Tom Lehman returns to the site of his 1996 British Open victory to chase another major championship.

Lehman should feel right at home at Royal Lytham and St. Annes, and with length not expected to be at a premium he could find himself contending once more. Now focusing his attention on the Champions Tour, he teed it up with the young guns once this year and posted a T16 at Mayakoba.

Tom Lehman was removed from the published field of this week's Memorial.

No biggie. He's listed in the published field of the Principal Charity Classic on the Champions Tour instead.

Tom Lehman carded a 6-under-par 34-31=65 in his opening round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Lehman's last of five PGA TOUR victories occurred at this event in 2000, and he lives in Scottsdale, so he's supported this event for a long time. This is the 20th start for the 51-year-old at the WMPO. En route to a T14 here last year, he opened with a 66. It was a bit of a fireworks show for Lehman today, as he converted birdies from 17'5", 25'2" and 20'5" at the seventh, 10th and 12th holes, respectively. He holed out for another birdie from 10 yards just off the fifth green. When he walked off 18, he was signing his card with a share of the lead.

Tom Lehman has been awarded a special invitation into next month's PGA Championship.

Considering that Hazeltine is the host this year, it's a no-brainer to open a spot for the native Minnesotan. Lehman, who turned 50 in March, finished T-29 when Hazeltine hosted the 2002 PGA.

Tom Lehman posted a final round of 4-over-par 75 and finished in a tie for eighth place at the Transitions Championship.

Lehman started the day with a one-stroke lead and by the turn he was three-shots off the lead. He sank even further with a double-bogey at the 16th hole, but he pulled himself back into the Top 10, with a nice birdie at the 17th. The T-8 finish earned him a check for $151,200, however Lehman has been playing on a Minor Medical Extension and he has fallen $16,243 short of the terms of that extension. He will now play out of the Top 25 career Money List Exemption. Lehman is scheduled to play in next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he has a very good history that includes a T-8 last year and a T-5 in 2007.

Tom Lehman carded a third round of 3-under-par 68 and leads by a stroke over Retief Goosen at the Transitions Championship.

The 50-year-old Lehman was 1-over-par at the turn, then he made his charge up the leaderboard by reeling off four consecutive birdies starting at the 12th hole. Lehman looked like he might add a birdie the final hole, however the 16-foot putt hung on the lip. On Sunday, Lehman will be looking for his sixth career PGA Tour title and his first since the 2000 Phoenix Open.

Tom Lehman is 5-under-par through two rounds of the Transitions Championship.

Lehman is tied for third place with seven others one stroke off the 36-hole lead. He's one of eight of the 10 golfers in the Top 10 that pulled the late-early draw this week. Although he has status this year via a career money list exemption, this is Lehman's final start on a Minor Medical Extension specifically for entry into THE PLAYERS and the AT&T National, which award spots via the Top 125 on the 2008 money list. To qualify for both, Lehman needs to earn $167,443 at the Transitions, which is at worst a three-way tie for seventh.

Tom Lehman posted a 3-over-par 74 in the opening round of the FBR Open.

Well, if the elbow was bothering him, then at least he has an excuse for today's 11 GIR and 32 putts. Yuck. Moreover, he failed to record a single birdie at TPC Scottsdale, where he won in 2000.

Tom Lehman will be in the field at next week's FBR Open.

Since missing the cut at The Barclays in August, Lehman has withdrawn from events on the PGA Tour and elsewhere due to tendonitis in his elbow. He turns 50 in just 44 days (March 7), so his allegiance to the PGA Tour might wane considerably if he doesn't post Top 25s with regularity.

Tom Lehman has elected to use a one-time Top 25 Career Earnings exemption to play the PGA Tour in 2009.

No surprise and why not? Lehman turns 50 on March 7 and, sitting 18th in career earnings with over $20 million, he'll have yet another career money exemption (Top 50 all-time) in his pocket for as long as he finishes a PGA Tour season ranked inside the Top 50 all-time. Meanwhile, elbow tendinitis cut short his 2008 campaign in August, making him eligible for a Minor Medical Extension of six events specifically for 2009 invitationals that accept the Top 125 on the 2008 money list, Rotoworld learned in an email from a PGA Tour rep. If Lehman earns $176,101 before exhausting his extension, he will qualify for THE PLAYERS and the AT&T National.

Tom Lehman has been removed from the field at this weekend's Straight Down Fall Classic in San Luis Obispo, California.

Lehman isn't the only withdrawal but this was scheduled to be his first competition since withdrawing from the Frys.com Open, which was his most recent WD since The Barclays. Incidentally, Tom's brother and amateur, Jim, remains in the field of the Straight Down.

Tom Lehman is not listed in the published field of next week's Children's Miracle Network Classic, but has committed to the 12th annual Straight Down Fall Classic in San Luis Obispo, Calfornia on November 14-15.

Although Lehman's fantasy value is rapidly fleeting, he won't qualify for the Champions Tour until he turns 50 on March 7. Currently 18th in career earnings, Lehman is likely next year to use a one-time exemption available to those inside the Top 25 on the career money list. For now, the two-day event on the West Coast will offer a good test for his elbow (tendinitis).

Tom Lehman withdrew from the Frys.com Open this afternoon.

In an email, Jim Lehman, his brother and agent, said that Tom has been battling tendonitis in his elbow, which explains his early withdrawals from the Texas Open and now the Frys.com. He hasn't played since the Barclays two months ago. At 134th on the money list, Tom needs to bank another $150K or so to secure his 2009 PGA Tour card. However, he turns 50 on March 7, so he isn't facing the same kind of urgency for a job as his fellow bubble boys.

Tom Lehman withdrew on Monday from the Valero Texas Open.

Lehman is currently 127th on the Money List, so it will interesting to see if he comes out and plays in a few more fall events to try to retain full status on the Tour for the 2009 season.
