He pulled his putter back in the fading light on the 72nd hole of the Honda Classic, struck the ball and waited for the cheers to rain down.

They never came.

And he had to wait until tomorrow morning to get a shot at redeeming himself.

Courtesy of Weekley's miss on the final hole of regulation, he, Camilo Villegas, Mark Wilson and Jose Coceres -- who all finished at 5-under 275 -- went into a four-man playoff tonight, one that they couldn't finish before darkness fell on PGA National.

''I was shaking,'' Weekley said. ''I ain't going to lie about it. I mean, I was shaking like a leaf. ... I made a good stroke. I just hit it way too hard.''

Play is scheduled to resume at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, with the foursome on the par-4 10th hole.

With a 15-footer on the tournament's 71st hole, the par-3 17th, Weekley took the lead and only needed a par at the last to get that win and the money. He reached the 18th green in three shots, tipping his cap as he walked up to acknowledge the long, loud serenade of ''Boo.''

The gallery made a much different sound moments later, when his putt slid past the left edge.

''You've got to feel for Boo,'' Villegas said. ''But it's golf. Those things happen.''

Each player made par at the par-5 18th, the first playoff hole. Wilson's was spectacular, coming after he drove his tee shot into the mud and scrambling to the green before making a 30-foot putt to keep him in contention.

Wilson, 0-for-110 in tour events, also made a 45-footer to save par at the 16th hole -- which, obviously, kept his hopes afloat.

And Coceres -- who lost a playoff to Fred Funk in Mexico at last week's tour stop, the Mayakoba Golf Classic -- had a birdie try that would have ended the tournament hit the lip and roll away.

''I'm old. I'm 43,'' said Coceres, who is 1-1 in playoffs on tour, and is the only member of the final foursome here to go to extra holes in a tour event. ''I couldn't see.''

Weekley then made a 3-footer to earn his trip to the second playoff hole, and Villegas followed with a tap-in from about 2 feet -- the final shot before play was suspended.

''We had no chance of playing any more holes,'' Villegas said. ''It was real dark.''
