Bohn

Wolfe has been out of action since a T51 at the AT&T Byron Nelson three weeks ago and will remain dormant. The PGA TOUR rookie is 5-for-12 this season and currently sits outside of the top 200 in the FedExCup standings. Gamers can keep him off their radar for the foreseeable future as he’s yet to land a top 25 on the big stage.

He’s off to a dreadful start this year, with no top 25s in either of his two paydays in seven starts, but everything came together at Copperhead today. He hit 15 greens and buried six birdies, the longest of which just 12'3" at the second hole. Bohn hasn’t missed a cut in five appearances this event. He’s logged three top 20s.

He’s three for eight in cuts made in 2012 with his best finish being a tie for 30th at the Humana. The two-time TOUR winner has struggled across the board, ranking 173rd in all-around ranking. There is a little reason to be optimistic, as he finished tied for 11th here in 2010.

He’s done zero to earn any headlines this year, but he’s started relatively strong in three consecutive starts now. While hitting just 10 greens at Harbour Town today, he wrangled five birdies including a conversion measuring 28'4" at the 10th hole. He then holed out from a greenside bunker at the 12th for another. Now comes the hard part. He’s yet to shoot a sub-70 number in the second round in all nine of his starts this year. Given the scores, it’s unlikely that many will dip into the 60s both today and perhaps for the remainder of the tournament.

It was the first time since his 2010 Zurich Classic of New Orleans win that he recorded a top-10 finish. He led the field in driving accuracy, splitting 76.8 percent of the TPC Four Season’s fairways for the week. He was also 13th with a 1.702 putting average. He will continue the Texas swing at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial

Last week’s monster performance (solo second, True South) lifted the veteran to 120th in FedExCup points. The $324K payday accounts for over 53 percent of his season’s haul. He got off to a roaring start at Hamilton Golf & Country Club today, pouring in four birdies in a bogey-free front nine capped by a 10'6" conversion at the ninth. He limped in with a birdie-free, 2-over inward side, but had already created the margin for error. Bohn’s most notable hole-out of the round was a par save from 34'9" at the second where he yanked both his drive and approach well left of the targets.

Bohn slipped in on the number, as he did just enough in the regular season to earn a spot in the coveted playoff field. The biggest week of his season was his runner-up finish at the True South Classic. He last made the playoffs in the 2010 season and missed the cut in that year’s edition of The Barclays.

Starting on the first hole, Bohn went 13 holes in bogey-free 3-under to rise atop the early leaderboard. He’d swallowed a trio of bogeys coming in, which is disappointing considering that there are birdies to be made on the home stretch. The veteran has just one top 25 among seven paydays in 15 starts this year -- a T9 at the Byron Nelson accounts for over 59 percent of his earnings -- so he’s the epitome of a sleeper this week.

This is Bohn’s lowest round on the PGA TOUR in over two years (63, first round, 2010 Colonial). He hit 14 greens at Annandale today and needed only 25 putts en route to eight birdies. Four of his attempts disappeared from distances beyond 14 feet, including conversions of 22'7" and 21'3" at the ninth and 16th holes, respectively.
