Russell Knox fired a 5-under-par 34-32=66 in the second round of the Stadion Classic at UGA to claim a share of the 36-hole lead with Michael Putnam at 7-under 135.
Knox opened his day on the 10th hole with a bogey, but played the remaining 17 holes in bogey-free fashion. His first birdie was a bounce back at 11, adding birdies at 14, 16 before turning. He would tack on birdies at four, six and eight. Though he missed the cut at last week's South Georgia Classic, his previous two Web.com Tour starts were top 15s. While there is still plenty of golf to be played, he is attempting to notch his second Web.com Tour title. May 3 - 9:39 PM

Russell Knox picked up a rare start at this week’s Valero Texas Open.

Playing this season with conditional status, Knox has been limited to just three starts to date. After a missed cut at the Sony Open, he finished inside the top 40 at Pebble Beach and in Puerto Rico. He’s also made each of his three cuts on the Web.com Tour, with a T13 in Louisiana in his last start proving the best.

Overnight co-leader Russell Knox settled for a 1-over-par 36-37=73 at Spyglass Hill in his second round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

He opened with a birdie at the par-5 first hole, but went on to record four bogeys while picking up just two more birdies. He reached the midpoint in 5-under 137, three strokes adrift of the early 36-hole clubhouse lead. Knox will wrap up his rotation at the host course on Saturday.

Russell Knox crafted a 6-under-par 33-31=64 at Monterey Peninsula Country Club's Shore Course in his opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am to snare outright possession of the clubhouse lead.

The Scot is making his season debut this week and does so on conditional status. Therefore, it's unlikely that we'd see him again until Puerto Rico in four weeks. Of course, a top 10 would exempt him into next week's stop at Riviera and a win would bust open his opportunities through 2014-15, but that's jumping ahead. For now, he'll take a day that featured eight birdies against two bogeys. The 64 also matches his aggregate low on TOUR. Knox will move over to play Spyglass Hill in Friday's second round.

Russell Knox missed the cut at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, but will give it another go this week.

Knox is teeing it up with conditional status in 2013, meaning the pressure is on if he hopes to grab enough FedExCup points in minimal starts to secure status for 2014. In his 2012 venture to the Monterey Peninsula, he regressed in each of his three rounds after an opening 68.

Russell Knox vaulted up the leaderboard in the final round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic with his 5-under-par 32-35=67, but back-to-back bogeys to close out his round will cost him a PGA TOUR card for 2013.

The rookie had the round of the day going when he stepped on the 17th tee, and was projected to move from 156th on the money list up to 120th. After leaving his approach in a greenside bunker, he hit what looked to be a spectacular sand shot. With the wind at his back, the ball looked like it would come to rest a few feet from the cup, but trickled out to 17'3" before coming to rest on the collar. The resulting bogey meant he likely had to birdie the difficult 18th to earn a card, but he was too agressive with his birdie effort and settled for a three-putt bogey an 11-under 277. The good knews for Knox is he can skip Q School's second stage and head to the finals with conditional status on the PGA TOUR in 2013, as well as full status on the 2013 Web.com Tour, should he maintain his projected position inside the top 150 on the money list.

Russell Knox settled for a 2-under-par 34-35=69 in the final round of the Frys.com Open to finish the week at 12-under 272, earning his first top 10.

The rookie circled four birdies and squared two bogeys in his last lap around CordeValle Golf Club, landing 16 GIR but needing 33 putts. The ball-striking was solid all week, as he split 73.2 percent of his fairways and found 75 percent of his GIR. His previous best finish was a tie for 13th last week at TPC Summerlin. He looks to stay on a roll at The McGladrey Classic, where he in in the published field.

Russell Knox fired a bogey-free 6-under-par 32-33=65 in the third round of the Frys.com Open, improving to 10-under 203.

The rookie needs a big week, as he entered CordeValle Golf Club 173rd on the money list with precious few opportunities remaining to improve his standing. He jumped out to a solid start with a birdie from 23'11" on the par-3 third. He would add birdies on the eight, ninth, 11th, 15th and 17th on his return trip to the clubhouse. His final birdie on the par-4 17th came when he drove the ball over the green and splashed out of the sand to 5'10". His ball-striking was excellent, with his only missed fairway coming at the 17th, while also landing 16 GIR.

Russell Knox posted a 3-under-par 35-33=68 in the third round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open to reach the 54-hole mark tied for sixth at 12-under 201.

The rookie is in the midst of a disappointing season that has him 188th on the money list, with $164,734 in earnings. With a lone top 25 coming in the form of a T21 at the True South Classic, he has a chance at a career week should he card a solid final round. After hitting every GIR in the second round, he found 16 in the third round and is tied for the field lead with 88.9 percent for the week. Add to that, he's tied for second with 71.4 percent of his drives finding the fairways. If his ball-striking keeps up for the rest of the season, he may accomplish the unlikely and retain his TOUR card.

Russell Knox is 6-under-par 68-66=134 through two rounds of the RBC Canadian Open and sits five strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

The rookie has hit 30 greens in regulation at Hamilton Golf & Country Club this week en route to an eagle and seven birdies. Today's round featured three birdies, including conversions from 11'2" and 11'4" at the fifth and 15th holes, respectively. That set the stage for his eagle-3 that disappeared from 26'9" at 17. Knox has started similarly strong at New Orleans and Greenbier but his only top 25 among five paydays in 16 starts occurred at last week's True South Classic (T21). Beware the weekend fade from the Scot.

Russell Knox needs to find his form quickly as the TOUR heads to West Virginia for The Greenbrier Classic.

The Web.com Tour grad has only cashed in three of his 13 starts, and he's missed his last four cuts. He looked to have gotten things on track when he followed up a T41 at the Valero Texas Open with a T30 in New Orleans, but he was unable to sustain the moderate success. This is his first trip to The Old White TPC.

Russell Knox spun an 8-under-par 31-33=64 in his second round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, becoming the second golfer today to match the course record at TPC Louisiana.

Greg Chalmers beat Knox to the punch earlier; they join Kyle Reifers (2007), Troy Matteson (2009) and Dean Wilson (2011) in the annals. Knox, a rookie on the PGA TOUR, hit 16 greens and needed just 27 putts during his record loop. He rolled in seven birdies, four of which measuring over 10 feet, including conversions of 18'9" and 20'1" at the 11th and seventh holes, respectively, but the highlight was an eagle from 19'4" at the par-5 18th. The Scot also poured in a par save from 12'11" at the second. He reached the midpoint in 11-under 133 and sits one stroke adrift of Jason Dufner's 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Russell Knox has been added to the published field of this week's Shell Houston Open.

Knox was the seventh alternate at the beginning of the week, but gained entry this morning when Chris Kirk withdrew. The timing couldn't be better for the rookie who's 1-for-6 this year. The SHO is the last tournament in the second phase of the reshuffle. A solid week at Redstone would go a long way of paving out the remainder of his schedule.
