World No. 132 Kevin Streelman carded a 3-under-par 34-34=68 in the final round of the RBC Heritage for a four-day total of 9-under 275, up 12 places on the leaderboard to T8 with play still in progress. UPDATE: With play completed, Streelman finished T7.
After opening with 70-70-67, the Duke alum began T20 on 6-under, two shy of the overnight top 10. He landed 10 (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation, gaining 1.332 strokes off-the-tee and 1.328 around-the-green, but losing 0.947 on approach. The Illinois native had one blemish, a double bogey-5 at hole 4 (tee ball in the water), offset by five birdies at 2, 5, 6, 9 and 15 (from 16'6"). He recorded 1.615 putts per GIR and 1.651 SG: Putting with 27 total putts. This is the 39-year-old's third top 25 in eight RBC's and second top 10 (T3/2013). The Scottsdale resident nets his sixth top 25 of the season in 14 starts and third top 10, first since a season-best 6th at Pebble Beach five starts ago. Apr 15 - 1:45 PM
Kevin Streelman returns from a two-year break from the RBC Heritage, returning this week for another crack at Harbour Town Golf Links.
The Duke Blue Devil missed the cut in his first two tries at this event but he's 5-for-5 since that introduction. That includes a T17 in 2012 and a T3 in 2013. More recently, he has missed just one cut since the start of the season (12-for-13). On the season he ranks 14th in driving accuracy but just 97th in driving distance. That may matter on most weeks, but Harbour Town Golf Links favors accuracy over distance. Given his strong season play, Streelman should be one to watch in all fantasy formats this week.

First-round co-leader and World No. 167 Kevin Streelman twirled a bogey-free 4-under-par 32-36=68 in the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish up on 13-under 274, up three spots to season-best solo 6th, and paired with amateur partner Larry Fitzgerald, won the Pro-Am portion by seven shots (41-under).
The 39-year-old, who drops to 0-for-3 when leading/co-leading after 18 holes, recorded just a second blemish-free lap of the day (Scott Stallings), led the field with three bogey-free rounds, and as a result was No. 1 in total bogeys with just two. He improves to 7-for-11 at the AT&T with four top 25s, three straight, and second top 10 (T9/2012). After opening with 65-69-72, the Duke alum began T9, five short of co-leaders Dustin Johnson and eventual champ Ted Potter, Jr. He landed nine (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation, gaining 1.992 strokes approaching-the-green and 2.730 tee-to-green. The Illinois native carded four birdies at holes 2, 5, 8 and 9 (from 18'8"), posting 1.857 putts per GIR and 1.323 SG: Putting with 29 total putts. He improves to 9-for-9 on the season with five top 25s and two top 10s (T10, Sanderson Farms). Feb 11 - 7:51 PM
Playing Pebble Beach Golf Links, first-round leader and World No. 167 Kevin Streelman backed up with an even-par 35-37=72 in the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, dropping three places on the live leaderboard to T8 on 9-under 206, five shy of 54-hole co-clubhouse leaders Ted Potter, Jr. and Dustin Johnson.

He hit nine (of 14) fairways and mustered 10 greens in regulation, posting a commercial 1.900 putts per GIR with 29 total putts. The Duke alum went 43 holes bogey-free before drops at the par-4 eighth and one more at the par-3 12th, both failed sand saves. Feb 10 - 6:31 PM
