Billy Horschel closed out the CIMB Classic with a 5-under-par 35-32=67 to post 8-under 280, good for very early possession of the 72-hole clubhouse lead.
Horschel broke par only in his second round (69) before today's encouraging effort. He hit 13 greens in regulation in the finale and circled an eagle (at the par-5 10th hole) to complement five birdies. While he suffered two bogeys coming in, he may salvage a top 15 after beginning the final round outside the top 25. Oct 27 - 1:19 AM

Billy Horschel turned in a 2-under-par 33-35=68 in the final round of the TOUR Championship, securing his eighth top 10 of 2013 at 6-under 274.

The Florida Gator picked up three birdies to just one bogey on his lap around East Lake Golf Club, despite splitting just six of 14 fairways. His 10 GIR were also the lowest of the week, but his putter picked up over two strokes on the field and were the savior of his round. While he seemed to lose momentum late in the season, it has been an excellent 2013 for the emerging star.

Billy Horschel scratched out an even-par 35-35=70 in the third round of the TOUR Championship.

Horschel erased bogeys at the third and sixth holes with birdies at the fourth and ninth holes, then settled for nine pars on East Lake's back nine. His eight (of 14) fairways were his lowest of the week, and his 12 GIR were nowhere near the 17 he found in the opening round. Still, he finds himself inside the top five with 18 holes to play at 4-under 206.

Billy Horschel chased his opening 66 at the TOUR Championship with an even-par 36-34=70 to post 4-under 136 at the midpoint, one off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

After Thursday's irons clinic, Horschel found only 11 greens in regulation today, but he limited the damage to one bogey and a double. Those were offset by three birdies, the last of which via a hole-out from a greenside bunker at the par-4 17th. At the time he signed his card, he ranked inside the top three for the week in distance off the tee, fairways hit and greens in regulation, but 23rd in strokes gained-putting.

Billy Horschel stole the clubhouse lead with a 4-under-par 34-32=66 in his opening round of the TOUR Championship.

He missed only one green in regulation and bogeyed that hole (No. 7), but Horschel picked off five birdies in what was his first competitive loop of East Lake Golf Club. Included in the set were conversions from 14'9" and 10'4" at the 11th and 14th holes, respectively.

Billy Horschel's breakthrough season comes to an end at this week's TOUR Championship.

Horschel has slumped of late, relative to his early-season form, and finds himself 22nd in the FedExCup standings. A T18 at the BMW Championship last week was preceded by a missed cut at The Barclays and a T70 at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Given this is his first look at East Lake, it's hard to believe he will have the confidence to correct his leaking form.

Billy Horschel cracked the code at Firestone CC in the final round of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational with a 4-under-par 34-32=66.

Horschel was over par in each of his first three round, but a putter that picked him up over three strokes spurred him in the right direction on Sunday. He only managed 42 (of 72) GIR, so the irons aren't nearly as dialed in as what we witnessed in the late Spring and early Summer. Despite finishing the week at 6-over 286, he now heads to the PGA Championship with the good vibes of a solid final round fresh in his mind.

Billy Horschel heads to Glen Abbey for the RBC Canadian Open after missing the cut at Muirfield last week.

Horschel has experienced a bit of a falloff from the lofty standards he established earlier this season. Following a T4 at the U.S. Open, he tied for 61st at Congressional then shared 30th at The Old White TPC before his missed cut at The Open Championship. With seven top 10s already on his ledger in 2013, chances are that he's due for another big week soon.

Billy Horschel turned in a 3-under-par 32-36=68 for his opening round of the AT&T National, good for outright possession of the clubhouse lead.

He can do little wrong this year. Horschel took last week off following a share of fourth place at the U.S. Open. He leads the PGA TOUR with seven top 10s, so there's no question that he's comfy as a front-runner. He hit 12 greens in regulation and circled four birdies at Congressional today. He started his round with a 51'4" conversion for birdie at the par-3 10th hole. Two other par breakers dropped in from 11-14 feet. Horschel's lone bogey occurred at the par-4 third where he failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker.

Billy Horschel turned in a 4-over-par 74 in the final round of the U.S. Open, finishing the week safely inside the top 10 at 5-over 285.

Entering the day only two back of the lead and dreaming big, Horschel quickly fell down the leaderboard with three bogeys on his first five holes. He rebounded briefly with a birdie at the difficult par-4 sixth, but gave away bogeys at nine, 11 and 13. The only other birdie dropped at the par-4 12th when he nearly holed his approach. This is his seventh top 10 of the season.

Billy Horschel suffered his share of setbacks as the 36-hole U.S. Open leader, but pulled it together for a 2-over-par 72 in the third round.

Horschel looked shaky on a birdie-free front nine that included three bogeys, but bounced back with birdies on the 11th and 13th holes. He suffered one more bogey on the par-4 14th, but managed to go bogey-free on the final four holes at Merion. Considering those were among the toughest on the course, coming out of the round two behind the lead at 1-over 211 isn't all that bad. He's well within reach of his first major championship in just his second appearance in a major.

Billy Horschel crafted a 3-under-par 67 in his second round of the U.S. Open to post 1-under 139, good for outright possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Horschel hit all 18 greens in regulation in today's lap of Merion Golf Club, but he didn't sign for a bogey-free score due to a bogey-4 at the 13th. Naturally, it's easily the shortest one-shotter on the course. Overall, he's split 21 (of 28) fairways, hit 31 GIR and taken a tidy 66 putts. He's limited the damage to four bogeys while picking off five birdies, only one of which on the two par 5s.

Billy Horschel somehow managed a 3-under-par 32-35=67 in the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic despite a sub-par performance in ball-striking.

Horschel circled five birdies and swallowed two bogeys on TPC Southwind, but amazingly found just six GIR and five (of 14) fairways. As you would expect, that meant he wrangled some birdies from off the green. Three to be exact. This is just his third start since his win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and his 5-under 275 will allow him to better his missed cut at THE PLAYERS and T41 at the Memorial. He'll need to tighten it up if he hopes to contend at Merion later this week in the U.S. Open.

Billy Horschel shot 3-over-par 76-71=147 at THE PLAYERS and will miss the cut.

He's going to have nightmares about the par-4 18th hole. He three-putted from inside 25 feet for double bogey on Thursday, and then knocked two into the water en route to a triple bogey today to miss the cut by three. Otherwise, Horschel submitted a yeoman's effort in his debut at TPC Sawgrass, hitting 25 greens and converting nine birdies. This is his first missed cut in 24 starts. Look for him to try again at next week's HP Byron Nelson Championship, site of his last missed cut.

Billy Horschel blitzed TPC Louisiana for an 8-under-par 32-32=64 and held off D.A. Points to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans by one stroke.

Horschel began the day two behind 54-hole leader Lucas Glover, and was still one behind when the first of two rain delays stalled his round after six holes. Horschel emerged from that delay to circle birdies on his next six holes, walking off the 12th green at 7-under for his round. He suffered his only blemish at the par-5 15th, failing to secure par when his 9'6" attempt slid by the edge. He responded to knock his approach to 4'9" on the 16th for an eighth birdie, and then stepped on the 18th tee one ahead of D.A. Points. Faced with a 26'8" birdie putt for his first PGA TOUR win with Points in close with a birdie bid of his own, Horschel rolled it in the cup with authority to post 20-under 268. With this victory, he earns berths in THE PLAYERS, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the PGA Championship.
