Tommy Gainey snapped a massive cold streak ahead of his trip to the Shell Houston Open.

Gainey had missed his last seven cuts before finally escaping Bay Hill with a T57. Perhaps Redstone will have a stabilizing affect on him this week. He’s made each of his two cuts at this event, with a T30 in 2011 the best. Despite the shaky start, it’s not time to bail on him just yet. The first three months of the season have not traditionally been the sweet spot of his schedule anyway.

Tommy Gainey has kept a full schedule ahead of the Northern Trust Open.

Gainey has always stayed busy from week to week, and despite a win late in 2012 it appears that will not change in 2013. Having played every event on the schedule to date, he has gone from a T6 at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and a T36 at the Sony Open to missing his last four cuts. Still, we've come to expect frequent dry spells and flashes of brilliance from him, so it's safe to say nothing has been a real surprise. He's made both of his cuts at Riviera CC, but has nothing better than a T35 to show.

Tommy Gainey posted a 4-under-par 34-32=66 in his opening round of the Sony Open in Hawaii to finish two strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

Fresh off a solid T6 at Kapalua, Gainey headed west to Oahu with the hopes to better on a career-best T55 (2009) at Waialae in four starts. After a bogey-5 at the second hole, he played blemish-free golf, circling four birdies on the way in. The standout conversion was an 11-yard roll from the fringe at the 17th hole. He also poured in a par save from 11'6" at 16.

Tommy Gainey turned in a steady effort in his first trip to Hyundai Tournament of Champions when he tied for sixth with Ricke Fowler at 8-under-par 211 due in part to his final-round 3-under-par 35-35=70.

It was an impressive outing, following a pattern of success in tournaments that border on the ocean. You may remember that Gainey picked up his first win at the end of 2012 on Sea Island before adding silly-season win at Pebble Beach to wrap up the year. He was under par in each of his three round, and only swallowed three bogeys for the entire week at a clip of one per round. His 90.74 percent GIR led the tournament. He now heads to the Sony Open to try and tackle the tight fairways of Waialae Country Club.

Tommy Gainey will enter the final round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions as the low first-timer at 5-under-par 141 after spinning a 4-under 35-33=69 in the second round.

Gainey would have been even lower, but had to stomach a triple-bogey six on the par-3 eighth hole near the end of his opener. Seemingly still on tilt, he came out and bogeyed the par-3 second to start his afternoon round. That would be it for the blemishes, as he would circle five birdies and 11 pars on his way to the house. He enters Tuesday's finale one hot round away from his second TOUR win.

Tommy Gainey broke through with his first PGA TOUR win at The McGladrey Classic and with it secured a tee time in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

Perhaps no one was sadder to see 2012 come to an end than Gainey, who also picked up a win at the Callaway Pebble Beach Invitational after the close of the PGA TOUR season. Worth noting, each of those wins came on the ocean where wind can be a factor. That is not all that different from what he could face on the Plantation Course.

Tommy Gainey survived an up-and-down round at Disney's Magnolia Golf Course for a 2-under-par 37-33=70, reaching the final round at 10-under 206.

Gainey had thing rolling with two birdies in his first five holes before dropping three strokes in his next two holes. He rebounded to find four birdies in his first five holes on the inward nine, but rinsed his tee shot on the 17th to surrender one last bogey. He would step off the rollercoaster with a par on the 18th hole, and will now rest up for a shot at his second win in as many weeks.

Tommy Gainey is the new clubhouse leader of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic thanks to a 7-under-par 33-32=65 on the Palm Course.

Looks like the two-week respite didn't cool him off. His last competitive round was a PGA TOUR season-low 60 at Seaside on Oct. 21. At Palm today, he hit 13 greens and required only 25 putts, converting an eagle (at the par-5 14th hole) and six birdies. He played the par 5s in bogey-free 4-under. Gainey's lone blemish was a bogey-4 at the 16th hole.

Tommy Gainey’s brilliant 10-under-par 31-29=60 in the final round of The McGladrey Classic held up for his first PGA TOUR victory by one stroke over David Toms.

Gainey stepped on the 18th tee with an opportunity to circle a birdie and post a 59, but his 19’3" birdie attempt missed just to the right of the cup. In all he was blemish-free, circling eight birdies and adding a hole-out from a greenside bunker for eagle on the par-5 15th. He landed 16 GIR and needed just 24 putts to navigate the Seaside Course, gaining over five strokes relative to the field with the flat stick. He finished the week inside the top three in putting average, putts per round and Strokes Gained, leading him to a 16-under 264. This win replaces his runner-up finish to Davis Love III in the 2008 Children’s Miracle Network Classic as his career-best. His 60 is the lowest round on the PGA TOUR this season, and is the 26th in the history of the circuit.

Tommy Gainey has been removed from the published field of this week's Frys.com Open.

Gainey missed the cut in Vegas last week by six strokes. He's 105th on the money list, so he's not in jeopardy of falling outside the top 125. In his 30 starts this season, he banked over 54 percent of his earnings with a solo third at Colonial.

Tommy Gainey tied for third in last year's Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, and he's back for another test at TPC Summerlin this week.

Gainey has notched five third-place finishes in the past two seasons, but has yet to break through the glass ceiling to claim a victory. He enters the week with $804,703 in earning and in 102nd place on the money list, likely meaning he's already safe for a 2013 PGA TOUR card.

Tommy Gainey chased his opening 66 at the Wyndham Championship with a 3-under-par 32-35=67 to reach the midpoint in 7-under 133, five strokes back of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Other than a fanned par save from inside four feet at the par-4 ninth (his last of the round), this was an acceptable performance. Gainey hit 13 greens and circled five birdies, including respective conversions from 18'11" and 10'3" at the 10th and 11th holes to kickstart his second loop of Sedgefield.

Tommy Gainey posted a 4-under-par 31-35=66 in his opening round of the Wyndham Championship, finishing four strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Gainey recorded the third of four third-place finishes at Sedgefield a year ago. Given today's continuation of form, it's clear that he's a great fit for the track. He hit 12 greens today and rolled in six birdies, including respective rolls of 24'8", 10'1" and 21'8" at the third, fifth and sixth holes.

Tommy Gainey spun a bogey-free, 5-under-par 33-32=65 in his second round of the RBC Canadian Open to reach the midpoint in 6-under 134, five strokes back of the 36-hole clubhouse co-leaders.

Gainey hit 16 greens at Hamilton today and rolled in five birdies. His highlight occurred at the par-4 11th where he chipped in for birdie from greenside rough 11 yards out. A reasonably strong two months have lifted the likable touring pro to 95th in FedExCup points. Given his propensity to light a fire at any time, he's the kind of spoiler that could parlay his Playoff appearance into a tee time at East Lake in the finale.
