He finished the week sixth in driving distance and tied for ninth in GIR, finding the putting surface 60 (of 72) times in regulation. His 28 birdies led the field. He was a 2011 Web.com Tour graduate, but failed to maintain his status on the PGA TOUR.

Mark Anderson pulled in front at the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Web.com Tour with a 7-under-par 33-31=64 in the third round, boosting him to 21-under 194 and one clear of 36-hole leader Franklin Corpening.

Anderson was cruising along with three birdies and one bogey on his first 14 holes at Thornblade Club, then caught fire over the final four holes. He chipped in for eagle on the par-5 15th, and followed with a birdie on the par-5 16th. He then navigated the difficult final two holes with birdies to end his round. A native of South Carolina, he will try and pick up his first Web.com Tour victory in Sunday's final round.

Mark Anderson opened the Web.com Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am with a bogey-free, 32-31=63 at The Reserve at Lake Keowee, good for a share of the overnight lead in relation to par.

Anderson is back in the minors after a failed rookie season on the PGA TOUR in 2012. He's cashed in three of six starts on the Web.com Tour this year but hasn't recorded a top 30. Today he ripped off an eagle and seven birdies in addition to going 4-for-4 in scrambling.

Mark Anderson shares the lead at the Panama Claro Championship after firing a 6-under-par 29-35=64.

It shouldn't be a big surprise that Anderson finds himself in contention early, as this isn't the first time he's spun a 64 on Panama Golf Club. In 2010, a second-round 64 vaulted him to a T4 finish. He returned in 2011 and tied for 13th. In the eight rounds that consisted of those two tournaments, he was sub-70 in seven. Today's round consisted of eight birdies, including both of the par 5s, to just two bogeys.

Mark Anderson finished off his first career top 10 with a 4-under-par 36-32=68 in the final round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, ending the week at 11-under 277.

The unfortunate news for the rookie is that, not only will he not finish the year inside the top 125 on the PGA TOUR, he looks one shot shy of the top 150 and will head to the second stage of PGA TOUR Q School next week. Switching to the belly putter this week, his 1.580 putting average was among the best in the field. If his momentum continues, and he earns a card via Q School, he could be a player to watch in 2013.

Mark Anderson was the sixth to earn a share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic at 9-under-par 68-67=135.

The rookie started the week ranked a season-worst 170th on the money list. He sat as high as 109th following a T13 at the RBC Heritage in mid-April. Thus far as Disney, he's dialed in tee to cup, hitting 20 (of 28) fairways, 30 greens in regulation and taking just 57 putts. At the time he signed his card following today's round at Magnolia, he also sat inside the top 10 in distance off the tee at 297.8 yards. Anderson has rolled in 12 birdies, seven of which in his second round. The set included conversions from 11'5", 15'9" and 10'4" at the second, fourth and 15th holes, respectively.

Mark Anderson turned in an even-par 34-36=70 for his second round of The McGladrey Classic despite a case of food poisoning.

Anderson was originally listed as an early withdrawal this morning, but he gutted it out at Seaside, offsetting three bogeys with three birdies. Before he teed off, he received an IV, and then split three (of 14) fairways and hit 12 greens in regulation. He's 170th on the money list, so if he makes the cut, today's effort may have tremendous circumstance. Alas, he reached the midpoint in 1-under 139, which is unlikely to be low enough to advance to the weekend. UPDATE: The cut line, indeed, fell at 1-under 139, so Anderson will play on. However, a second cut of top 70 and ties will fall after 54 holes since greater than 78 golfers survived today's cut.

Mark Anderson is set to play in his first Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, and he enters the week in danger of a return trip to Q School.

The rookie had things going for a while, notching eight cuts in-a-row from the last week in January to the final week of April. Since then, he’s made just two of 12 cuts, with the best a T64 at the True South Classic. He hopped down to the Web.com Tour last week, where he tied for 38th at the Chiquita Classic in North Carolina. Everything has turned into a problem for him, as he ranks 125th in Strokes Gained-Putting, 182nd in driving accuracy and 153rd in greens in regulation. At 166th on the money list, every opportunity is precious at this point in the season.

Mark Anderson will play the Travelers Championship having missed his last four cuts leading up to this week.

Anderson was in the midst of a solid rookie season, seeing the weekend in eight of his first nine tournaments. Since then, he's dropped into the first real dry spell of his rookie campaign. He ranks 133rd in GIR and 55th in Strokes Gained-Putting. If he can get hot with the irons this week, he has a chance to get his season back on track.

Mark Anderson will have a short drive from his home in Beaufort, South Carolina to compete in the RBC Heritage.

The rookie has made five (of six) cuts in 2012, with his best finish being a T16 in the Mayakoba Golf Classic. This will not be his first start at Harbour Town, as he's gained entry in the previous three editions. He made the cut in 2010 and postes a T81 finish. He ranks 47th in scrabling, which could be important this week.

Mark Anderson spun a 4-under-par 33-34=67 in his opening round of the Mayakoba Golf Classic.

The PGA TOUR rookie hasn't made any noise this year, with a 2-for-3 record topped by a T35 at Pebble Beach. What he's not proving on the leaderboard he's fulfilling with par-5 scoring, having carded birdies or better on 27 of the 38 par 5s he's played this year. That includes birdies on all three today in addition to another three on El Camaleon. He was the sixth of seven to sign his card one stroke adrift of the overnight lead.
