At 9-under-par 69-66=135, Kevin Chappell was the first to establish the 36-hole clubhouse lead at THE PLAYERS.
Chappell has hit just 23 greens in regulation, but he's filled up the cup with an eagle and 12 birdies to offset five bogeys. He's played the par-5 11th hole in 3-under with a birdie from 20'9" on Thursday and an eagle conversion measuring just 10'10" today. Three other birdies found the cup from beyond 13 feet, and he poured in a par save from 12'8" at No. 5 in the second round. Four of Chappell's five paydays this year have gone for a top 25 -- three were top 15s -- so he's quite comfortable contending. May 10 - 11:56 AM

Kevin Chappell heads to Wells Fargo Championship with two top-15 finishes in his most recent three starts of 2013.

Chappell is a veteran of two trips to Quail Hollow, following up a missed cut in 2011 with a T52 last season. It’s becoming a little difficult to predict when he will show up, but what we can tell is that he makes the most of tournaments when he sees the weekend. He’s secured top 25s in each of his four made cuts.

Kevin Chappell fired a 4-under-par 34-34=68 in the final round of the Shell Houston Open to nab his second top 10 of the 2013 season at 13-under 275.

Chappell was bogey-free through 15 holes, but finally suffered his only bogey of the day at the par-3 16th. He bounced back with a kick-in birdie on the par-4 17th before making par at the last. He now heads to TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open.

Kevin Chappell signed for a 5-under-par 33-34=67 in the third round of the Shell Houston Open, joining a huge group at 9-under 207 at Redstone.

Chappell was bogey-free 6-under through his first 16 holes, but failed to get up-and-down for par at the 17th after facing a difficult pitch. He entered the week having missed his last five cuts, and is in position to eclipse his season-best T8 at the Humana Challenge with a strong run in the final round. It's been a feast-or-famine season for the UCLA Bruin, with the aforementioned T8 and a T24 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open his only paydays in eight tries.

Kevin Chappell will make his second start at the Puerto Rico Open.

Chappell’s only other trip to Puerto Rico was a missed cut in 2011. While he’s only made two cuts in five starts, both have gone for top-25 finishes including a T8 at Humana. At 33rd in GIR and 154th in strokes gained-putting, it doesn't take a sabermatrician to figure out what prevents him from being consistent week in and out.

Kevin Chappell flirted with a 59 for much of the day before settling for a 10-under-par 30-32=62in the final round of the Humana Challenge, becoming the first in the clubhouse at 22-under 266.

Starting on the 10th hole at the Palmer Course, he opened with birdies on his first three holes. He would add birdies on three of the final four holes before turning his attention to the front nine. There, he would raise his hand to be put on 59 watch with birdies on four of the first six holes. He narrowly missed an eagle attempt on the par-5 sixth and needed an eagle on the reachable par-4 eighth to have a shot at a course-record tying 59, but settled for a birdie after failing to secure the deuce with a crafty chip. A 3-putt bogey at the last means he won't hoist the trophy, but he heads to the Farmers Insurance Open in solid form.

Kevin Chappell finished the 2012 PGA TOUR season as the bubble boy, finishing 125th on the money list.

He snuck inside the number by making the cut in his last two events. Cashing checks wasn't the problem, as he played the weekend in 18 of 29 events. Top 10's were hard to come by, as he found his lone six-figure paycheck when he tied for 10th at the U.S. Open. It was his second top 10 in that event in as many years. With that exception, he's been unable to post top 25's in back-to-back seasons in any other event.

Kevin Chappell took it right down to the wire, but his 1-over-par 35-38=73 in the final round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic looks just good enough to earn him a 2013 TOUR card at 7-under 281.

Chappell began the week 123rd on the money list, and entered the closing two holes on the Magnolia Golf Course inside the top 125. He rinsed his tee shot on the difficult 17th, leading to his second bogey of the day. Reaching the 18th hole projected in the 125th spot, he needed a par to likely secure his card. He landed the green, giving himself a birdie attempt from 21'10", which he would run by 3'10". He immediately lined it up and nailed it, meaning it would take a minor miracle for someone to overtake him.

Kevin Chappell carded a 5-under-par 34-33=67 on the Palm Course in his opening round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic.

Chappell arrived at Disney ranked 123rd on the money list, just $6,479 clear of Trevor Immelman at No. 126. So, the second-year TOUR player passed today's gutcheck on the easier of the two courses in play this week, and he hit only 10 greens in regulation. However, he limited the damage to a single bogey against six birdies, totaling just 24 putts. It's safe to say that he got the most out of today's round.

Kevin Chappell is 123rd on the money list, and would love to replicate last year’s tie for third at the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic this time around.

Chappell likely won’t need all that high of a finish to secure full status for 2013, but a missed cut could spell disaster depending on what happens below him. Before his T43 at The McGladrey Classic, he had failed to earn a check in his last four starts. At 129th in total driving, he needs to try and find a few more fairways than normal at Disney to ensure an adequate amount of birdie looks.

Kevin Chappell signed for a 1-over-par 36-36=72 after his opening round of The Barclays.

Chappell withdrew during his second round of last week's Wyndham Championship; he called it quits during the weather delay and wasn't going to make the cut anyway. Today at Bethpage, he managed three birdies after hitting just nine greens. Two were brilliant conversions measuring 39 feet and 27'3" at the third and 13th holes, respectively, but he offset them with four bogeys.

Kevin Chappell withdrew during his second round of the Wyndham Championship.

He was 7-over-par through 14 holes and laying 2 in a greenside bunker at the par-5 15th when he walked off. Given that he was an aggregate 7-over with four holes to play and not going to make the cut, he likely elected not to return after play resumed at 6:30 p.m. ET. If an explanation is released, we will relay it to you, but look for him to reset for the Playoff opener at Bethpage next wee.

Kevin Chappell rode a final-round 6-under-par 33-32=65 at the John Deere Classic to an 8-under 276 tally.

Chappell was bogey-free, circling six birdies on the strength of 15 GIR and a 1.60 putting average. He needed just 27 putts to navigate TPC Deere Run. He will take next week off, as he is not in the field for the True South Classic.

Kevin Chappell reached the midpoint of The Greenbrier Classic in 5-under-par 69-66=135, good for very early possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

It won't hold up but he was first to the house. He's been nails off the tee, missing only three (of 28) fairways. He's hit 25 greens and taken 57 putts, offsetting four bogeys with an eagle and seven birdies. His eagle came courtesy of a chip-in from just off the green at the par-5 12th hole on Thursday. Today's round feature six birdies including rolls of 16'10" and 10'8" at the fourth and 16th holes, respectively.

Kevin Chappell settled for a final round 2-over-par 72 to finish the U.S. Open in a tie for 10th at 5-over 285.

Chappell seems to find U.S. Open venues to his liking, as he finished T3 at Congressional last year. He circled one birdie in his final round, coming at the par-4 14th, but it wasn't enough to erase the three bogeys he suffered earlier in his round. He finished the week tied for fourth in GIR at 63.9 percent.
