In his 43rd PGA TOUR start, Sang-moon Bae picked up his first victory on the circuit at the HP Byron Nelson Championship when his final-round 1-under-par 33-36=69 pushed him two ahead of Keegan Bradley.
Bae started off his day at TPC Four Seasons on fire, circling four birdies in a five-hole span beginning with the third. Two of those were from outside 20 feet. He stubbed his toe for the first time at the par-4 ninth, making a double bogey after a poor drive led to an approach in the water. He stayed on tilt with a bogey at 10 and another at 15 before finally bouncing back with a birdie at the par-5 16th. The birdie at 16 gave him a one-stroke advantage over Bradley before the American's bogey at 17 put Bae two clear with one to play. Bae calmly split the fairway at 18, and then landed his approach 19 feet from the hole to put the tournament away at 13-under 267. With this win, he his exempt into the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the PGA Championship. He's the eighth first-time winner of the season. May 19 - 5:45 PM

Sang-moon Bae spun a 4-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and now only trails Keegan Bradley by a stroke at 12-under 198.

Bae began the day four behind Bradley, but birdies at the first two holes quickly narrowed the gap. BAe's only blemish came at the fifth in the form of a bogey, but he would bounce back to circle birdies on eight, 13 and 16 before parring in. Despite only hitting 12 GIR today, he is tied for seventh in that category for the week and is eighth in strokes gained-putting. Should he emerge victorious at TPC Four Seasons, it would be his first on the PGA TOUR.

Sang-moon Bae backed up his opening 34-32=66 at the HP Byron Nelson Championship with another in the second round to earn a share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 8-under 132.

The PGA TOUR sophomore hit four fewer greens in regulation today (13), but picked off one more birdie (6). This was due to a lights-out performance with his putter. Five of his par breakers fell in from rolls that began more than 11 feet from the cup. The highlights measured 20'3" at 3 and 20'9" at 5. At the time he signed his card, his strokes gained-putting split for today's round was north of 3.500.

Sang-moon Bae carded a 4-under-par 34-32=66 in his opening round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Bae has cashed in 10 of 14 starts this season, but he's been stuck on one top 25 since a tie of eighth at the Northern Trust Open, which explains why he's just 95th in FedExCup points. Today he went 5-for-17 in birdie looks, including conversions of 15'5" and 30'2" at the fifth and 15th holes, respectively. Unfortunately, he couldn't submit a clean card due to a bogey at the par-4 eighth, the only hole where he didn't hit the green in regulation, but it's his lowest first round since a 65 at last year's Farmers. He signed today's card sitting six strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Sang-moon Bae carded a 4-under-par 34-34=68 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS.

Bae landed 13 greens in regulation and erased one bogey with five birdies, all of which falling from inside 10 feet. He was one of seven to turn in a 68 and the last of 16 to crack the top 10 on the leaderboard in the opening round.

Sang-moon Bae posted a 1-under-par 35-35=70 in his opening round of the RBC Heritage.

No news ever surfaced to explain if he was injured or dealing with a personal issue following his withdrawal after one round in San Antonio two weeks ago. Today's effort puts the mystery to rest, however. He secured his red number at Harbour Town with three birdies against two bogeys, including one of the three-putt variety (from just inside 33 feet at the par-4 18th hole). He curled in birdies from 10'11" and 10'6" at the 16th and fifth holes, respectively, but his longest conversion was a par save from 14'6" at 3.

Sang-moon Bae is listed in the published field of next week's RBC Heritage.

Bae called it quits in San Antonio last week after an opening 83. We still don't know why he withdrew. Coincidentally, in his debut at Hilton Head last year, he withdrew after an opening 83 due to a sore right shoulder.

Sang-moon Bae withdrew from the Valero Texas Open following his opening round.

Bae submitted an 11-over-par 42-41=83 before ending his stay in San Antonio. He hit only four greens in regulation and failed to record a birdie, instead racking up seven bogeys and two double. This drops him to 8-for-11 on the season. He dealt with a shoulder injury beginning right around this time a year ago. We'll update you if an explanation is released for today's decision.

Sang-moon Bae posted a bogey-free, 3-under-par 35-34=69 in his second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Bae hit 13 greens in regulation at Bay Hill en route to three birdies, the longest of which just 11'5" at the 11th hole. His other two were kick-ins on par 5s, which left consecutive par conversions of 13'11" and 15'9" at holes 14 and 15 to head his highlight reel. This is his eight payday in nine starts this season, proving that his woes of 2012 are long gone.

Sang-moon Bae made a sizable move up the leaderboard in the Puerto Rico Open with a 6-under-par 33-33=66, improving to 9-under 207 for the week.

Bae went bogey free, circling an eagle and four birdies on his lap around Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico. The timing of this round should give gamers plenty to think about when looking ahead to the Tampa Bay Championship next week. You may remember, he was part of a four-way playoff eventually won by Luke Donald. Given Bae's form, he may be worth an investment in several formats next week.

Sang-moon Bae posted a 4-under-par 34-33=67 in the final round of the Northern Trust Open, reaching the clubhouse at 8-under-par 276.

On a day where the leaders have struggled behind him, Bae showed little difficulty in navigating Riviera CC. He was even through seven holes, with two early birdies erased by two bogeys. He would catch fire from that point on, finding birdies at the ninth, 11th and 12th before adding one more at the 17th. He had a chance to take it one deeper, but failed to convert from 8'6" at the 18th. We will not have a chance to see if Bae can carry his momentum over to the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, as he is not in the field.

Sang-moon Bae struggled under the pressure of the final threesome at the Northern Trust Open, signing for a 5-over-par 37-39=76 and dropping into a share of 13th at 4-under 209.

Bae was a co-leader with Fredrik Jacobson beginning the day, but found only two birdies. Despite a near-perfect swing, he suffered five bogeys and a double bogey on the par-5 17th. Hopefully this will prove as a valuable learning experience for the PGA TOUR sophomore.

Sang-moon Bae converted nine birdies en route to a 6-under-par 32-33=65 in his second round of the Northern Trust Open and outright possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 9-under 133.

He could have taken it lower but he suffered three bogeys, two of the three-putt variety including a 23-inch miss at the fifth hole. At least he helped offset it with a par save from 10'8" at 14. Meanwhile, of his nine par breakers, five disappeared from beyond 13 feet. The set included conversions of 23'1", 25'4" and 22'9" at the 13th, third and sixth holes, respectively.

Sang-moon Bae shot a 3-under-par 35-33=68 in his opening round of the Northern Trust Open, finishing four strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Bae is making his debut at Riviera this week, but he didn't necessarily play like it. The PGA TOUR sophomore hit 13 greens in regulation and holed six birdies, including a conversion from 35'11" at the eighth hole and a zero-putt seven-yarder from just off the green at 18. He picked up a bogey at the par-4 13th hole, but then swallowed a double at the famous par-3 sixth. After missing the green off the tee, he pitched into the bunker in the middle of the green. From there, he failed to get up and down for bogey, misisng his par save from just outside 13 feet.

Sang-moon Bae scorched the Nicklaus Private Course at PGA West for a third-round eight-under-par 32-32=64, finishing his round at the Humana Challenge with eight birdies and 10 pars.

Bae's bogey-free round moves him to 16-under 200 for the week, and he has a solid chance at his season's first top 10. With a leaderboard as bunched as this one, anything could happen in Sunday's final round. He will head to the Palmer Course at PGA West for the finale, where he started the week with a 5-under 67 on Thursday.
