FanHouse 2009 Wyndham Championship

Monday afternoon in downtown New York and while Sergio Garcia may not have time on his hands, he does have his hands on an expensive timepiece.

Less than 24 hours after the final round of the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., provided another reminder that golf seems to be carrying a real mad-on for him, the star-crossed Spaniard is keeping a scheduled sponsor promotional appearance for Omega. In addition to hosting a clinic for youngsters from two New York junior golf associations, Garcia is on hand to donate his "Mission Hills Double Eagle Chronograph Constellation" wristwatch to a public display that includes Michael Phelps' Planet Ocean Chronograph and Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin's Speedmaster Moonwatch.

So when better to ask: Where has the time gone?

FanHouse is fighting the rain at Greensboro's 2009 Wyndham Championship.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Ryan Moore never really looked like a candidate to win the Wyndham Championship. It's not that he's untalented by any means (in fact, nothing could be further from the truth), but a third-round 70 seemed to doom the unsponsored youngster. But he fought back several times late in the afternoon at Greensboro and won his first ever PGA event in five seasons on the Tour.

Only four other players in the top-20 shot above 70 during a third round that saw Sergio Garcia make tremendous leaderboard moves, and Moore was, for most of the day, well behind the leaders. But a scorching 31 on the back nine that featured five consecutive birdies from holes 12 to 16 suddenly vaulted Moore into the lead by himself.

FanHouse is no longer fighting the rain, but still at Greensboro's 2009 Wyndham Championship.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The bad weather has entirely evaporated on a Sunday afternoon at the Wyndham and, in place of the rain, a much-hotter-than-it-feels sunny afternoon has yielded some early low scores from the top of the leaderboard.

Sergio Garcia, after a slow start -- parring the first four holes -- ripped off three straight birdies on five, six and seven before giving a stroke back on nine. He and Bill Haas, who has faded with an even-par day, are easily the crowd favorites thus far, generating the biggest throngs of the 33,000-person, sold-out crowd at Sedgefield.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- There are an impressive number of "hometown favorites" at the Wyndham this year: Davis Love is a semi-local and previous winner; Carl Pettersson is an actual ex-Greensboro resident and last year's winner; and Brandt Snedeker even has his own fans -- literally. There are fans for patrons to purchase that have his face on them.

But the story heading into Saturday afternoon and the 4,000th rain delay* of the tournament is the presence of Sergio Garcia and Fred Couples on the leaderboard, sandwiched between the unknown Chris Riley and the unsponsored Ryan Moore. Couples, now approaching 50 years of age, and Garcia, winless since last year's Players, both have an opportunity to make some noise heading into the FedEx Cup.
