MORE TOP 100 PLAYERS: BACK to Player No. 42 | Top 100 archive

Steve Marino did everything but win last year, so he's got to be excited about what the 2009 campaign might hold. The University of Virginia product topped the $2 million for the first time in his brief career last year, thanks to six top-10s. Marino's best career finish came at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun, where he shot 10 under on the weekend and didn't make a bogey. Marino also closed the season with a tie for third after taking a share of the lead into the final round of the Children's Miracle Network Classic. He was solid in nearly every statistical category -- ranking ninth in birdies, 20th in scoring average, 24th in total driving, 15th in greens in regulation and 20th all-around. -- Helen Ross
The chart above represents this player's rank on TOUR in 2008 for five skill ratings categories. Each category is based on an aggregate score which is calculated from key statistics for that skill area.
