Brandt Snedeker matched his opening 76 in his second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and will miss the cut.

At least he left Bay Hill on a high note, with a walk-off 33-footer for birdie at the par-4 ninth hole. Of course, he won't be returning to compete tomorrow. His round unfolded just before he made the turn. Snedeker found water off the tee at the par-3 17th hole for the second straight day; today, however, he settled for a 5 instead of a 6. He then rinsed his approach at the par-4 18th and eventually three-putted for a triple bogey from 21'8". He'll try again at next week's Shell Houston Open.

Tommy Gainey crafted a 5-under-par 32-33=65 in his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial for a piece of the clubhouse lead.

Gainey was the fourth to post 65 today. He landed 14 greens in regulation and completed his round with a strokes gained-putting split just over 3.800. He got there thanks to a series of long-range conversions. In fact, of his six birdies, five measured 14'9" or longer. The highlights of the bunch found the cup from 38'4" (13th hole), 30'4" (second) and 29'10" (seventh). He placed third in last year's Colonial but didn't go this low in any round. And today's aggregate is his lowest in 47 rounds this season. Since he opened 2013 with a T6 at Kapalua, he's just 5-for-16 with no top 30s.

Matt Kuchar carded a 5-under-par 32-33=65 in his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial to earn a share of the clubhouse lead.

Kuchar missed only three greens in regulation today. He offset a bogey-4 at the fourth hole with six birdies, including conversions of 11'1" and 21'3" at the 17th and first holes, respectively. He poised to extend his consecutive cuts made streak, which stood at 16 entering the week.

Matt Every spun a bogey-free, 5-under-par 32-33=65 in his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, good for a share of the early clubhouse lead.

Every went 4-for-4 in scrambling and converted five birdies, including rolls from 20'2", 12 feet and 13'6" at the 15th, 16th and seventh holes, respectively. He overdue for a good week as he arrived in Fort Worth with just one top 25 among nine paydays in 16 starts. He's 112th in FedExCup points.

Daniel Summerhays was the first to post a number at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial with a 5-under-par 34-31=65 in his opening round.

Summerhays went an obscene 9-for-11 in birdie opportunities today. His only conversion outside 10 feet measured 11'11" at the second hole. He gave back strokes with two bogeys and a double, but it's hard to complain about that given his par-breaker split.

Retief Goosen withdrew from this week's BMW PGA Championship on Wednesday due to a lingering injury in his back.

What started as a hopeful year has rapidly devolved into a problem for his fantasy owners. Goosen withdrew during his opening round of THE PLAYERS two weeks ago due to his back. He had surgery to repair an issue last August, and then made an early return to competition in January. Entering this week, he sat 152nd in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Pat Perez withdrew from the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial during his opening round, citing a shoulder strain.

Perez started on the 10th hole and completed seven holes in birdie-free 2-over before calling it quits. He arrived in Fort Worth ranked 66th in FedExCup points. UPDATE: Perez updated his condition on Twitter, writing: "Strained nerve under collarbone. Could be a while. Damn."

Spencer Levin is scheduled to tee it up at the U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on June 3, according to PGATOUR.com.

This is obviously great news. It was just on April 10 that Levin announced in a Google+ Hangout hosted by the PGA TOUR that he'd take the entire season off to recover from thumb surgery. Today's news included a note that he's going to work in starts on the Web.com Tour beginning in late August. These would be considered rehab starts in advance of the 2013-14 season that begins on Oct. 10.

An expansive article at Golf.com reveals that Brandt Snedeker learned recently that he has a rare condition in his ribs referred to as low bone turnover.

In short, Snedeker's ribs don't regenerate at the rate of a healthy 32-year-old. "I had everything tested [at the Mayo Clinic] and they found this one anomaly in my DNA," he said. "What it boils down to is that my ribs are just really brittle compared to the rest of my bones. So I’m on this medication [Forteo] that is supposed to strengthen your bones and keep this stuff from happening." (Forteo is not among the prohibited substances on the PGA TOUR's drug policy.) While he's dealt with four cracked ribs in recent years, Snedeker's latest malady was a strained oblique muscle originally sustained in January before the Humana Challenge. He played through it and capped a ridiculous run with a win at Pebble Beach. Now that he has a lid on this condition, we should expect consistently strong form moving forward. The 2012 FedExCup champ is on a two-week respite before next week's Memorial. He's posted top 10s in two of his last three starts.

D.A. Points has withdrawn from this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

The PGA TOUR's media department reported this. Points has cashed in seven consecutive starts, culminating with a T12 at last week's Byron Nelson, but Colonial has confounded the two-time winner. He's missed the cut in all three appearances and hasn't competed in the tournament since 2010.

Josh Teater completed 36 holes of International Final Qualifying-America in 7-under-par 64-69=133, good for medalist honors and a berth into The Open Championship.

Eight exemptions into the field at Muirfield on July 18-21 were on the line at Gleneagles Golf & Country Club in Dallas today. Teater circled 12 birdies against three bogeys and a double to secure his first start in a major. Camilo Villegas and Johnson Wagner shared runner-up honors at 6-under 68-66=134. Scott Brown (71-64) tied for fourth with Brian Davis (66-69) at 5-under 135. Brown went bogey-free in his second round with two eagles and two birdies; Davis converted nine birdies in his first round, including six in a row at one point. The final three golfers were decided in a four-way playoff. Robert Karlsson (4-under 67-69=136), Bud Cauley (70-66=136) and Luke Guthrie (65-71=136) survived with pars on the first extra hole. Andres Echavarria (67-69=136) bogeyed the playoff hole. The last of the IFQs will be contested in England on June 24.

Louis Oosthuizen has been removed from the published field of this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

His owners feared that this would serve as today's headline. He withdrew prior to his final round of last week's Byron Nelson due to a neck injury. Oosthuizen had planned on teeing it up in four straight culminating with next week's Memorial, so we'll have to remain patient as he deals with his malady.
