In the PGA Tour's late-year events, conspicuously being contested minus the stars of the sport, Florida's Gators have been represented by virtual newcomer Tyson Alexander and veteran Camilo Villegas, and Florida State's Seminoles by Daniel Berger, recently returning after sitting out for quite a while with a back injury. 

    In the $7.2 million World Wide Technology Championship that wound up last Sunday in Cabo San Lucas, Tyson shot 71-68-71-69-279, 9 under par, and tied for 45th; he earned $19,864. Villegas missed the cut after taking an opening-round 77, and Berger tied for 20th with 74-66-64-70-274, 14 under, collecting a tidy $84,960. Austin Eckroat won it all and walked away with $1,296,000.    

     The Butterfield Bermuda Championship at the Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda is at the halfway point, and Justin Lower is on top with a pair of 65s, for 12 under par. He leads Robby Shelton and Ryan Moore by two strokes.   

    Tyson overcame a Thursday 73 by tacking on a 6-under 65 for 138, 4 under, and he's tied for 38th. Camilo also rebounded from a first-round 72 with a 3-under 68 and is tied for 60th at 2 under, the cut line. Berger went from 73 to 67 and is in the tie for 60th.
