Monday Movers: Ups and Downs From World of Golf

Filed under: Golf Odds and Ends

Each week, FanHouse will look back on the previous week in the golf world to see whose stock is rising and who will likely be heading back to the range. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Monday Movers.

On the Rise

Rocco Mediate -- By winning the Frys.com Open, the 47-year-old became the oldest wire-to-wire winner on the PGA Tour since records were kept in 1970. In a dramatic finish, Mediate holed out from 116 yards for eagle to regain the lead and calmly sunk a four-foot par putt on 18 for the one-stroke win. The hole out was his fourth of the week (one each day), including an ace at No. 3 in the first round. His first win on tour since 2002 guarantees his exempt status for two more seasons.

Graham DeLaet -- The former Boise State standout notched his second top-10 finish in three Fall Series starts at the Frys.com Open. His final round 67 tied for the low score of the day and moved him into a tie for sixth place. More importantly, the Canadian jumped from 122nd to 109th on the money list, guaranteeing him a spot on the PGA Tour in 2011. Just a year ago, DeLaet made only one Nationwide start and spent the season on the Sunshine Tour.
