Only two wins in 2011 came from Nos. 61-70 that were unveiled Sunday on PGATOUR.COM’s Top 100 Players to Watch in 2012. But that’s not to say there weren’t other triumphs. D.A. Points’ win at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was one to remember, a first TOUR win enjoyed alongside funnyman (and winning amateur partner) Bill Murray. Bryce Molder won in the Fall Series with a playoff win at the Frys.com. Bill Lunde enjoyed a season-long title by winning the Kodak Challenge and its coveted $1 million prize. Kyle Stanley showed himself to be a rookie with staying power, finishing 34th in the FedExCup race, while fan favorite Tommy Gainey had another strong season with four third-place finishes.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- David Toms won the first hole and never looked back as he handed Robert Allenby a 7 and 5 defeat.

Toms posted a 3-1 record, winning twice with Hunter Mahan as a partner, as well as picking up his third Singles win in four Presidents Cups. Allenby only won one hole Sunday as he went winless in four matches this week.

The point put the Americans within two of a win at the Presidents Cup. The U.S. leads 16-12.

MELBOURNE, Australia --- Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk gave the Americans their third point of the day with a 4-and-3 win over Retief Goosen and Robert Allenby.

The win made Mickelson, who is the only man to have played in all nine Presidents Cups, the competition’s all-time points leader with 21.

The match turned in the Americans favor on the back nine. The two teams had matched birdies on the first two holes but the Americans lost the third hole with a bogey before squaring it when Mickelson rolled in a 16-footer at the seventh hole.

The International Team went double bogey-bogey on the next two holes to give the Americans a lead they didn’t relinquish. Mickelson then made a 6-footer for birdie at No. 11 and Furyk followed with another from 13 feet at the next to take the 4-up advantage they coaxed home.

“We played together in ‘99 at the Ryder Cup and we played well together,” Mickelson told NBC’s Dottie Petter. “And we felt like we wanted to partner again.”

In recent years, though, Mickelson and Furyk have often been tabbed to bring some of the less experienced players along. This week, though, it wasn’t necessary.

“This year we felt like our young guys wanted to play together and would play well together so it gave Jim and I a chance to do what we’ve wanted to do for years.”

Furyk said he was impressed with the way Mickelson putted on Thursday. The big lefthander has gone back to a conventional length putter and it was golden on Thursday.

“I felt good with an iron in my hand,” Furyk said. “My partner over here, I knew I didn’t have to hit it five feet.”

SELANGOR, Malaysia -- Australia's Robert Allenby shot an 8-under 63 to take a one-stroke lead over Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas after the first round of the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic Malaysia, the second-year event sanctioned by the PGA TOUR and Asian Tour.

Allenby, a Captain’s Pick on the International team for next month’s Presidents Cup in Australia, birdied four of the first six holes and three of the last four in his bogey-free round at The Mines Resort and Golf Club.

"I got away with a nice par on the 18th. I made lots of nice putts and hit the ball really well all day," Allenby said. "I had just one wayward tee shot at the last, but I made a good par to save at the last. Overall, I'm happy with my golf. I've been playing well for a while, but haven't really put the scores on the board."

Vegas birdied the final four holes.

"I had a really good round and hit the ball well," said Vegas, who won on the PGA TOUR earlier this year in his rookie season. "I felt like I hit a lot of good putts as well. Hopefully, I can keep the momentum going for the next three days."

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. –- Bud Cauley’s bid for a top-10 finish and a spot in next week’s Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic took a hit with back-to-back bogeys on holes 13 and 14 at Sea Island. The 21-year-old is now tied for 27th 6 under. Regardless of his finishing position this week, it looks like Cauley’s going to secure a TOUR card for the 2012 season. All he has to do is earn as much money as No. 125 on the money list after next week’s event. His season earnings thus far would rank him No. 114. Should he not qualify for the event at Disney, Cauley has already committed to the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open presented by Planters -- the Nationwide Tour event at TPC Sawgrass near his hometown. Robert Allenby, who was 5 under on his round and 9 under for the week, surrendered three shots with a triple-bogey on the par-3 13th. He earned one back with a birdie on No. 14 to get back to 7 under, tied for 19th. Winless on the TOUR since 2001, the Aussie finished in a tie for third here last year.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Aside from Trevor Immelman’s tournament-record-tying 62 Saturday, there haven’t been many players going low on the Seaside Course the last two days. Round 1 featured 15 rounds of 65 or better but the last two days have seen a combined total of three. That number figures to trend back upward today. Alexandre Rocha is on No. 18 and is already 5 under for the day. With a birdie on No. 11, Robert Allenby has joined him at the 5 under mark. A trio of others -– Bud Cauley, Blake Adams and Heath Slocum – are at 4 under. Slocum, the 2010 champion here, just birdied No. 13 to reach 4 under while Cauley, who is looking to lock up his 2012 TOUR card, has four birdies through 11 holes. Seven others are at 3 under, including St. Simons Island resident Matt Kuchar, who has played just seven holes in his final round. On the leaderboard, Allenby is currently tied for fifth at 9 under. Cauley, Slocum and Kuchar join D.J. Trahan, who is 2 under through 6, at 8 under for the week and tied for 10th.

The four Captain’s Picks for this year’s Presidents Cup were announced Tuesday afternoon.

U.S. Captain Fred Couples selected FedExCup champion Bill Haas to go with his earlier announced pick of Tiger Woods.

International Captain Greg Norman selected two Australians, Robert Allenby and Aaron Baddeley.
