Nicolas Colsaerts posted a 5-under-par 34-33=67 in the final round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans to conclude the week at 13-under 275.
Colsaerts' rookie season on TOUR has been a bit of a struggle to this point, still trying to find his first top 10 in a stroke play event in 2013. He's given himself a chance with a holed bunker shot from 31 yards for eagle on the par-5 18th. He now heads to Quail Hollow for the Wells Fargo Championship, where he hopes to continue the momentum he's found in New Orleans. Apr 28 - 4:29 PM

Nicolas Colsaerts will bring his power to Augusta National for the first time as a Masters rookie.

The Muscles from Brussels will be licking his chops on the tee boxes of the moderate par 5s and lengthy par 4s, but his game must stand up to the rigors of undulating greens. Should he control his wedges and miss in the correct spots, he has the game to be a contender for the green jacket for years to come. For now, he must acclimate himself with the course and begin to unlock the key to success at the season’s first major.

Nicolas Colsaerts turned in the round of the day at the time of his posting, with a 5-under-par 33-34=67 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

Colsaerts was bogey-free through 17 holes, but was bitten on the difficult 18th hole of TPC Blue Monster at Doral by a bogey. Other than that, it was a flawless round on what is shaping up to be the most difficult day of scoring in the season's second WGC event. Having yet to record a top-40 finish in a PGA TOUR stroke-play event this season, his play this week is a mild surprise. He enters the final round a 7-under 209.

For the second straight day, Nicolas Colsaerts had little trouble in advancing in the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, this time defeating Justin Rose 4 and 2 in the second round.

The Hogan Bracket competitors shared victory at the Ryder Cup, but only one could survive today. Rose earned his only lead of the match with a birdie at the first hole, but Colsaerts evened it with a birdie of his own at 2. Thereafter, the Belgian circled six wins against two, completing 16 holes in 5-under-par. He clinched a spot in the third round with a par at the par-3 16th hole. Up next is Ryder Cup foe, Matt Kuchar.

Nicolas Colsaerts didn't play his best but he still logged a 5-and-4 victory over Bill Haas in the Hogan Bracket in the opening round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

This was one of those examples of the beauty of heads-up match play. The Belgian completed 14 holes in just 1-under-par but circled six wins during two-day lid-lifter, five of them with pars. Haas shot 4-over en route to his early exit. Now that he's survived his bout with the formerly surging Haas, Colsaerts emerges as a potential bracket buster. He showcased his talent at the Ryder Cup last year and he's the reigning champion of the Volvo World Match Play Championship on the European Tour. He'll face the winner of Justin Rose v. K.J. Choi in Friday's round of 32.

Nicolas Colsaerts posted a 6-under-par 32-33=65 in his opening round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, finishing one stroke off the early clubhouse lead.

The Belgian hit 15 greens and incurred only one bogey despite two penalties on the round. First, after rinsing his tee ball at the par-5 15th hole, he'd eventually pour in a par save from 11'1". Later, he'd drive into an unplayable lie at the par-4 first where his 17-footer for par failed to drop. He converted five birdies, including a pair from just outside 11 feet, but the highlight of the round was an eagle putt from 63'7" at the drivable par-4 17th.

Nicolas Colsaerts will make his 2013 PGA TOUR debut at the Farmers Insurance Open.

While this is his first PGA TOUR event of the year, he finished tied for ninth at the recent Volvo Golf Championships on the European Tour. Given that result, his form indicates him to be a sneaky play at Torrey Pines. Given the length of the South Course, it’s certainly possible that a guy with a nickname like the Belgian Bomber could stand to be at an advantage.

Nicolas Colsaerts earned his PGA TOUR card by finishing inside the top 125 on the non-member earnings list.

The bomber cashed in eight of his nine attempts in PGA TOUR events, including ties for seventh at The Open Championship and the Wyndham Championship. Like most International golfers moving their game to the United States, the adjustment for Colsaerts will be setting a schedule of events that fit his game and allows him an adequate number of starts in Europe. He will have an advantage when length is important.

Once the dust settled after the conclusion of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, Nicolas Colsaerts finished inside the top 125 in non-member earnings.

Colsaerts banked $677,011 in nine starts. That was $29,501 greater than what Kevin Chappell earned at 125th on the money list. Colsaerts is expected to accept PGA TOUR membership -- all eligible golfers are given a 30-day window beginning today to decide -- so his fantasy value will skyrocket in 2013. Given that he's 34th in the world ranking, he'll project to play in all of the majors, World Golf Championships and THE PLAYERS. What's more, he'll be a rookie along with fellow Ryder Cup teammate, Peter Hanson.

Nicolas Colsaerts followed his opening 65 at the Frys.com Open with a 3-under-par 34-34=68 to establish the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 9-under 133.

For most intents and purposes, the Belgian is having his way with CordeValle Golf Club. After burying six birdies on Thursday, he rolled in another five today to lead the field with 11 at the time he signed his card today. Overall, he hit 14 greens in his second round. Although he played his last 11 holes bogey-free, his only birdie during that stretch rolled in from 27'4" at the seventh hole.

Nicolas Colsaerts enjoyed his first loop of CordeValle Golf Club today, touring in bogey-free, 6-under-par 31-34=65 to earn a share of the clubhouse lead of the Frys.com Open.

Well, that was somewhat easy. He split 10 (of 14) fairways, hit 13 greens and required only 25 putts to match Jhonattan Vegas atop the leaderboard. He sank all but one putt inside 14 feet, but still poured in six birdies, only one of which from beyond nine feet (11'9", eighth hole). He averaged 308.5 yards on the two measured holes (6 and 14) and signed his card ranked 10th in Strokes Gained-Putting with a clip north of 2.470.

Nicolas Colsaerts has accepted Special Temporary Membership [STM] on the PGA TOUR.

The more important news is that he's accepted a sponsor exemption into next week's Frys.com Open. In actuality, STM is irrelevant. Non-members are capped at 12 starts plus THE PLAYERS, but Colsaerts has made only eight, and just three events remain beginning with the Frys.com. Furthermore, while non-members are limited to seven sponsor exemptions, he's needed only two this season. He's banked $652K in non-member earnings and would sit 119th on the money list. Certainly, the goal is to finish inside the top 125 and secure a 2013 PGA TOUR card. Short of that and he resets as a typical non-member.

Nicolas Colsaerts and Lee Westwood outlasted Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker 1 up in afternoon four-ball at the 39th Ryder Cup.

All you need to know is that the long-hitting rookie from Belgium converted an eagle and eight birdies to single-handedly defeat the Americans. Colsaerts was so dominant in his debut that Westwood contributed just four pars to the 18-hole affair at Medinah Country Club. Woods won all four holes for the U.S. but Colsaerts won five, one with an eagle at the par-5 10th and four birdies. He and Stricker halved the 18th with pars, giving the Euros their only point of the session. After one day, the U.S. leads Europe, 5-3.

Nicolas Colsaerts was added to the European Ryder Cup team this morning by virtue of a captain's pick.

Captain Jose Maria Olazabal exhausted one of his two selections on the Belgian currently ranked 35th in the world. Colsaerts has recorded nine top 10s worldwide this year, including a victory at the Volvo World Match Play Championship in May. He will be the only rookie on the European squad. "He's had a very solid season, and on top of that, he's made the extra effort trying to make the team," Olazabal said. "He really showed me that he wants to be a part of that team. Those are the reasons for me to pick him."

Nicolas Colsaerts cracked the top 10 at the Wyndham Championship thanks to a final-round 4-under-par 32-34=66 that improved him to 13-under 267.

The Belgian entered the week two spots outside of the European Ryder Cup team's automatic top 10 and responded. Unfortunately for him, Sergio Garcia was one spot ahead of him and won. The bomber stayed true to the strength of his game, leading the tournament with a 323.9 average off the tee. Since he is not a member of the PGA TOUR, he will not compete in the FedExCup playoffs.
