Hadley wins Web.com tour championship
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) ? Chesson Hadley won the Web.com Tour Championship. John Peterson won a trip back to the TPC Sawgrass to play in a far bigger tournament.
Lee Williams felt like the biggest winner of them all Sunday.
Needing a birdie on the 18th hole to have any chance of a PGA Tour card, Williams rapped a 55-foot birdie putt over the ridge and into the cup for a 69. Andres Gonzalez, playing in the same group, gave him a high-five and then missed a 12-foot birdie putt that would have knocked Williams out of the top 25 from a four-tournament money list that determines tour cards for next season.
The last hope for Gonzalez was for Andrew Loupe to make bogey on the final hole. Loupe ran his birdie attempt 5 feet past the hole, and made it coming back for par to join Peterson, his teammate at LSU, on the PGA Tour next month.
The tournament wrapped up the inaugural Web.com Tour Finals ? four tournaments in which 25 cards were awarded based on the money list from those events.
The tournaments were for the top 75 on the Web.com Tour money list during the regular season, and Nos. 126-200 from the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour. The top 25 from the Web.com regular season were assured their cards.
Howell ends drought
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland ? England's David Howell ended a seven-year victory drought with a playoff win over American Peter Uihlein in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Munoz beats pair by a 1
SAINT-JEAN-DE-LUZ, France ? Spain's Azahara Munoz won the Ladies French Open on Sunday, beating French players Gwladys Nocera and Valentine Derrey by a stroke at Chantaco.
Munoz, the 25-year-old former Arizona State star who helped Europe win the Solheim Cup in August, closed with a 5-under 65 to finish at 14-under 266. She is a two-time winner on the Ladies European Tour and also won the LPGA Tour's 2012 Sybase Match Play Championship.

LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP
FRENCH LICK, Ind. ? Canada's Lorie Kane won the Legends Championship, closing with an even-par 72 for a two-stroke victory over Val Skinner and Laurie Rinker.
