PONTE VEDRA, Fla. -- They played through some rain and a lot of wind ( 30 mph at times) on Sunday in Orlando at the PNC Championship, and it didn't seem to bother the Langers. The Ritz Carlton Golf Club fairways weren't surrendering more than about 1 foot of role to any tee shot, but Bernhard Langer, the 66-year-old ageless wonder, and his son Jason managed to birdie 10 of the first 11 holes, and shot a 13-under-par 59 in a scramble format. They won the tournament for major champions and one other non-professional member of their family by two strokes with a two-day total of 25-under 119.

In Ponte Vedra, however, they never even got started. Overnight rain left both the Dye Valley course and Sawgrass Country Club drenched and unplayable. As a result, not a single shot was hit in the last round of the Final Stage of the PGA Tour/Korn Ferry Q-School. Golf's annual version of a psychological drama, with the players playing, basically, for a year of their lives, is now scheduled to end on Monday.

When it's over, the top five finishers -- plus ties -- will get PGA Tour status for 2024. Everyone else will have at least some status on the Korn Ferry Tour next year. The higher you finish, the better your status.
