Tour Americas, Ewart was making his first start at Final Stage but you’d never know it. He followed a simple philosophy.  “I try to dumb it down. It’s just another tournament, right?” Ewart said of Q-School. “You don’t go to a tournament to finish in the top 50. Just do my preparation and treat it like any other week as hard as that may be.”

Ewart, who won 14 times at Division II Barry University, is a native of Vancouver.  

Marcelo Rozo

The Colombian native pumped his fist as he wrapped up a final-round 69 to finish T-2 at 12-under 268. The 36-year-old Rozo had made 255 career Tour-sanctioned starts but had never held a PGA Tour card. He also was sidelined for a season after undergoing wrist surgery. He shared the 54-hole lead but started slowly on Sunday, making two bogeys on the front nine. He didn't make his first birdie until No. 10 and tacked on two more to earn his card on the PGA Tour.

Alejandro Tosti

The 29-year-old Argentine did it again. He sank a bomb for eagle at the par-5 16th to shoot 3-under 67 and seal the deal of regaining a PGA Tour card for next season. Tosti made his move on Saturday with birdies on five of his first seven holes to surge up the leaderboard. He entered the final day one off the pace for a Tour card at 9-under 201 and T-6. The former Florida Gator earned his Tour card at Q-School last year but missed his last six cuts of the regular season and didn’t play in the fall, dropping to No. 137 in the season-long standings.

Adam Svensson

The 31-year-old Canadian opened his final round Sunday with six straight pars, which didn't bode well for his chances of regaining his PGA Tour card. But he remained patient and reeled off four birdies in a six-hole stretch beginning at No. 7. He tacked on one last birdie at 15 to shoot 4-under 66 and finish 12-under 268 and T-2.

A past champion of the Tour’s RSM Classic, Svensson struggled this season, finishing No. 167 in the season-long standings and without a top-10 finish. But now the fellow Barry University grad, just like the medalist Ewart, is headed back to the Tour for another season.

Dylan Wu

Wu picked a good time to find his game. The 29-year-old from Northwestern University finished 168^th in the season-long standings and counts four missed cuts and a DQ in his last six starts on Tour. But he birdied five of his first eight holes on Sunday and sank a long eagle putt at 16 to shoot 66 and finish T-5 at 11-under 269. He and Ben Silverman returned to 18 for a playoff for all the marbles, and it was Wu who delivered the birdie to seal the deal.

As the senior amateur schedule draws to a close at an iconic South Florida PGA Tour venue, the Midwesterners are off to a great start. After the first round of the Golfweek Tournament of Champions, three of the top five players on the senior division leaderboard hail from Iowa and Missouri.

Sean McQueary from Springfield, Missouri, climbed into a share of the lead on Saturday afternoon at PGA National’s Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with help from the hole-in-one he made on the par-3 seventh. McQueary knocked it in from 200 yards to dramatically reverse the trajectory of his round after having just made a bogey on the previous hole. McQueary added three birdies and a bogey for a 3-under 69, good enough for a share of the lead with Michael Nealy.

McQueary is a past Missouri Senior Amateur champion, having won that title in 2023.

Nealy, who hails from Boca Raton, Florida, competes frequently in Florida State Golf Association events and last month finished first in a Winter Series stableford event.

Gene Elliott of Norwalk, Iowa, is a Hall of Famer in his state and a past champion of the U.S. Senior Amateur. Unsurprisingly, Elliott posted an opening 70 and trails McQueary and Nealy by only a shot.

Brian Lovett of St. Louis and Bryan Hoops of Tempe, Arizona, are tied for fourth after rounds of 1-under 71.

Notably, reigning U.S. Senior Amateur champion Mike McCoy, also of Norwalk, Iowa, is part of a six-way tie for sixth after a round of 1-over 73. Jerry Gunthorpe, who won the Golfweek Senior Desert Showdown last month, is solo 12^th another shot back.

In the Super Senior division, yet another player from the Midwest has the advantage after Round 1. Tim Barry of Kansas City, Missouri, posted a 2-over 74 for a one-shot lead over Philip Ohler of Katonah, New York.

Given the timing of the TOC at the end of the year, the race for Golfweek National Senior Amateur Player of the Year award will wrap up later this month. Notably, Stevie Cannady of Pooler, Georgia, and Richard Kerper of Oldsmar, Florida, are T-3 and fifth, respectively, in the Super Senior division. Those men also rank third (Kerper) and fourth (Cannady) in the Golfweek National Senior Amateur Rankings for Super Seniors.

Peter Van Ingen of Palm Beach, Florida, leads the Legends division after a 3-over 75 but Bobby Lundquist of Sanford, Florida, is close on his heels after a 76.

Bill Engel of St. Augustine, Florida, and Sam Robinson of Jacksonville, Florida, are tied for the lead in the Super Legends division after both opened with 78. Robinson has a narrow lead in the Super Legends points race over John Osborne (who is T-4 two shots back) with Engel being the third man on that points list.

The rain at this week's DP World Tour event has become such an issue that not only have players had to contend with delays, but they've had to rethink the golf course.

The rain at the Royal Johannesburg Club in Johannesburg, South Africa, halted play during the third round of action, forcing the Alfred Dunhill Championship to be decided in just 54 holes.

But also, the water forced the tournament directors to make a decision on the sixth hole, which had become waterlogged. The hole is typically a par 5, but is now playing a 177-yard par 3.

For the remainder of the third round, the 6th hole will play as a par 3 instead of a par 5 and will measure at 177 yards 🎯#DunhillChampspic.twitter.com/JEkxqLX9ue

About half of the players got off the first tee on Saturday before play was halted. Tournament director David Williams said the consistent rain forced the difficult decision.

"It's tough when you have to do this, but we suspended twice this morning, and the course became unplayable again very quickly, particularly the lower lying holes and because it's been raining throughout the day, and there is more on its way, we've taken the decision to suspend the third round. We're going to restart tomorrow at 6:30 (a.m.)," Williams said.

While the field is looking to chase Spain's Eugenio Chacarra, who owns a two-shot lead, Sunday will also be a race against time. Although there's a window that should all the players to get on the course, more inclement weather is due to arrive late Sunday.

"The good thing is now that the players know what's going on. They know the tournament's over 54 holes. They can go back now, they can have a rest, or they can do better practice or whatever they want to do," Williams said. "The idea or the hope is that it should stop raining tonight at around about 7 o'clock and be clear right through to about 12:30 tomorrow. We'll restart the final group tomorrow at around about 20 past seven, and we should hopefully be finishing around about 12:30.

"And around about that time, the weather is going to start to deteriorate again, and the forecast for tomorrow afternoon is rain and thunderstorms, so we're just gonna try and get ourselves a nice 54-hole tournament in."

First Top 20 finish for the Mitsubishi Colt.

23,008 new cars hit Austrian roads in November, a fantastic 20.5% year-on-year improvement. The year-to-date volume is now up 13.1% to 262,602.
