Bud Cauley spun a 4-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial and is the first to post 8-under 202.
Cauley circled five birdies, suffering one bogey, in his navigation of Colonial Country Club. While he found just half of his greens in regulation, he crafted a 1.556 putting average and managed a birdie from off the green on the par-3 16th. The 2013 season has been a struggle for him, with a T16 at the Shell Houston Open his best of the season. With three rounds in the 60s and 18 holes remaining, perhaps a return trip to the Lone Star State was exactly what the doctor ordered. May 25 - 3:56 PM

Bud Cauley returns for the second time to play the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Cauley's already had a busy week, open qualifying for The Open Championship on Monday. His 2013 season hasn't been as successful as his rookie season, which included a missed cut at Colonial CC. At 124th in the FedExCup standings, he has some work to do over the next three months to ensure that he retains his card for a third full season.

Bud Cauley has been removed from the published field of this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

He missed the 36-hole cut at the RBC Heritage by four strokes to drop to 4-for-11 on the season. The PGA TOUR sophomore sits 115th in FedExCup points, but for all intents and purposes, he's enduring a slump. Unfair as it may be for a 23-year-old who's going to take his lumps from time to time, his early success has projected for greater heights.

Bud Cauley rode one of the more interesting opening nines en route to a 1-under-par 36-35=71 in his second round of the Valero Texas Open.

It's not often that all eight of a golfer's pars during a single round occur consecutively, but the likelihood is even less that the first par isn't penciled in until the 10th hole of the round. That was Cauley's reality today. He opened with a birdie at the par-4 first hole where he holed out from a greenside bunker. Two more birdies trailed, the second of which conventionally from 14'7". He then closed out his outward side double bogey-birdie-bogey-bogey-birdie-bogey. After his last par at 17, he rolled in a birdie from 11'3" almost as if to tell TPC San Antonio that he had the last word.

Bud Cauley torched Redstone for a third-round 7-under-par 33-32=65 at the Shell Houston Open, taking the clubhouse lead at 9-under 207.

He got it done with eight birdies to just one bogey. He circled four birdies on his first six holes, including two from outside 18 feet. His only blemish came at the par-3 ninth, failing to convert a 7'2" par attempt. He would add four more birdies on the back, with an approach to 1'8" on the 10th the highlight. After a below-average beginning to his season, Cauley has not only a chance at his year's first top 20 in Sunday's finale, but could leave Houston with his first PGA TOUR win if fortune breaks his way.

Bud Cauley opened the Shell Houston Open with a bogey-free, 4-under-par 33-35=68, four strokes off the pace of clubhouse leader D.A. Points.

Cauley hasn't cashed in his last four starts and he's a mere 2-for-8 on the year with a season-best T24 at the WM Phoenix Open, so consider today's effort a welcome surprise. He hit 14 greens in regulation and circled four birdies, including a 12'8" conversion at No. 1 and a bunker hole-out from 11 yards at 16. He kept his card clean with par saves of 17 feet and 12 feet at holes 9 and 18, respectively.

Bud Cauley incurred a 7-over-par 40-39=79 in his opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Cauley returned inside the ropes today after withdrawing before his second round at Copperhead last week with an illness. If he was feeling better at Bay Hill, it didn't show as he went 1-for-13 in birdie opportunities, and that single par breaker was as the result of a conversion from 15'6" at the 11th hole, so it was hardly a gimme. He also poured in a par save from 12'6" to conclude his round at the ninth hole, but Cauley whiffed on seven putts inside 10 feet, three of which were for birdie, the other four for par.

Bud Cauley withdrew from the Tampa Bay Championship before his second round due to an illness.

Cauley was scheduled to go off the 10th tee at Copperhead at 8:00 a.m. ET. He opened with a 3-over-par 38-36=74 and went 0-for-8 in birdie opportunities. This is the fifth time in seven starts this season that he's failed to cash. The Sophomore Slump continues. Look for him to try again at next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Bud Cauley had little trouble making a splash on the PGA TOUR in 2012, but heads to The Honda Classic showing signs of a sophomore slump.

Cauley has made just two cuts in five tries to start the year, with a T24 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open the best. A native Floridian, it's entirely possible that a little home cooking will be just what the doctor ordered. He missed the cut at PGA National last season, but fared well on the rest of the Florida Swing.

Bud Cauley spun a bogey-free, 9-under-par 31-32=63 at PGA West's Palmer Private, good for low round of the day on any of the three courses in play.

The PGA TOUR sophomore hit 16 greens and rolled in nine birdies, including on all four par 5s. His most notable conversions measured 16'11" and 10'7" at holes 5 and 16, respectively. After an opening 70 at Nicklaus Private, he's 11-under 133 at the midpoint, three strokes back of the 36-hole clubhouse co-leaders. Cauley will close his rotation at La Quinta Country Club on Saturday.

In his first full season on the PGA TOUR, Bud Cauley built on a successful 2011 with 10 top 25s and six top 10s in 2012.

He finished 44th on the money list with $1,774,479, including a run where he posted three top-four finishes in a four tournament span. During that stretch, he was fourth at the True South Classic, tied for fourth at the RBC Canadian Open and third at the Wyndham Championship. His T4 at the True South Classic matched his 2011 finish in that event, making him a must play for one-and-done gamers if he returns to the lower tier event. If he skips it, then let his form be your guide. He likes to stack together top-15 finishes.

Bud Cauley posted a 2-under-par 33-35=68 in the third round of The McGladrey Classic and will try and capture his first PGA TOUR win in Sunday's final round.

Cauley bounced back from a birdie on the first hole with a birdie at the second, and followed with birdies on the fourth and seventh holes to reach the turn at 2-under. He then dropped a shot on the par-3 12th when he suffered a three putt from 53'4" before circling his final birdie on the par-5 15th after finiding the green in two. His 10-under 200 tally places him within shouting distance of the lead.

Bud Cauley followed his opening 62 at The McGladrey Classic with an even-par 36-34=70 in his second round to post 8-under 132, good for sole possession of the early 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Cauley converted on only one of 14 birdies opportunities today, and that one fell from a mere 27 inches at the par-5 seventh. He needed 33 putts, nine more than his opening round during his he also found 14 greens in regulation. Chalk it up to the cliché that it's difficult to follow a low round with another.

Bud Cauley matched the course record at Sea Island's Seaside Course in his opening round of The McGladrey Classic, posting a bogey-free, 8-under-par 33-29=62.

The PGA TOUR rookie hit 14 greens in regulation today and converted just two of his eight birdies before making the turn and flipping on the jets coming in. His set of birdies on the inward nine included conversions from 11'11" at the 14th hole and 16'8" at 15. Not only did he join Charles Howell III (2010) and Trevor Immelman (2011) in the record book, but the 62 is Cauley's personal low in a burgeoning career.

Bud Cauley signed for a 3-under-par 34-34=68 following his opening round of the Frys.com Open, finishing three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

CordeValle is cemented in Cauley's memory bank as the site where he secured his first PGA TOUR card. The 2012 rookie finished alone in third place last year to clinch a spot in the top 125 with non-member earnings. (It remains his best finish on the circuit, a result he matched at this year's Wyndham Championship.) He picked up where he left off, too, hitting 14 greens and picking off five birdies, including conversions from 30'6" and 10'3" at the fifth and 12th holes, respectively. He also rolled in a par save from 10'8" at 4. He suffered both of his bogeys on par 3s, failing to get up and down after missing the greens off the tee.
