WEB.COM TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLA.

Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo shot a 3-under 67 to take a two-stroke lead in the Web.com Tour Finals-ending Web.Com Tour Championship. The 23-year-old Grillo had a 13-under 197 total on TPC Sawgrass’ Dye’s Valley Course. The tournament is the fourth and final event in the series for the top 75 players from the Web.com Tour money list, Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup standings and non-members such as Grillo who earned enough money to have placed in the top 200 had they been eligible to receive points. The top 25 players on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list earned PGA Tour cards. They are competing against each other for tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals. The other players are fighting for 25 cards based on series earnings. Grillo is fifth on the money list with $103,667, more than enough to wrap up a PGA Tour card. He lost a playoff in March in the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open. Chez Reavie, the winner of the second event in the series, was second after a 67. The 2008 Canadian Open winner leads the series money list with $215,067.
