Robert Allenby turned in a 3-under-par 33-34=67 in the final round of the St. Jude Classic to secure his best finish of 2013 at 5-under 275.
It's unknown if it will be good enough for a top 10 just yet, but it will easily surpass his T27 at Quail Hollow. He circled 14 birdies and an eagle this week at TPC Southwind to 11 bogeys. While his key ball-striking stats were poor, perhaps the biggest turnaround was on the greens. He ranked inside the top 20 in strokes gained-putting at the time of his posting. Jun 9 - 2:37 PM

Robert Allenby has a history of success at TPC Southwind in the FedEx St. Jude Classic, but recent form renders him a question mark.

In 16 starts this year, he's made the cut just three times with a T53 at Memorial last week his second-best finish. Finding a statistical category on the PGA TOUR where the Aussie cracks the top 100 is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It all adds up to a 171st ranking in the all-around category.

Robert Allenby takes on Quail Hollow for the ninth time in this week’s Wells Fargo Championship.

The Aussie has seen the weekend on six of his previous eight occasions, finishing fourth in 2008. His 2013 season continues to be a grind, making just one cut in 13 tries and missing his last four. It’s not a surprise that he’s 155th in strokes gained-putting, but that he has fallen to 173rd in ball-striking is a mild shock. It’s always been his tee-to-green game that’s propped him up.

Robert Allenby has never missed a cut in his eight prior trips to the Shell Houston Open, and needs that kind of success this week.

Allenby was the winner of the 2000 event, but his career is currently mired in a deep slump. He made his only cut out of eight tries at last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational. That it was a T72 doesn’t exactly qualify him as trending.

Robert Allenby swallowed a 5-over-par 35-41=76 in his opening round of the Northern Trust Open.

Back in action since a hip injury bumped him from the Farmers during his second round, the 2001 NTO champ hit only nine greens today. It led to six bogeys and a double, erasing three birdies on his first nine. He birdied holes 11 and 16 from 11'6" and 16'11", respectively, so his score could have been higher without those mid-range conversions. A year ago this week, he ranked 70th in the world. He entered this week slotted 227th. Over his last 20 starts worldwise, he's cashed only five times and has zero top 25s.

Robert Allenby is scheduled to compete in next week's Northern Trust Open.

The PGA TOUR's media department reported this. The Aussie has been sidelined since an injury to his left hip forced him to withdraw during his second round of the Farmers two weeks ago. He recorded one of his four PGA TOUR victories at Riviera, winning a six-man playoff in 2001. It was the first of seven top 20s at the tournament in his career, the most recent of which a T4 in 2011. Despite his success, he's done very little since to warrant much about which to get excited in fantasy formats.

Robert Allenby looks to bounce back from a 2012 that was below his standards, having made just 12 cuts in 27 events.

Fortunately for the Aussie, he scratched out a second-place finish to John Huh in a playoff at the Mayakoba Golf Classic or he would have ended up pondering a career money exemption or a trip to Q School. After a tie for seventh at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, he missed 10 of his last 13 cuts with nothing better than a T56 at the WGC-HSBC Champions to wrap up 2012. It was no surprise that he was 180th in strokes gained-putting, but the normally exceptional ball-striker ended up a meager 124th in that category. Looking ahead, his ball-striking has dropped off every year since 2008, when he was fourth on TOUR. That doesn’t bode well for him in 2013.

Robert Allenby has had a poor season by his standards, and looks to turn that around at the Frys.com Open.

The Aussie has amassed $26,401,701 in career earnings on the PGA TOUR, but just $801,807 has hit the bank in 2012. He's made just 11 of 24 cuts, with a playoff loss at the Mayakoba Golf Classic accounting for almost half of his money. He has never teed it up at CordeValle Golf Club, and the addition of the event demonstrates his sense of urgency to get his slump figured out.

Robert Allenby heads to the RBC Canadian Open to take on Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

Unfortunately for Allenby, he has not made a cut since the FedEx St. Jude Classic. While his 176th Strokes Gained-Putting ranking isn't necessarily a shocker, his 112th ball-striking stat is. While there is nothing on his stat sheet or current form to suggest a big week for the Aussie, you can never count the veteran out.

Robert Allenby claimed his second top 10 of the year when his final-round 1-under-par 34-35=69 was good enough for a share of seventh at 6-under 274.

The Aussie circled three birdies and swallowed two bogeys in his first nine holes before coming home with nine pars. While he landed 12 GIR, he needed 29 putts to the tune of a 1.833 average to navigate the TPC Southwind. He did not qualify for the U.S. Open.

Robert Allenby fired a 3-under-par 35-32=67 in the third round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic to join Dustin Johnson in the clubhouse at 5-under 205.

Allenby stepped on the 15th tee at even-par on the day, having offset his bogey on the seventh with a birdie on the following hole. He then went on a run, making birdie at 15, 16 and 17 before settling for par on the 18th. He landed 13 GIR while needing 28 putts to the tune of a 1.692 average to circle the TPC Southwind. He will attempt to claim his fifth PGA TOUR title, and first since 2001, on Sunday.

Robert Allenby carded a 2-under-par 35-33=68 in his opening round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic, finishing two strokes off of the clubhouse lead.

Allenby has posted six top 20 in his nine appearances at TPC Southwind to earn prominent placement on the poster for horses for courses at the track. He hit 13 greens in regulation today and buried five birdies, including conversions of 17'9" and 15'2", respectively. While he's 9-for-14 this season, his playoff loss at the Mayakoba still accounts for two-thirds of his earnings.

Robert Allenby will tee it up in the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

The Aussie has notched eight cuts in 12 attempts, but has slipped to 87th in ball-striking this year. He enters this week not having cracked a top 30 since his playoff loss at the Mayakoba Golf Classic. He did not compete in this event last season.

Robert Allenby turned in a 2-under-par 35-34=69 for his opening round of the Transitions Championship.

Good stuff for a guy with a broken nose. When Ben Everill of the Australian Associated Press tweeted that Allenby "will be fine to play through," he wasn't hyperbolizing. Allenby hit 13 greens and converted three birdies, two of which on par 5s.
