Billy Hurley III enters the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic 146th on the money list, needing a push to avoid a trip to Q School.
The Naval Academy product has only made eight (of 26) cuts this year, but has finished inside the top 10 in two of those. A tie for fourth at AT&T National and a tie for eighth at the John Deere Classic have him positioned to at least have some status on the 2013 PGA TOUR should he hang inside the top 150. After having missed his five previous cuts, the rookie heads to Disney off a T57 at The McGladrey Classic. Mon, Nov 5, 2012 08:22:00 PM

Billy Hurley III posted a 4-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of The McGladrey Classic, finishing two strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

The PGA TOUR rookie has missed his last five cuts, but he's 144th on the money list and in good position to retain at least conditional status for 2013. At the time he signed his card at Seaside today, he led the field with seven birdies, four of which disappearing from beyond 10 feet, the longest 17'4" at the 16th hole. He also swallowed three bogeys, all of which as a result of whiffed par save from 10 feet and in.

Billy Hurley III is in the field for the Frys.com Open in hopes of improving his 139th ranking on the PGA TOUR money list.

The rookie has only seen the weekend seven times, but he's made the most of his opportunities with two top 10s. That includes a T4 at the AT&T National and a T8 at the John Deere Classic. Since the Jonn Deere, he has missed his last four cuts. Step number one for Hurley III is to finish inside the top 150 to secure some status for 2013, but the real goal is to be inside the coveted top 125 for full exemptions into full-field events.

Billy Hurley III nabbed his second top-10 finish of 2012 when he turned in a 1-under-par 34-36=70 in the final round of the John Deere Classic to end the week at 14-under 270 and in a tie for eighth.

Hurley III circled four birdies and squared three bogeys in his tour of TPC Deere Run. The ball-striking was excellent, splitting 12 (of 14) fairways and landing 15 GIR, but the 32 putts required to complete the round held him back. He is not scheduled to compete in the True South Classic.

Billy Hurley III posted a third-round 7-under-par 31-33=64 at the John Deere Classic to jump into contention at 13-under 200.

Just two weeks removed from his career-best T4 at AT&T National, Hurley III circled seven birdies without a blemish. In all, he landed 13 GIR and needed just 23 putts to the tune of a 1.462 average to navigate TPC Deere Run. He will try to follow in Ted Potter Jr.'s footsteps and become the second rookie to win in as many weeks in Sunday's final round.

Billy Hurley III secured his highest-career finish with a final-round 1-over-par 35-37=72 at the AT&T National.

Hurley III circled three birdies and squared four bogeys en route to his share of fourth place at Congressional Country Club. He had never recorded a top 25 on the PGA TOUR until this week, so his 4-under 280 total will be remembered by the U.S. Naval Academy grad for a long time to come. He now heads to The Old White TPC at The Greenbrier Classic for his next scheduled appearance.

Billy Hurley III signed for a third round of 5-under-par 66, which was the lowest round on Saturday at the AT&T National.

It's too bad the U.S. Naval Academy graduate didn't get to play in front of his friends, but the course was closed on Saturday to spectators due to the heavy storm damage from Friday evening. The round of 66 had six birdies with only one blemish and he moved up 14 spots in the field to an overnight tie for fifth place, which is only two strokes off the lead. It been a very rough season for Hurley, with only five made cuts in 17 prior starts, but that will all be forgotten if he can pull off a victory on Sunday.

Billy Hurley turned in a 2-under-par 32-37=69 for his opening round of the AT&T National, finishing one stroke off the clubhouse lead.

It makes all the sense in the world that a product of the Naval Academy is contending early at the AT&T National what with the focus the tournament maintains on the military. Hurley's game caters to shorter tracks but even though he hit only 10 greens today, he suffered just one bogey, and that was a 6 on his final hole -- No. 9 at Congressional. His most notable of three birdies found the cup from six yards just off the green at the 17th hole.

Billy Hurley III will go for his fifth payday of the season at this week's Memorial.

The Naval Academy grad is making his first appearace at Muirfield Village, and is coming off a string of four missed cuts dating back to New Orleans. He has yet to crack the top 30 in an event. He ranks 188th in both GIR and total driving, so the ball-striking is holding him back.

The second round of the Valero Texas Open was suspended for darkness.

A weather delay of one hour and 50 minutes made it impossible for the 36-hole cut to fall today. Twenty-two golfers did not complete their second round. They will return at 7:30 a.m. CT on Saturday. Billy Hurley III has five holes remaining, most of anyone presuming to complete two rounds. He's right on the cut line at 4-over-par. The weather forecast for the weekend is glorious but the wind will remain a factor on Saturday.

Billy Hurley III shot a 1-under-par 37-34=71 in the opening round of the Valero Texas Open.

Anything under par at TPC San Antonio is impressive, but consider that the rookie hasn't signed for an sub-par score in his previous 10 rounds. It's been that kind of challenging season during which he's cashed in just three of nine starts and hasn't posted a top 45. He showcased his scrambling ability today, getting up and down for pars seven of eight times. He started the round with a par save measuring 17'8" at the first hole. Later, he'd bury birdies of 25'6" and 17'11" at the 11th and 17th holes, respectively.

Billy Hurley III looks to turn a slow start to the 2012 season around at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The Naval Academy graduate is two for seven on the season in cashing checks with his best finish of the year came at the Mayakoba with a tie for 46th. Even though he's a rookie, he's got some experience at Bay Hill off of past sponsor's exemptions. He ranks fifth in total putting, but 179th in GIR at 58.64 percent.
