Mike Weir (elbow) is in the field for this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. It's his first tournament since surgery on his right elbow last summer.
Impact:
Weir is playing on a Non-Exempt Medical Extension and has three events to earn $644,854 to retain his tour card. He may play on the European Tour, where he as a full exemption as a former major winner, after Pebble Beach.

Mark Wilson signed for a seven-under 64 Sunday to post his third top 20 this year.
Impact:
Wilson is known for starting the year with his best foot forward, and while he had to go nasty low to secure the top 20, he should have nice momentum and confidence going into his next start.
02.05.12
Dustin Johnson finished in 61st at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Johnson struggled mostly with the driver this week and was punished on TPC Scottsdale's risk-reward layout, making a couple embarrassing double and triple bogeys throughout the week. Johnson has yet to come within sniffing distance of a top 10 so far this year, so wait until there's noticeable progress in his game before entrusting in him.
02.05.12
Phil Mickelson shot a 73 Sunday to finish in 26th at the Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Mickelson was actually on the outskirts of contention going into Sunday but he fell flat on his heels and made some mistakes he knew he couldn't afford to make. Nonetheless, knowing that he was in the mix at one point is an encouraging sign his daughter's health distractions are behind him and good golf is ahead.
02.05.12
Bubba Watson capped his week with a final round 70 to capture his third top-20 in as many starts this year.
Impact:
A little known fact was that Watson was actually leading the field in driving accuracy through three rounds while also being in the top five in driving distance. Sunday, however, was not a great ball-striking day for Watson but he finished solidly on the back nine to get inside the top five. He's playing well so keep an eye on him as he's getting closer and closer to breaking through for that first win in 2012.
02.05.12
Kevin Na posted rounds of 66-73-69-65 to finish fifth at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Other than the painful second round, Na managed to put together three extremely solid rounds this week, recovering very well and circling 20 birdies on the week. Na tends to put himself in heavy contention a handful of times each year, so don't be surprised to see him in the thick of things soon.
02.05.12
Brendan Steele concluding with a sizzling 64 Sunday to claim low round honors and his first top five of the year in Scottsdale.
Impact:
Steele took the bull by the horns and ran off 5 birdies and an eagle to backdoor the top five. He played very clean golf in the latter part of this tournament, carding just two bogeys over the past three days while hitting 75% of his greens. Steele had a breakout year last year and now looks to be primed for a solid sophomore campaign.
02.05.12
D.J. Trahan went 12-under on the weekend (64-66) to finish fourth at the Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Trahan started the week at a snail's pace and made the cut on the number but leaped up the leaderboard Saturday and Sunday, making 15 of his 20 birdies in the last two rounds to secure a nice finish. He was third in strokes gained putting and fifth in putts per round, needing just 23 putts in his third round.
02.05.12
Webb Simpson ended with a 72 Sunday to post his second top 10 in three tournaments this year.
Impact:
Simpson would probably agree that his final round 72 was anything but pretty. In fact, it was just his second round over par this year in 12 total rounds. He found himself in the final group and never gave himself a glimpse of the lead despite the undoing of Spencer Levin. Simpson had self-proclaimed this a poor ball-striking week altogether, but if he can hit it that poorly and still rack up a top 10 then kudos to him and look out for when he is striking it well, because it must just be gold.
02.05.12
Spencer Levin stumbled to a 75 in his final round, giving up a 54-hole lead of six strokes and settled for third in Scottsdale.
Impact:
Levin had made just two bogies in his first 54 holes, and Sunday he ended with four bogeys and a disheartening double on hole 15 to spoil his chances. As painful as it was to watch him fall back to the field, it was not surprising as he had never been in this situation in his young career on tour.
02.05.12
Ben Crane posted a final round 66 to finish runner-up at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Crane was hot out the gates Sunday and had his chances, but playing partner and eventual champion Kyle Stanley kept him at bay the last few holes and Crane never gave himself a putt to get in a playoff. Crane has quietly put together three top tens in four starts this year so don't be afraid to put this guy in your lineup going forward.
02.05.12
Kyle Stanley fired a bogey-free six-under 65 Sunday to claim his first PGA Tour victory in his first appearance at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Oh how sweet it must taste to come back with such resiliency after last week's heart-breaker. Stanley played solidly all week and came up with a clutch up-and-down on the 16th, safely escaped from under a cactus on the 17th, and smoothed in the four-footer for par on 18th with a steely resolve to claim victory. It was only a matter of time before Stanley raised a trophy on the PGA Tour, but just one week after his own undoing is something no one could have foreseen.
02.05.12
Scotland's Paul Lawrie, 15-under, closed with a bogey-free seven-under 65 to win the Qatar Masters over Australian Jason Day (65) and Sweden's Peter Hanson (67) by five shots. USA's John Daly finished fourth at nine-under.
Impact:
43-year old Lawrie, who won here in 1999, moves from 78th to 45th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) thus earning spots in the WGC events and the four majors. This is Lawrie's 12th professional title. USA's Shawn Micheel tied for 25th at four-under; USA's Ben Curtis tied for 47th at two-under.
02.04.12
Chris Kirk withdrew during the suspended second round of the Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Kirk had a one-over 72 in round one that lead into his playing17 holes of round two when darkness cut short the day. Through 17 holes he was two-over with two birdies and four bogeys. He's not listed in the field of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am next week.
02.04.12
Stewart Cink withdrew during the second round of the suspended Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Cink was carrying the baggage of his opening round 12-over 83 which might be a career negative round, but definitely was guaranteeing a missed cut. After the round, Cink said he was embarrassed Through the 15 holes of the second round he bounced back with three birdies and one bogey when darkness choked out the rest of the day. He's not listed in the field of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am next week.
02.04.12
Vijay Singh withdrew after 17 holes of the dark suspended second round of the Phoenix Open.
Impact:
Singh was carrying the anchor of his first round 76 into round two. In the 17 holes he played he was one-under with five birdies, one bogey and a triple bogey. He'll be teeing it up next week at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am where he won with a 16-under score in 2004.
02.04.12
Scotland's Paul Lawrie, eight-under, has a one shot lead over Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts going into the final round of the European Tour's Qatar Masters. The event has been reduced to 54 holes due to very high winds on Friday that cancelled the second round.
Impact:
Veteran Lawrie won here at the second time this event was played in 1999. Later in 1999 he won the British Open at Carnoustie. A win here now would move Lawrie high enough within the OWGR standings to give Lawrie a starting time at the upcoming WGC-Match Play and possibly the Masters. John Daly (73) dropped to a tie for seventh at four-under.
02.03.12
Tommy Gainey withdrew after nine holes of his second round at the Phoenix Open due to illness

02.03.12
Spencer Levin (63) is the leader in the clubhouse at 14-under in the the suspended second round of the Phoenix Open. Harrison Frazar is second at 11-under after completing 15 holes.
Impact:
Again, the frost delayed the start causing later day darkness that forced the suspension of play with 15 players left to complete the round. This will be the sixth consecutive year that the cut has been made on Saturday.
02.03.12
Jeff Overton withdrew from the Phoenix Open after completing 17 holes of his second round.
Impact:
Overton had six bogeys with a lone birdie that came about at the 17th, where he withdrew. His first round 67 had good stats: GIR hitting 13 greens of 18, outstanding putts-per-GIR 1.692, and 28 putts for the round. At this time there is no information about injury.
