Michael Letzig enters the Valero Texas Open struggling to find his game in 2013.

Letzig’s only payday was a T60 at the Farmers Insurance Open, sprinkling in a pair of missed cuts before and after that week. He was one of many struggling players to drop down and play the Chitimacha Louisiana Open on the Web.com Tour two weeks ago and tied for 33nd. He tied for 64th here in 2010.

Michael Letzig earned a shot at a second stint on the PGA TOUR through 2012 Q School but has missed both of his cuts ahead of the Farmers Insurance Open.

In what have proven to be events where the scores have been deep, Letzig has failed to shoot a sub-par round in five tries. In his two trips to Torrey Pines, his lone made cut resulted in a 77th with nothing better than a 71 on the card. He needs to prove he is worth the investment before you plug him into any fantasy lineups.

Michael Letzig shared medalist honors at today's four-spotter for The McGladrey Classic at Brunswick (GA) Country Club with a 4-under-par 32-34=66.

Letzig went from withdrawing from the Frys.com after 32 holes to committing to this week's Miccosukee Championship on the Nationwide Tour to a spot in the 132-man field at Sea Island. He circled six birdies against two bogeys at Brunswick. Phillip Choi, who left the University of Florida after his sophomore season and turned pro this year, matched with a 4-under 33-33=66, also carding six birdies and two bogeys. Tom Murray (3-under 33-34=67; 4 birdies, 1 bogey) and Richard Scott (3-under 35-32=67; 6 birdies, 3 bogeys) survived a 3-for-2 playoff to qualify. Among the notables that failed include Gene Sauers (69), Lee Janzen (70), Leif Olson (70), Ty Tryon (71), Frank Lickliter II (72), Jerod Turner (72), Mathias Gronberg (72), Matthew Borchert (72), Russell Henley (72), Robert Gamez (73), Bob Estes (74), Tadd Fujikawa (74), Chris Smith (75), Aron Price (76) and Dru Love (78), son of Davis Love III.

Michael Letzig withdrew during his second round of the Frys.com Open.

Letzig three-putted from 9'5" at the par-4 fifth hole for double bogey -- he missed a 14-inch bogey putt -- before play was suspended for darkness on Friday night. He didn't return this morning and didn't submit an explanation for his decision. He was 3-over through 14 holes in his second round and 6-over through 32 with an extremely slim chance to make the cut. If he's able, Letzig will compete in next week's Miccosukee Championship on the Nationwide Tour. He entered this week ranked 198th on the PGA TOUR money list and seems destined for a spot in the second stage of Q School.

Michael Letzig was added to the published field of this week's Frys.com Open.

He was listed as the second alternate when the field was released on Friday afternoon and gained entry this morning after a series of withdrawals. Finishing 150th on the money, as Letzig did in 2010, can be a crucible. For the majority of the first five months, guys at that level in the pecking order struggle getting into tournaments. Letzig was no different and the Frys.com will be just his twelfth PGA TOUR event of 2011. He hasn't qualified since the Wyndham Championship where he missed the cut and ranks 198th in earnings.

Michael Letzig has been added to the published field of this week's HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Letzig started the week as the eighth alternate, and gained entry when Peter Tomasulo withdrew. This will be Letzig's fourth start on the PGA TOUR this year; he's 0-for-3 thus far. He's partially exempt via the conditional status category for finishing 150th in earnings in 2010. However, Mike Weir and Brett Wetterich rank below him in the priority ranking after falling short of meeting the terms of their Major Medical Extensions but earning enough to qualify for conditional status. Even so, Weir and Wetterich both gained entry into the Nelson fields through other means, so Letzig is the last of his category to secure a tee time this week.

Michael Letzig crafted a 7-under-par 30-34=64 in the opening round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

The third-year PGA TOUR member entered the week 148th on the money list, so he has to hustle to earn his card. This is the third straight week that he's gone low in the first round (65, McGladrey; 66, Frys.com), but he's finished outside the top 50 in the previous two. He started today 6-under through seven after following four consecutive birdies with an eagle at the par-5 16th hole. After a dry spell, he finished birdie-eagle to join the co-leaders in the clubhouse. Letzig's longest conversions today came at the par-4 15th (22'6") and par-3 8th holes (24'10"). He also saved par from 11'11" at the par-4 10th to start his round.

Michael Letzig carded a bogey-free, 5-under-par 34-32=66 in his opening round of the Frys.com Open.

Letzig hit 14 greens and needed just 27 putts at CordeValle today, finishing two back of the overnight lead. He dropped five birdies, including putts of 21'1", 18'0" and 27'2" at the 17th, 1st and 6th holes, respectively. He also holed out from 18 yards in a greenside bunker at the par-3 3rd.

Michael Letzig posted a 5-under-par 35-30=65 in his opening round of The McGladrey Classic.

Letzig converted six birdies, including one from 11'2" at the 8th hole and another from 11'8" at the 10th, but he'll likely cite his clutch par saves as the reason he finished two back of the clubhouse lead. After failing to find the putting surface in regulation at the par-4 13th, his par putt of 18'5" was true. Then, at the par-4 18th, after another wayward approach missed the green, he got his par attempt from 15'3" to disappear.

Michael Letzig crafted a bogey-free, 7-under-par 32-32=64 in his opening round of the John Deere Classic.

And he's currently five strokes off the clubhouse lead with Matt Jones. Sigh. Letzig hit all 14 fairways and 16 greens en route to seven birdies. He needed just 27 putts. Four of his birdies disappeared from beyond 13 feet, the longest of which was 21'2" at the 8th hole.

On Monday morning, Michael Letzig withdrew from the field of the St. Jude Classic.

Letzig looked good last week, when he crafted a nice opening round of 5-under-par 67, but he blew up on Friday with a round of 9-over-par 81 to miss the weekend cut.
