Day four report  

Kyle Stanley ended a five-year winless run on the PGA Tour with a play-off victory over Charles Howell III at the Quicken Loans National.  

The pair began the day four shots back but carded matching 66s at TPC Potomac to get to seven under and take the contest to extra holes, where Stanley prevailed with a par at the first extra hole. 

A birdie-filled 65 lifted Rickie Fowler in to a share of third spot with Scotland's Martin Laird, with overnight leader David Lingmerth one of eight players a further stroke back on four under.  

Lingmerth lost ground with two bogeys over his first five holes, as Daniel Summerhays briefly edged ahead but then double-bogeyed the fourth. 

Curtis Luck also temporarily topped the leaderboard after three birdies in a four-hole stretch, with Martin Laird posting a front-nine 32 and Sung Kang picking up shots at the seventh and ninth to make it a four-way tie.  

Fowler surged in to contention with a run of four straight gains around the turn and cancelled out a three-putt bogey at the 11th with back-to-back birdies, only to double-bogey the 14th after finding water off the tee. 

Four birdies in a six-hole stretch from the fifth lifted Stanley in to a share of the lead, as Howell made tap-in gain at the 10th and drained a 30-foot eagle at the 14th to get to seven under.  

Stanley made a two-putt birdie on the same driveable par-four to move alongside Howell, who was an inch away from holing a 20-footer for victory at the final hole. 

Victory gave Stanley one of four qualification spots for The Open, available to those inside the top 12 and not already exempt, with Howell III, Laird and Kang also securing a spot for Royal Birkdale.

Day three report

David Lingmerth maintained his lead at the Quicken Loans National but endured a day to forget after a three over par 73 in the penultimate round at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.

The Swede, chasing a second victory at the Maryland venue after winning an event on the developmental Web.com Tour five years ago, only registered two birdies while three bogeys and a double bogey dropped him back to seven under overall.

That gives him a one-shot leading heading into the final 18 holes over Daniel Summerhays, whose fellow American Spencer Levin is a further shot back.

Lingmerth told the PGA Tour's official website: "I had to fight hard but I'm happy with where I'm sitting, I still have a good chance. It was a tough day from start to finish but I think an experience like this can help me."

Lingmerth, whose only previous win on the PGA Tour came in the Memorial Tournament two years ago, had recorded back-to-back 65s on a course that holds happy memories for him.

He was in trouble from the off on Saturday after finding bunkers with his first two shots for a bogey on the first although he was back to 10 under following a fine approach to within four feet on the next hole.

The 29-year-old ran into real difficulty on the par-four fourth when a wayward tee shot into the water led to him running up a double bogey six before a thunderstorm which softened the greens caused a 90-minute delay.

He dropped another shot after the turn due to more loose play off the tee which left him in a share of the lead although he was out in front again moments later when Summerhays bogeyed the 11th.

While Lingmerth was unable to gain any more ground - after a birdie on the 14th was cancelled out by a bogey on the 17th - Summerhays was unable to take advantage after carding a level-par 70.

Levin catapulted himself into contention on the back of a 65 to move two shots behind the leader, while Australian pair Curtis Luck and Geoff Ogilvy and South Korea's Sung Kang are on four under.

Day two report

David Lingmerth carded his second successive five under par 65 to take a two-shot lead into the halfway point of the Quicken Loans National at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm

The Maryland venue holds happy memories for the Swede, who won an event on the developmental Web.com Tour five years ago, and he is in firm contention to claim his second title here and on the PGA Tour.

Lingmerth, whose only win on the PGA Tour came two years ago at the Memorial Tournament, regularly found the fairway while his impressive putting helped him make five birdies in a blemish-free second round.

Lingmerth told the PGA Tour's official website: "Any time you come back to a course where you have great memories, it's always going to help. It was a good feeling to show back up.

"I do think it's a course that is visually straightforward, it's easy to pick good targets. Of course I probably have a bit of an advantage having played and won here but it's just a great golf course, so I'm happy to be here.

"I've been in pretty good control of my game so far but there's still 36 holes to go, so I'm looking forward to the weekend. Everything's feeling really good and I'm pleased with where I'm at."

Putts from 15 and 25 feet gave Lingmerth birdies at the second and third while he picked up a third shot in four holes by sinking an 18-footer on the fifth.

An excellent up and down from a greenside bunker gave him his fourth birdie of the day and he ended his round in style as a fine approach on the last gave him a regulation putt that lifted him to 10 under overall.

Geoff Ogilvy is the nearest challenger after matching Lingmerth's score on Friday. The Australian, the 2006 US Open champion and former world number three, had six birdies and one bogey on the 15th - his sixth hole.

America's Daniel Summerhays is two shots further back on six under after a 68, while India's Arjun Atwal and Sung Kang of South Korea are snapping at his heels, five shots behind Lingmerth.

Day one report

David Lingmerth is finding the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm to his liking as a flying start lifted him into a slender lead after the opening round of the Quicken Loans National.

The Swede registered four birdies in his opening six holes - although he dropped a shot on his second - en route to a five under par 65 that has given him a one-shot advantage over six players.

The Maryland venue was the scene of Lingmerth's win in an event on the developmental Web.com Tour five years ago and he admitted it is a course that holds happy memories.

He told the PGA Tour's website: "Coming here it's going to give me great feelings knowing I have won here. Design-wise the course is the exact same, it seems to suit my eye really well.

"It's playing maybe a little bit different but look-wise it's the exact same and I seem to like it."

Lingmerth only missed a couple of fairways all day and some fine putting on the greens lifted him to the top of the leaderboard.

Starting on the back nine, he drove out of a bunker to within 12 feet on the opening hole before holding his nerve to sink the putt but immediately dropped back to level par after three-putting the par-four 11th.

But he then followed up a par with three successive birdies - the last of which featured a putt from near 20 feet on the 15th - while he reached the turn in 31 after a fabulous approach on the 18th left him with a simple tap-in.

His putter was proving red hot as he holed from 25 and 20 feet respectively on the first and fourth but his round ended on a sour note after he left himself with too much to do following a wayward tee-shot on the ninth.

American trio Troy Merritt, Johnson Wagner and Daniel Summerhays, plus Canada's Nick Taylor, Sung Kang of South Korea and Australia's Marc Leishman are all snapping at Lingmerth's heels after carding four under par rounds.

Scotland's Martin Laird is a shot further back while world number nine Rickie Fowler made four birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey all on the back nine in a level-par round of 70.
