Olin Browne shot a 12-over 75-77=152 and will miss the cut at the St. Jude.

As usual, Browne found fairways (21 of 28) but took 61 putts and couldn't avoid the big numbers, with nine bogeys, two doubles and a triple in his two loops of TPC Southwind. This was Browne's final event on his medical extension, which leaves him allowed to accept unlimited sponsor's exemptions or rely on his Past Champion status to gain entry into events for the remainder of 2008.

Olin Browne post a final round of 1-over-par 71 to finish in 69th place at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Browne has been playing on a limited Major Medical Extension this season and today's check for $12,322.00 now leaves him with one event to earn $391,766 to retain his Major Medical status for the rest of the 2008 season. If he earns at least $105,783 in his next start, then he'll have conditional status for the rest of the season. Should Browne fall short of conditional status, then he would have to play out of the past champion category and he would be able to accept unlimited sponsor's exemptions.

Olin Browne shot 73-74=147 at the AT&T Classic and missed the cut by three strokes.

Browne was accurate as usual off the tee, missing just two (of 28) fairways but his short game produced a mere four birdies, falling short of the cut line for the ninth time in 13 events this year. He's down to two starts on his medical extension to earn $404,088. Browne will try again at next week's Colonial, where he's listed in the published field.

Olin Browne played his two rounds of the Wachovia Championship in an aggregate 6-over par and will miss the cut.

Despite hitting 24 (of 28) fairways, Browne couldn't maintain the good play all the way to the cup, needing 61 putts and penciling in 13 holes over par. The MC leaves him with three events to earn $404,088 on his medical extension. Don't count the veteran out just yet but he'll need a couple of Top 10s to make a run at it. It's hard to believe that he'll turn 49 on May 22.

Olin Browne is in the published field at this week's Sony Open.

Like Paul Goydos and Corey Pavin, Browne tends to have one - just one - outstanding week of the season at this stage of his career. And it makes him frustrating to own in any fantasy game. Browne will be 49 in May, which is to say he'll be 50 next year and onto the Champions Tour. The medical extension will help but we advise avoiding OB for long-term help. The bright side is that at least he's back. Later in the year, if you are looking for a veteran to fill in a weekly spot for a tournament on a hard track, give him a try.
