Charlie Beljan will grab a spot in PGA Tour history with his epic victory at the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, having battled a case of acute anxiety that saw him carted from the golf course following a remarkable Friday 64, then recovering to close with a Sunday 69 en route to a two-shot triumph.  But Beljan also managed to save his professional life by jumping from 139th in earnings (and a return trip to Q School) all the way to 63rd – though in the end, the victory made him exempt through 2014 regardless.  Among those who snuck in under the wire, and thus retained a spot on the big stage for 2013, were:

120    David Mathis    $736,765 
121    Harrison Frazar    $730,203 
122    James Driscoll    $687,338 
123    Jeff Maggert    $682,742 
124    Tim Herron    $660,279 
125    Kevin Chappell    $647,510

The 42-year-old Herron jumped from 136th to 14th by shooting 67-69 on the weekend to tie for 9th.  Second-year player Chappell, meanwhile, began the week in 123rd place and after opening 67-69, barely hung on over the weekend with rounds of 72-73, good enough for a tie for 34th.  Beljan and Herron were the ony players who began the week outside the top 125 who successfully played their way in.
