SEASON IN REVIEW: Mahan will likely look upon the 2012 season with mixed emotions. The 30-year-old won twice in his first seven starts, but only posted one top-10 finish in his next 15 and lost out on a chance to play in the Ryder Cup. One of those victories came at the Accenture Match Play Championship, where he beat Rory McIlroy in the title match. He also came from two strokes back to win the Shell Houston Open. -- Helen Ross

EAST LAKE HISTORY: This is Mahan’s fifth PGA TOUR start at East Lake. He record there was unremarkable until 2011, when he squared off in a playoff for the title with Bill Haas before losing on the second extra hole.

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at Mahan:
I walked with Hunter most of the week during his Accenture Match Play Championship, and I was at Redstone for his Shell Houston Open victory as well. It’s hard for me to figure out why he hasn't played well this summer. I watched him grinding on the putting green on a Saturday afternoon missing the cut at The Barclays. Mahan’s a hard worker who’s had a good year but a tough summer.
