Gary Woodland spun a 2-under-par 34-34=68 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and is in position to pick up his first top 10 of the season at 8-under 202.
Four birdies outpaced two bogeys in Woodland's navigation of TPC Four Seasons, with a 46'8" bomb on the par-4 fourth the highlight. While only landing six (of 14) fairways, he managed to find 14 GIR. Even though is current position is enviable, high winds predicted in the final round could change the entire dynamic of the leaderboard by the end of the day Sunday. May 18 - 5:27 PM

Gary Woodland carded a 5-under-par 32-33=65 in his second round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship to hit the halfway point in 6-under 134, five strokes off the 36-hole lead.

Woodland hasn't earned much attention this year and entered the week ranked 131st in FedExCup points, but he's cashed in nine of 12 starts, so it's more of a matter of putting four rounds together. The touring pros often classify this as being "close." Today's effort was more of a smothering, however, as he went 8-for-13 in birdie opportunities and signed his card with a strokes gained-putting split north of 3.250. Five of his eight birdies disappeared from outside 10 feet, including rolls of 35'6" at the 16th hole and 36'5" at 2. The only knock is that he got up and down just two of five times to reach seven bogeys on the week. Still, when you can offset the negative with 13 birdies through two rounds, it indicates a high level of confidence.

Gary Woodland submitted a 3-under-par 35-33=68 for his opening round of the RBC Heritage.

Woodland is still searching for some successful consistency. He's 6-for-9 this season but has logged just one top 25. Today marked his first competitive loop of Harbour Town, but he navigated like a veteran. He landed 12 greens and circled five birdies, including conversions of 13'3" and 11'7" at the seventh and 10th holes, respectively. He signed his card sitting three strokes in arrears of the clubhouse lead.

Gary Woodland shot a 2-under-par 35-35=70 in his opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational to settle five strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Woodland hit 11 greens in regulation but limited the damage to two bogeys while picking off four birdies. He circled three of his par breakers on the set of four par 5s at Bay Hill, proving that guys can save an otherwise bland day on the track.

Gary Woodland claimed his only PGA TOUR victory at the 2011 version of the Tampa Bay Championship, and his back for more this week.

Woodland recorded three other top-six finishes in 2011 following that win, but has only sniffed the top 10 once since the calendar turned to 2012. This season he’s made three of his five cuts, with a T16 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open his best effort. There is some pressure on him to perform this week.

Gary Woodland signed for a bogey-free 4-under-par 34-33=67 in the third round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open to complete 54-holes in 13-under 200.

The bomber circled two birdies and an eagle from 21'11" on the par-5 15th. After missing the cut at the Humana Challenge to start the season, he improved with a T27 in his second event at last week's Farmers Insurance Open. He's done a nice job limiting mistakes to just two bogeys and one double bogey in his first three rounds.

Gary Woodland nearly won the Humana Challenge in 2011, falling in a playoff to Jhonattan Vegas, and he will start 2013 back at the familiar confines.

Woodland only failed to see the weekend six times in 2012, but earned just one top 10 in what was a step-back year for the budding star. With this shaping up to be a pivotal year, he could use a solid start on a course where history is on his side. Considering his only top 10 of 2012 came in the Fall Series, he could find himself pressing early and often without some solid finishes.

Gary Woodland suffered through a disappointing 2012 while joining forces with Butch Harmon to work on his game.

The bomber had a win and a runner-up in 2011 and it was a good thing. He was unable to crack the top 125 on the 2012 money list, with just one top 10, and needed the two-year exemption from that 2011 victory to have full status for 2013. We only have to look to Camilo Villegas to find a shooting star who fell to earth and ended up losing a TOUR card, so Woodland needs to step his game up to avoid a similar fate.

Gary Woodland will close out his season at this week's Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic.

Woodland sits 131st on the money list, but he's fully exempt through next season for winning the 2011 Transitions Championship. After grinding through a long year filled with injury and swing modifications, he finally recorded his first top 10 at the Frys.com Open (T9). He then missed the 36-hole cut on the number at The McGladrey Classic. Perhaps Disney World will serve as a comfort zone. In his only previous appearance, he tied for 12th last year.

Gary Woodland finshed off a solid week at the Frys.com Open with a 3-under-par 33-35=68 in the final round, improving to 12-under 272 for the tournament.

Woodland entered the week without a top 10 on the 2012 resume, but shares ninth at the time of his posting. In the finale, he circled four birdies to just one bogey, finding 13 GIR and splitting 10 (of 14) fairways. He now readies himself for The McGladrey Classic in Sea Island, Georgia.

Gary Woodland is in position to earn his first top 10 of 2012 thanks in large part to a 5-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of the Frys.com Open.

As you would expect, the bomber circled two of his six birdies on CordeValle's three par 5s. His only dropped shot came at the par-4 eighth, when he failed to get up-and-down out of a greenside bunker. While he found just eight (of 14) fairways, he managed to land 13 GIR and needed just 27 putts to reach the 54-hole mark at 9-under 204.

Gary Woodland carded a 5-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the Frys.com Open, finishing one stroke back of the clubhouse co-leaders.

Now this is the Gary Woodland that treated us to a stellar 2011. In fact, today's score matches his season low (established thrice previously). The bad news is that the last time he signed for a 66 (after his opening round of the Wyndham Championship), he chased it with a 74 and missed the cut. That was also his last start. Today at CordeValle, he split 10 (of 14) fairways and hit 14 greens. While he needed 29 putts, he rolled in six birdies and finished with a Strokes Gained-Putting split north of 2.500. His most notable birdies disappeared from 12'11" at the first hole and 23'2" at 13. He also poured in a par save at the fifth hole from 14'6".

Once the second round of the Wyndham Championship resumed at 6:30 p.m. ET, Gary Woodland promptly whiffed on his par save from 6'4" at the par-4 18th hole.

Although 40 golfers needed to return to Sedgefield to complete their second rounds, most of the attention was on Woodland. He needed to hole the putt to play the weekend and keeps his hopes alive for a berth into the FedExCup Playoffs. Instead, he fell one stroke too high at even-par 66-74=140. He's fully exempt on the PGA TOUR through 2013 but it would be unusual if he didn't compete during the Fall Series at some point.

The second round of the Wyndham Championship was suspended at 5:15 p.m. ET due to threatening weather in the area. UPDATE: The restart is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Forty golfers were stranded when the horn sounded. Included in that group is Gary Woodland, who opened with a 66 but sits directly on the cut line after playing his first 17 holes today in 3-over-par. When play resumes, he'll be standing over a par putt from 6'4" at the par-4 18th hole. Not only does a paycheck ride in the balance, but if he misses the cut he'll fail to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. He entered the week ranked 130th in points.

Gary Woodland turned in a 4-under-par 32-34=66 for his opening round of the Wyndham Championship.

This is the bomber's first visit to Sedgefield, but he navigated it like a veteran today, splitting 12 (of 14) fairways and hitting 15 greens in regulation. He opened his loop with a par save from 14'5" at the par-4 10th hole, and then chased it with five birdies to erase one bogey. Among his birdies were respective conversions from 12'8" and 13'6" at the 12th and 15th holes. He signed his card sitting four strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.
