Three-time major champion Padraig Harrington seemed certain to join them until a bogey-bogey finish left him one shot shy of a playoff.
Bourdy was joined by a pair of Frenchmen, Romain Wattel and Gary Stal. Also getting in was Matteo Manassero, the 23-year-old Italian who has fallen to No. 887 in the world.
