Jerry Kelly crafted a bogey-free, 5-under-par 32-35=67 in his second round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans to hit the halfway point in 7-under 137, five back of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.
The 2009 champion at TPC Louisiana got up and down all five times today -- he's 9-for-10 in scrambling for the week -- while picking off five birdies along the way. His most notable par breakers measured 22'8" at the sixth hole and 14'11" at 11, but arguably the most important conversion was a par attempt that disappeared from 16'2" at 4 because it both maintained a clean card and allowed his momentum to continue.

Jerry Kelly turned in an even-par 36-35=71 in the final round of the Heritage to secure his first top 10 of 2013 at 6-under 278.

Kelly's scorecard was a colorful one, featuring five birdies and five bogeys to just eight pars. He had a 7'6" effort on the par-4 18th to finish tied for third, but instead had to settle for a share of fifth. He now heads to TPC Louisiana for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Jerry Kelly spun a 5-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of the RBC Heritage to reach the 54-hole mark at 6-under 207.

Kelly's round was bogey-free, including three birdies in his first five holes that was highlighted by an approach to 1'1" on the par-4 third for a kick-in birdie. He added birdies on the 10th and 13th holes, failing to convert a seven footer on the par-3 17th that would have taken him one deeper. With wind expected to be a factor in the finale, he has put himself within striking distance of his fourth PGA TOUR victory.

Jerry Kelly is set to play in his 11th Shell Houston Open.

Kelly has made nine out of 10 cuts, but has only once played the current venue of Redstone GC’s Tournament Course. That was in 2006 when he tied for 44th. He’s made half of his eight cuts this season, with a T21 in his last start at the Tampa Bay Championship his best of the season.

Jerry Kelly is in the field for The Honda Classic this week.

Kelly’s year to date includes three paydays in five events, but he’s yet to secure a top 25. Though he missed the cut in his 2012 trip to PGA National, you don’t have to look far to find success. He was third in 2011 and tied for 12th in 2010. While his form doesn’t indicate this being a top-10 week, it’s not out of the question to expect his first top 25.

Jerry Kelly joined the early clubhouse leader of the Farmers Insurance Open at 5-under-par 35-32=67 after his opening round at Torrey Pines North.

As he stood on the tee at the par-5 14th hole, it's unlikely that "clubhouse co-leader" entered his mind. Over his first 13 holes, he converted only one birdie before wiping it away with two bogeys. However, golf never ceases to surprise. Kelly eagled the 14th, and then ran the table with birdies coming in to go 6-under on his final five holes.

Jerry Kelly submitted a 7-under-par 32-33=65 at PGA West's Nicklaus Private for his opening round of the Humana Challenge.

The 46-year-old has enjoyed some success at this event over the years. He's posted top 15s in four of his last nine starts (of 15 overall). Today he circled eight birdies before limping in with a bogey-5 at the 18th hole, his only over-par number of the day. It left him one stroke off the clubhouse lead. He'll play Palmer Private in the second round.

While Jerry Kelly's bid for fully exempt status on the PGA TOUR in 2013 via the top 125 in earnings fell short, he's likely going to exhaust a career earnings exemption.

Kelly logged his best finish of the year with a T9 at the season finale at Disney, but he finished 126th on the money list, $1,809 outside the top 125. More importantly, he retained his position just inside the top 25 in career earnings, $96,581 more than Charles Howell III at 26th. Therefore, Kelly can burn a one-time exemption offered to anyone inside the top 25 at the conclusion of a season. The soon-to-be 46-year-old sounds like he won't hesitate. "I did what I came here to do and that was to stay inside the top 25 in career money," said the three-time PGA TOUR winner. The top 50 in career earnings are also allowed an exemption, so Kelly would have another in his pocket if the need arises. Golfers are required to submit their intentions on these exemptions by Dec. 31. Should Kelly elect not to exhaust the exemption or improve his status at Q School, he'd begin next season on conditional status.

Jerry Kelly circled a birdie on his final hole at the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic to put a bow on a 6-under-par 33-33=66, giving him hope for a 2013 PGA TOUR card.

The veteran came to the 18th projected well outside the top 125 after a costly bogey on the 17th, but a birdie from inside five feet on the difficult closing hole improve him to 11-under 277. With that birdie, he is projected as the first man out, at 126th. There are still many players on the course that could boost Kelly inside the magic number of 125th.

Jerry Kelly heads to Disney for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic 137th on the money list.

Kelly has plenty of work left to do if he is to crack the all-important top 125, but the stress he faces is less than many of those surrounding him. By virtue of $23,732,362 in career earnings, he is 25th in career money. That affords him the possibility of a one-time top 25 career money exemption for full status in 2013, as well as a one-time top 50 exemption should he somehow fall out of the top 25. He’s first in driving accuracy, but 180th in distance and 142nd in strokes gained-putting.

Jerry Kelly chased his opening bogey-free 66 at the The Greenbrier Classic with another in his second round to post 8-under 132, good for a share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Another four birdies for the veteran today, three of which measuring over 11 feet; the longest disappeared from 15'2" at the 12th hole. However, his highlight was a par save of 16'9" at the 15th to retain a blemish-free week. Overall, he's split 27 (of 28) fairways and hit 27 greens in regulation. He's taken 55 putts and is an obvious 9-for-9 in scrambling on The Old White TPC.

Jerry Kelly posted a bogey-free, 4-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of The Greenbrier Classic, finishing two strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Kelly has struggled to just three top 25s in 16 starts this year, none of which went for a top 15. The dearth has him ranked 133rd in FedExCup points upon arrival at The Old White TPC. He was vintage today, however, splitting 13 (of 14) fairways and hitting 13 greens en route to four birdies. Three dropped in from beyond 13 feet, the longest of which 14'11" at the 16th hole.

Jerry Kelly crafted a bogey-free, 32-34=66 in his opening round of the Travelers Championship.

The University of Hartford product has been a fixture at this event near his alma mater. He's mixed in four top 15s with seven missed cuts in 14 appearances. Today he split 10 (of 14) fairways but found only 10 greens. In addition to four birdies, including respective conversions of 14'8", 26'8" and 13'7" at the 11th, 12th and fourth holes, respectively, he went 8-for-8 in scrambling and signed his card sitting one back of the clubhouse lead.

Jerry Kelly is in the field at the Memorial, and is in search of his first top 10 of the season.

While he hasn't missed more than two cuts in a row, Kelly has sprinkled in six missed cuts in 14 events. His best finish came at the Valero Texas Open where he nabbed a T18. He needs to get a move on, as his $259,733 is well short of what he would need to crack the top 125 and be fully exempt in 2013.
