This week's congratulations

Castello Masters: Congratulations to the Castello Masters Champion, Michael Jonzon. The big Swede fought off a double-bogey at 15, a bogey at 17, and a hard-charging Martin Kaymer, finishing with a long birdie putt at 18 for his first victory since the Portugese Open in 1997.

Nationwide Tour Championship: Matt Every won the Nationwide Tour Championship to secure his PGA Tour card for 2010. Every was a former collegiate star at the University of Florida, who later appeared on Golf Channel’s “Big Break” series. Now he’ll be appearing on GC as a PGA Tour member.

Frys.com Open: Troy Matteson, 131st on the Tour money list going into this week, won the Frys.com Open to secure his card for 2010. Matteson blew a 2-shot lead in regulation, then came back to defeat former collegiate superstars Jamie Lovemark and Rickie Fowler on the second playoff hole. Lovemark had the shot to remember, however, when his second shot on the first playoff hole found the water hazard, then bounced OUT of the water and onto dry land; has anyone ever seen THAT happen before?
