Video: Fowler's fantastic finish at Quail Hollow

Not so long ago we were led to believe that a tournament loses much of its juice the moment Tiger Woods heads home for the weekend. Let the Wells Fargo Championship remind us  that theory no longer makes sense. Already a respected tournament on a fantastic layout, this year's edition gave way to one of the most memorable finishes of the season, with Rickie Fowler outdueling Rory McIlroy (and D.A. Points) for his first career PGA Tour win. See for yourself in the highlights below:

Is there a lost colony beneath the Palmer-designed Scotch Hall Preserve?

In a story you might expect to see on the History or Discovery Channel, researchers have found evidence the a lost English colony from the 16th century may sit beneath the Arnold Palmer-designed golf course at Scotch Hall Preserve. According to a recent story in The Seattle Times, researchers at the British Museum in London, acting at the request of a group of North Carolina historians and archaeologists, have found a symbol hidden on an ancient map that could show where members of the English colony established on Roanoke Island in 1587 settled. The "Virginea Pars" map was created by members of Sir Walter Raleigh's Roanoke Colony expeditions of 1584-1590, which the first attempt to establish an English Colony in the New World, and is said to be "unusually accurate" for its time.(Scotch Hall Preserve golf course.) On the map created by the leader of the 1587 colony expedition, John White, were two small patches, normally used by artists at the time to make alterations to the original. One of the patches was in an area the settlers had explored, and where some historians had theorized was a likely spot for them to have moved. Related: The best courses in North Carolina. When the British Museum officials put the map on a simple light table, which shined through the paper, under one patch was a large symbol that appeared to show the location of a fort, which appears to be at or near what is now the Scotch Hall Preserve. Earlier efforts to match pottery recovered from the area to the correct period have also produced positive results, researchers said. X literally marks the spot. The golf course and residential community just across Albemarle Sound from Edenton is now the focus of researchers' search for the "Cittie of Raleigh," the original colony White had settled. John White left Roanoke Island and headed to England for more supplies but couldn't return again until 1590 because of the war between England and Spain. When he came back, the colony of about 95 settlers was gone. While any excavation projects are not in the near future, the Lost Colony Foundation members said Thursday that they were planning new research to explore the new clue about the Bertie site.

Far from spectacular, Woods salvages start

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- At one point on a sweltering hot North Carolina day, the electronic scoreboards posted a warning: Due to extraordinarily dry conditions extinguishing cigarettes/cigars in pine straw beds may result in fire.The only thing Tiger Woods extinguished in a pine straw bed was his second shot on the ninth at Quail Hollow Club. After driving it into the trees on the right, Woods tried to hit a low punch underneath the limbs of two small trees. It slammed into the pine straw, lost all its speed and tumbled forward a few feet, resulting in a bogey and a front nine of one-over par 37. On a day built for scoring, it wasn't until the par-five 15th that Woods finally got his round into red figures, ultimately finishing one-under and in a tie for 56th. At one under, Woods can't afford too many mistakes Friday if he hopes to play the weekend. Photo by Getty Images."I made too many mistakes on the front nine," said Woods. "I didn't take care of the par fives. I had an easy up and in at eight (a short par four) which I messed up there. Ten, I short-side myself and that's three, four shots right there. Obviously, I can't make those little mistakes like that tomorrow." Related: How Tiger's swing has changed
