Stephen Ames posted a 5-under-par 31-36=67 in his opening round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, finishing three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Ames will turn 49 years of age on Sunday, but he dialed back the clock today. Fully exempt through this season on a multiple-win exemption, he hit 13 greens and drilled home seven birdies, six of which on his first eight holes. After a bogey-5 to start his round at 1, he'd go on to roll in birdies from 19'9" at 3, 22'1" at 5 and 22'3" at 6. The blitz also included a 12-footer at No. 7.

Stephen Ames is set to return to Harbour Town for the RBC Heritage.

This has been a consistently good venue for Ames, making nine of his 10 cuts with back-to-back top 10s in 2004/2005. He enters this week off of his third profitable start of the 2013 campaign, sharing 30th in Tampa Bay a month ago. Ranking second in strokes gained-putting, he could feast on the small greens in Hilton Head if his irons give him opportunities.

Stephen Ames signed for a 3-over-par 39-34=73 following his opening round of The Honda Classic.

Two weeks ago today, Ames walked off Riviera with a back injury during his first round of the Northern Trust Open. His first hole today set the tone for his return. He needed four shots to reach the green at the par-4 10th hole where he'd go on to record his first of two double bogeys. He added bogeys at holes 12, 15 and 16. However, his putter cooperated time and again throughout the round. Ames holed a par save from 12'11" at the 13th, and then poured in respective birdies from 41'11", 16'1" and 33'4" at Nos. 2, 3 and 5 coming in. Overall, he hit 11 greens and circled four birdies.

Stephen Ames is listed in the published field of next week's Honda Classic.

Ames withdrew during his opening round of last week's Northern Trust Open with a back injury. It's nothing new for the 48-year-old. Despite a somewhat inspiring start to his year, the depth of the field at PGA National doesn't warrant even a flier on him.

Stephen Ames withdrew during his opening round of the Northern Trust Open, citing a back injury.

Ames started his round with an eagle at the par-5 first hole, but he reached the turn in 3-over-par 38. He then found the expansive fairway off the tee at the 10th before walking off. He dealt with a back injury last year, so this isn't a new malady. After opening this season with a pair of paydays, he's now gone 0-for-3.

Stephen Ames looks to get back to his successful ways of his first two starts at this week's Northern Trust Open.

Ames started off the year clicking on all cynlinders, notching a T20 at the Sony Open and a T37 at the Humana Challenge. Since then, he's missed his last two cuts. His history at Riviera is eerily similar. He made his first five cuts, but since then has seen the weekend just once in five tries including two W/Ds. It's hard to be too optimistic about his chances.

Stephen Ames chased his opening 65 at the Sony Open in Hawaii with a 3-under-par 33-34=67 in his second round to establish the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 8-under 132.

Ames poured in six birdies today, four of which from beyond 10 feet, including conversions of 15'6" and 16'2" at the sixth and eighth holes, respectively. He also sustained three bogeys to leave the door open at the top of the leaderboard. Still, that he's started 2013 so strongly is impressive. He just might develop into a nifty pick-up at some point.

Stephen Ames toured Waialae Country Club in his opening round of the Sony Open in Hawaii in bogey-free, 5-under-par 31-34=65 to sit one stroke off the clubhouse lead.

This is kind of out of nowhere. Ames hasn't posted a top 25 in 16 starts and he hadn't carded a round this low since a 65 in the third round of the Shriners in early October of 2011. He landed 14 greens today and buried five birdies including rolls from 10'4" at the 10th hole and 26'11" at 6. The 48-year-old is fully exempt through by virtue of his victory at Disney in 2009; it extended his multiple-victory exemption through 2013.

Stephen Ames has been removed from the published field of this week's Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic.

Ames won this tournament in 2007 and 2009, so course history buffs will be disappointed that he's no longer available this week, not that he'd have been a viable option anyway. He's cashed in just seven of 20 starts with two top 25s, both occurring in his four starts. He's currently 186th on the money list, but he's fully exempt through 2013. Ames will turn 50 years of age in April of 2014.

He ranks 184th in the all-around category, demonstrating his struggles this year have been across the board.

Stephen Ames turns his attention to the RBC Canadian Open in desperate need of a strong finish.

The Canadian by way of Trinidad hasn't cracked a top 60 since the RBC Heritage and has missed the weekend in six of his last seven tries. Ames ranks 93rd in Strokes Gained-Putting, and that is as good as it gets on his stat sheet in the major categories.

Stephen Ames earned entry into the U.S. Open via a sectional qualifier, but his game in not in the best of form.

The Canadian by way of Trinidad last made a cut at the Valero Texas Open in April, and has missed his last four. The five (of 13) times where he has managed to see the weekend, he's held on for top 30 finishes in three of them. His struggles in 2012 have been in most phases of his game, as evident by his 130th all-around ranking.
