Jonas Blixt has been removed from the published field of this week's HP Byron Nelson Championship.
Blixt finished last among the 77 that completed 72 holes at last week's PLAYERS, his fourth straight event. He's exempt into the next two tournaments, so it's possible that he wants a break. He's 153rd in FedExCup points, but course history buffs may have wanted to lean on last year's T3 at TPC Four Seasons. That strategy will have to be tabled for at least another year. May 14 - 9:41 AM

Jonas Blixt returns to TPC Louisiana where he enjoyed a tie for 13th in his first Zurich Classic of New Orleans last season.

Perhaps a trip to The Big Easy is exactly what the sophomore needs, as his second lap around the PGA TOUR has been disappointing. He’s made just four cuts in 10 events, with a T34 at Torrey Pines his best in a full-field event. He’s seen his strokes gained-putting clip plummet from second in 2012 to 91st this season.

Jonas Blixt will play the Arnold Palmer Invitational for the first time this week.

The Swede finished tied for 38th in Tampa last week to snap a string of three missed cuts. His sophomore season has lacked the strength of his rookie year, missing four cuts in seven starts without a top 30 in full-field events. The putter is the problem, dropping from second in strokes gained to 93rd.

Jonas Blixt is set to play the Northern Trust Open for the second time in as many years.

He opened with an 80 in his first round on Riviera CC and followed that up with a 73. In four starts this season, he's made two cuts but hasn't found a top 10. That mix of poor course history and average form isn't anything to get too excited about.

Jonas Blixt became a winner in his rookie season on the PGA TOUR in 2012 when he hoisted the Frys.com Open trophy and now becomes a Hyundai Tournament of Champions rookie for his troubles.

The Swede was trending entering the Frys.com Open, finishing third the week prior. At second in strokes gained-putting and 25th in scrambling in 2012, he will likely hope Kapalua’s Plantation Course turns into a putting contest. Sometimes it does, so don’t count him out.

Jonas Blixt settled for a 2-over-par 37-35=72 in his opening round of The McGladrey Classic.

This was somewhat expected given he's coming off the thrill of his first PGA TOUR victory on Sunday. It was a rough day at Seaside as the putts just didn't drop. Blixt hit 14 greens in regulation and sunk all but one attempt from inside 10 feet, but he managed only two birdies -- both from beyond 14 feet -- and swallowed two bogeys and a double. Overall, he needed a whopping 34 putts.

When he turned in a 3-under-par 34-34=68 in the final round of the Frys.com Open, Jonas Blixt earned his first PGA TOUR victory by one stroke over Tim Petrovic and Jason Kokrak.

The rookie from Sweden jumped out to a fast start, circling birdies on his first two holes before immediately handing them back with bogeys on Nos. 3 and 4. He would play his final 14 holes blemish-free, adding birdies at the par-4 sixth and dropping birdie putts from inside eight feet on both 15 and 17. After splitting the fairway on the par-4 18t, his approach took an unfortunate hop to the wrong level of the green, leaving a 38'4" tester for birdie. A lag to 3'9" would set up the winning par conversion. It was no surprise that he sank the putt as he entered the week ranked third on the PGA TOUR in Strokes Gained-Putting and first in the category at CordeValle Golf Club. He also led the field in putts per round en route to his winning aggregate of 16-under 268. Blixt joins John (Mayakoba) and Ted Potter Jr. (Greenbrier) as rookie winners in 2012.

Jonas Blixt is positioned for his first PGA TOUR win after turning in a 5-under-par 35-31=66 in the third round of the Frys.com Open, improving to 13-under 200.

Blixt is fresh off a third-place finish at the Justin Timberlake, and will play in the final group at CordeValle on Sunday. After a bogey on the par-3 third for the second day in-a-row, the Swede equalized his outward nine with a birdie on the par-5 ninth. Finding that to his liking, he added five more on the back, including a birdie from 6'3" on the final hole. Ranking third in Strokes Gained-Putting entering the week, it's no surprise that he is in the top five in putts per round, putting average and Strokes gained with 18 to go. He will try and capture his first win in Sunday's finale.

Jonas Blixt chased his opening 66 at the Frys.com Open with a 3-under-par 34-34=68 in his second round, reaching the midpoint in 8-under 134, one stroke off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

For the second straight day, the rookie hit 12 greens at CordeValle Golf Club, but he needed three more putts (28) today. He still managed to convert five birdies, including respective rolls of 10'10" and 14'3" at the seventh and 18th holes. The PGA TOUR's third-best in Strokes Gained-Putting ranked eighth in this week's field at the time he signed his card today with a split north of 2.360.

Jonas Blixt crafted a bogey-free, 5-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the Frys.com Open, finishing one stroke back of the clubhouse co-leaders.

No letup by the Swede today. After sharing the lead after 36 and 54 holes in Vegas last week, Blixt split 10 (of 12) fairways and hit 12 greens in regulation at CordeValle. Flashing his trademark brilliant putter, he took just 25 swipes with the flat stick on the greens. Three of his five birdies measured as least 10 feet, the longest of which dropping in from 15'7" at the 18th hole, his ninth of the day. He also kept his card clean with a par save from 10'7" at 3.

Jonas Blixt settled for a third-place finish at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open after settling for a 1-under-par 35-35=70 in the final round.

Blixt opened with a bogey on the par-4 first, and would erase that blemish with a birdie on the par-4 sixth. He would only add one more birdie, at the par-4 15th, which wasn't enough to pressure Ryan Moore for the title. Though he led the field in putts per round and Strokes Gained, he had his weakest performance with the flat stick in the final round when it counted the most. He finishes the week at 20-under 264.

Jonas Blixt earned a share of the 54-hole lead at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open when he signed for a 5-under-par 35-31=66, boosting his aggregate to 19-under 194.

The rookie shares is joined by Ryan Moore and Brendon de Jonge, and of those only Moore owns a PGA Tour victory. Blixt's round was going nowhere fast, as he was 1-over when he stepped on the 12th tee. He then caught fire, circling six birdies on his final seven holes. A 24-foot chip-in on the par-3 14th for a deuce kept the momentum rolling during that stretch. He looks to put a bow on an already solid first year on TOUR. In Sunday's finale.

Jonas Blixt chased his opening-round, 7-under-par 64 at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open with another in his second round to grab outright possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 14-under 128.

The rookie carded respective nines of 31 and 33 today and overcame one bogey and a double to match his career low on the PGA TOUR just one day after he set it. The highlight of today's trip around TPC Summerlin was a hole-out for eagle from the fairway 104 yards out at the par-4 seventh hole. However, Blixt also circled eight birdies, four of which from beyond 10 feet, including a zero-putt six-yarder from just off the green at the par-4 fifth and a traditional conversion from 26'7" at 9. We can't overlook his par save from 12'5" at 11 either. He's hit 29 greens in regulation, and at the time he signed his card today, he led the field in birdies (15) and Strokes Gained-Putting with a clip north of 3.750.

Jonas Blixt posted a bogey-free, 7-under-par 32-32=64 in his opening round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, finishing three strokes adrift of the overnight lead.

Despite missing 10 weeks with a rib injury, the rookie sith 89th on the money list, so he's chasing secondary goals to lay the foundation for 2013. He hit 15 greens in regulation at TPC Summerlin today and poured in seven birdies, four of which qualify as highlights. The first one disappeared from 58'8" at the 17th hole, making his conversion from 20'9" at 18 seem tame. After missing the green pin-high at the par-4 second, he jarred a seven-yarder for another birdie. The Swede then capped off what is a career-low round on the PGA TOUR with one final birdie from 21'9" at the ninth.

Jonas Blixt finds himself floating on the FedExCup bubble after a final-round 3-under-par 35-33=68 in the Deutsche Bank Championship moved him to 6-under 278.

Failing to convert a 12'9" birdie attempt on the par-5 18th could haunt him, but the fluid projections of the FedExCup standings have him 69th with a number of players still on the course. The top 70 gain entry in the BMW Championship. In all, he circled six birdies, but squared three bogeys in his final lap round TPC Boston.
