Appleby was the second alternate when the field was released on Friday afternoon. He gained entry following the first two withdrawals this morning. The Aussie has cashed in nine of 13 starts this season but he's yet to log a top 30. As a result, he's 154th in FedExCup points. He's 6-for-11 at Colonial with four top 20s, including a T16 in his most recent trip in 2011. May 20 - 10:55 AM

Stuart Appleby turned in a 3-under-par 37-31=68 for his second round of the RBC Heritage to reach the halfway point in 4-under 138, two strokes off the pace of the threesome in the clubhouse with the 36-hole lead.

Appleby entered the week with five paydays in nine starts, but hasn't posted a top 45 since last fall, so this is relatively foreign territory. All five of his birdies in today's round fell in on his second nine (Harbour Town's front). The most notable of the lot was a zero-putt 11-yarder at the par-4 eighth hole.

Stuart Appleby has been granted a sponsor exemption into the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The Aussie is a regular in this event, having played it 16 times dating back to 1996. He's twice been a runner-up at Bay Hill, but not since 2004. In the last few years Appleby's game has been a shell of what it was almost a decade ago when he last finished second here, so course history is not as relevant here as his current form. That form has him making four of six cuts this year, but unable to find his way inside the top 60.

Stuart Appleby will play the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the sixth time in his lengthy PGA TOUR career.

Appleby has played two events to date, missing a cut at Torrey Pines and sharing 65th at the Humana Challenge. He's cracked the top 50 at Pebble Beach just one time, but it was recently. He tied for 15th in 2011. The Aussie has been hard to get behind the last few years and there appear to be much safer options for gamers to invest in this time around.

Stuart Appleby is scheduled to compete in this week's Talisker Masters on the PGA Tour of Australia, thereby forfeiting a spot in the second stage of Q School on the PGA TOUR.

Appleby finished 162nd on the money list in the U.S. In lieu of Past Champion status, which is what he would accept by taking a pass on Q School, he could burn a one-time exemption for ranking inside the top 50 in all-time earnings at the conclusion of this season. He's 19th, and would enjoy the flexibility to set his schedule. The Aussie exhausted a one-time top-25 career earnings exemption for the 2010 season, and then won The Greenbrier Classic with a 59 in the final round. He finished 129th in earnings in 2011. Appleby is just 41 years of age.

Stuart Appleby is set to tackle the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club in The McGladrey Classic.

The Aussie enters the week 166th on the money list, but does have a career money exemption in his back pocket should he fail to crack the top 125. He used his first career exemption in 2010, parlaying that into a win at The Greenbrier Classic later that season. This is his first trip to Sea Island, so we have no history from which to judge how the course fits his game.

Stuart Appleby crafted a 5-under-par 34-31=65 in his opening round of the RBC Canadian Open, finishing with a share of the clubhouse lead.

The Aussie was the third to reach the clubhouse atop the leaderboard. He hit 15 greens and circled six birdies, including conversions from 12'4", 12'1" and 16'7" at the 14th, 17th and ninth holes, respectively. He also poured in a par save of 12'9" at the par-3 sixth hole. Appleby has been mildly surging of late, cashing in four of his last five starts, two of which have gone for top 25s.

Stuart Appleby posted a 5-under-par 35-31=66 in his opening round of the John Deere Classic, finishing two strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Appleby flashed some form en route to a T18 at the recent Travelers, his only top 20 of the season. While he closed with a 72 at TPC River Highlands and missed the cut at The Greenbrier Classic, he regained his touch today. The Aussie hit 14 greens at TPC Deere Run and buried seven birdies, three from beyond 10 feet, the longest of which 12'4" at the 18th hole. He also poured in a par save from 13'1" at 11.

Stuart Appleby signed for a 3-under-par 67 in the third round of the Travelers Championship, and he enters the final round at 10-under 200.

The Aussie circle four birdies, with his lone bogey coming at the par-3 fifth. When compared to the field he struggled with his irons, finding just 11 GIR. He will try and nail down his 10th PGA TOUR victory on Sunday, with his most recent coming in 2010 at The Greenbrier Classic.

Stuart Appleby has reached the midpoint of the Travelers Championship in 7-under-par 68-65=133.

The Aussie was the third to the number today. It earned him a brief share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead before Fredrik Jacobson posted 131. Appleby has been a fantasy bust this year, cashing in just five of 13 starts with one top 40, but he's managed to convert 11 birdies thus far in Connecticut. Today's set of seven included rolls of 13'1" and 10'5" at the 12th and 17th holes, respectively.

Stuart Appleby is giving it a go at this week's Wells Fargo Championship in hopes of boosting a season that is below the standards of the nine-time champion.

Appleby's only notched four (of 10) cuts and his T21 at The Honda serves as his only top 40 of the season. He's 162nd in ball-striking, which is putting more pressure on his game than he's been able to handle. His 2010 win at The Greenbrier has kept him fully exempt through the remainder of this season, but he's got some work to do to secure full status for 2013.

Stuart Appleby shot a 1-under-par 36-35=71 at La Quinta Country Club in his opening round of the Humana Challenge.

We had the Aussie in our crosshairs since he had withdrawn from the JBWere Masters a month ago with a back injury. He played well enough today to bury five birdies but also peppered his round with two bogeys and a double. He'll try again tomorrow at PGA West's Nicklaus Private Course.

Stuart Appleby is listed in the published field of next week's Humana Challenge.

We last saw the Aussie withdraw before his second round of the JBWere Masters in mid-December due to a lingering back injury. He endured a dreadful last three-quarters of 2011, falling 100 spots in the world golf ranking to his current position at 169th. Allow him to ease his way back into action before even thinking about taking the plunge.

Stuart Appleby withdrew prior to his second round of the JBWere Masters in Australia, citing back pain.

The Aussie consulted his coach Steve Bann and physical therapist Tina Maio before pulling out about 45 minutes prior to his tee time at 12:54 p.m. "He probably pushed his back and his body a little more than it was ready for," Maio said. Appleby opened with a 1-under-par 70 and sat five strokes off the overnight lead. "To get around like he did yesterday showed just how talented he really is," added Maio, "because he probably shouldn't have put his back through those rigours. He woke up this morning and it was very inflamed and in spasm ... and it just hasn't settled down sufficiently to (be able to) play. ... We were icing up until he made the call. But the anti-imflammatories he took yesterday didn't really give us an accurate indication as to the end of his range. It's pretty badly inflamed ... and just needs time to heal." There is no golf for the final two weeks of December and Appleby isn't eligible for the 2012 lid-lifter at Kapalua.

Stuart Appleby signed for a 1-over-par 36-36=72 following his opening round of the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic Malaysia.

This was the Australian's first start since being forced to withdraw before his second round of The Barclays two months ago with a back injury. He negotiated just one birdie at The Mines today and was one of just eight in the field of 48 that posted a score north of par.
