I had heard that too, but Stafford's website shows Tommy finishing third, as does their press release. :confused:

They usually make the results official on Tuesday, if I can remember correctly. So that's when there'll be a little press release stating so.

Thanks MandyB, you are correct.
They will send out a corrected finish with penalties, if there are any, from the Friday before.

Apparently it'll be up on the site quicker than I had expected it to be. Look for the news to come up on Monday.

(I either had my days mixed up, or I just don't pay attention as often as I think I do.)
