SEASON IN REVIEW: The Swede, who became an American citizen in January, finished third or better four times in 2012 and had a total of six top-10s. He won the RBC Heritage two weeks after finishing second at the Shell Houston Open. He also tied for third at the PGA Championship, where he held at least a share of the lead after the first two rounds, and opened with a 62 the following week on the way to a tie for fourth at the Wyndham Championship. -- Helen Ross

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at Pettersson:
How can you not like Carl and respect his game? He told me this year, "everyone sees a fat guy and automatically assume he's lazy. I'm a very hard worker when it comes to my golf game." His ball turns over beautifully on the greens coming off his long putter.
