2011: Finished inside the top 95 of the money list for the fourth consecutive season and had a career-best nine top-25 finishes. Making his 14th start of the season, finished T10 at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial for his first top 10 since the 2010 TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Recorded a second straight top 10 with a T7 at the Memorial Tournament. Missed the cut in his first start at the event in 2009 and finished T33 in 2010. Closed with rounds of 63-66 to finish T6 at the Travelers Championship. It was his second top 10 in four starts at TPC River Highlands (T10 in 2008). Also finished T6 at the McGladrey Classic, with rounds of 66-70-66-68. 2010: Finished T10 in his first start of the season, at the Bob Hope Classic. Finished T3 at the Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular. Tied his top-10 total from 2009. Finished T7 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, as he was one of only five players in the field to post two or more rounds in the 60s. 2009: Racked up two top-10 finishes in 29 starts and earned $1 million as the winner of the inaugural Kodak Challenge, capturing the title by three strokes over three players. Shot 64 on Sunday at the Mayakoba Golf Classic to record his career-best finish, a T3. His previous career-best finish was a T4 at The Barclays in 2008. His best final-round score previously was a 66 at the 2008 Buick Open. Next top-10 finish of the year came with an eighth place at the John Deere Classic on the strength of a final-round, 7-under 64. Won the inaugural Kodak Challenge and its $1 million winner-take-all first prize. The event had a designated hole at 30 events on TOUR over the course of the season. Streelman made birdie on the Kodak Challenge hole, No. 17, at the Children's Miracle Network Classic to finish at a cumulative 17-under par and win the competition by three strokes over Nathan Green, J.J. Henry and Bo Van Pelt. The player with the lowest cumulative score at year's end (with a minimum of 18 holes having had to have been played) won the title. 2008: Rookie recorded four top-10 finishes and finished 35th in the FedExCup Standings. Made 17 of 18 cuts to finish the season. Held a share of the first-round lead with Justin Hicks at the U.S. Open with a 68. Finished T53. A week later at the Travelers Championship, claimed the first top-10 finish of his career with a T10. His second and third rounds of 63-62—125 set a new tournament record for consecutive rounds (36 holes) and were one stroke off the PGA TOUR record for consecutive rounds set by Mark Calcavecchia (64-60) in the 2001 Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. His next top-10 came in August at the Wyndham Championship where a second-round, 6-under 64 helped propel him to a T6 with John Senden and Tim Clark. The next week birdied two of his last three holes to finish T4 at The Barclays, his best finish of his PGA TOUR career in the first event of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. After holding a one-stroke 54-hole lead, birdied the 16th and 17th holes in the final round to move to 7-under par, one off the lead. Barely missed a 16-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to join a playoff. Tournament was played at Ridgewood CC in Paramus, NJ, where his grandparents are buried in a cemetery adjacent to the seventh fairway. Finished T6 at the Children's Miracle Network Classic. 2007: Earned his rookie PGA TOUR card via the PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament in his first trip to the finals with a T14 finish, joining another former Duke player, Joe Ogilvie, on TOUR.
