Current Year PGA TOUR Highlights

Had his first top-five in nearly three years in his first start of the PGA TOUR season when he T5 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic. Stumbled to a second-round, 1-over 72 but had three other rounds in the 60s, including a final-round 66 to T5 in Mexico. His last top-five was a T4 at the 2009 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee.

Riding a wave of momentum from his Mexico finish, took his peaking form to PGA National where he T7 with Rickie Fowler at The Honda Classic. It marked the first time in his career he had posted top-10s in successive weeks. Earlier in the week, joined Fowler and several other TOUR players in a Birdies for the Brave charity fundraiser where they raced remote-control cars.

Making his 380th career PGA TOUR start, finished runner-up by one stroke to Jason Dufner at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. Drained a par putt of 22 feet, 7 inches to finish 10-under 270, but then watched as Dufner in the final group made a 25-foot, 5-inch birdie putt to edge him by a stroke. His first-career runner-up effort was also a career-high third top-10 finish of the season. Was attempting to set the PGA TOUR record for longest time between victories, which would have been a span of 17 years, 9 months, 19 days since his win at the 1994 FedEx St. Jude Classic. The current record is held by Robert Gamez (15 years, 6 months).
