Scott Gardiner had himself an unusual day in his second-round, 1-over-par 35-38=73 on the host course of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
It's not every day that a touring professional finds all 14 fairways but hits only nine greens in regulation, but it happened to the Aussie today. He buried five birdies, including a 17'1" conversion at the par-5 18th hole, but wiped them off with four bogeys and an opening double at the par-4 10th. It could have been worse, too, as he needed a par attempt to drop from 10'10" to close at the par-4 ninth. Gardiner is 5-under 138, four strokes off the 36-hole clubhouse lead in relation to par. He'll wrap up his rotation at Spyglass Hill in the third round. Feb 7 - 6:43 PM

Scott Gardiner shot a 6-under-par 31-34=65 in his opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am at Monterey Peninsula Country Club's Shore Course.

Even with ball-in-hand today, this is a solid number. It's also his lowest (by three strokes) of 18 rounds this season. Gardiner missed only two (of 13) fairways and two greens in regulation en route to seven birdies before closing with a bogey-5 at the 18th hole. With only one payday in seven starts this season, he's not on anyone's radar, but he's flashed promise at times, especially in the Web.com Tour Finals where he bracketed that four-event series with top-threes. The Aussie will have a hand at the host course in Friday's second round.

Scott Gardiner was a rookie on the PGA TOUR in 2013, but failed to retain his playing privileges via the FedExCup standings or the money list.

Seemingly not bothered, Gardiner dropped down to the Web.com Tour Finals for four tournaments and easily earned a return trip with a T3 at the Hotel Fitness Championship and a T2 at the Web.com Tour Championship. It shouldn't be a surprise that he struggled to acclimate himself on TOUR in 2013 if you stop to consider his Web.com Tour history. He needed 199 starts on the junior circuit before earning the call up to the big leagues, suggesting it takes him a little while to reach a comfort zone. He made one of four cuts to start the new season, so his success in the Finals didn't seem to carry over.

Scott Gardiner has yet to make a cut in three starts this season, and now turns his attention towards the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.

Gardiner regained his PGA TOUR card in the Web.com Tour finals after an unsuccessful rookie season in 2013. Well, the 2013-14 run isn't shaping up to be much better at this rate. Only one of his six rounds has been under par.

Scott Gardiner emerged with the lead in the third round of the Web.com Tour Championship with a 5-under-par 31-34=65 moving him one clear of Joe Durant and Chesson Hadley at 10-under 200.

Gardiner's day started with a bang, as he eagled the par-5 opening hole. He would tack on five birdies to just two bogeys the rest of the way at Dye's Valley Course. The putter has been the key to his success, leading the tournament with a 1.553 average. He began the week 11th on the Web.com Finals money list and a virtual lock to return to the PGA TOUR in 2013-14. A win on Sunday could net him the top spot on that money list.

Scott Gardiner posted a 3-under-par 35-32=67 in his opening round of the Wyndham Championship, finishing three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

At 177th in FedExCup points and 179th in earnings, the rookie is up against the wall to avoid a trip to the Web.com Tour Finals. Even with today's effort, he'll need to dig even deeper to crack either top 125. It's a great start, however, as he offset a lone bogey with four birdies, including conversions from 27 feet at the second hole and 22'5" at the sixth. He also rattled home par save measuring 10'2" and 13 feet at Nos. 11 and 8, respectively. At the time he signed his card, Gardiner's strokes gained-putting split sat north of 2.900.

Scott Gardiner crafted a 6-under-par 29-37=66 in his opening round of the RBC Canadian Open and finished one stroke off the clubhouse lead.

The rookie has cashed just twice in his last 16 starts, but he's coming off a T35 in Mississippi. He tapped into that momentum early today, converting six consecutive birdies beginning at the second hole. The binge included rolls from 16'9", 25'10" and 20'2" at holes 3, 5 and 7, respectively. Overall, he split just five (of 14) fairways and hit 12 greens, but squared only one bogey en route to the lowest opening round in his brief PGA TOUR career.

The second round of the Sanderson Farms Championship was suspended for darkness.

Thursday's weather delay had already made it impossible for the 36-hole cut to fall tonight, so today's suspension due to inclement weather merely prevented anyone in the early-late draw from reaching the halfway point of the tournament. Sixty-one golfers have yet to log a score in the second round. All have completed at least three holes, including Scott Gardiner who is 1-under-par through 21 holes. He's trying to end an 0-for-6 slide. The PGA TOUR rookie has missed 14 of his last 15 cuts. Play is scheduled to resume at 7:00 a.m. CT on Saturday.

Scott Gardiner will play in his 17th event of 2013 at the Travelers Championship.

Gardiner has made just four cuts in his previous 16 starts, but two of them went for top 25s. Unfortunately for him, he's missed 11 of his last 12 cuts with a T22 at the Wells Fargo the only paycheck in the storm. He ranks outside the top 100 in virtually every major statistical category, so narrowing down his areas of concern are almost impossible.

Scott Gardiner smoothed a bogey-free, 5-under-par 31-36=67 in his second round of the Wells Fargo Championship to take outright possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 7-under 137.

Gardiner himself may admit that he didn't see this coming. He entered the week having missed eight consecutive cuts and without a sub-70 since mid-February. Today at Quail Hollow, he went 5-for-5 in scrambling and poured in all five of his birdies on the front nine, including four in a row beginning at the sixth hole. His longest conversions measured 18'6" at 1 and 25'7" at 6.

Scott Gardiner enters the Zurich Classic of New Orleans having missed his last seven cuts.

This is the first trip to TPC Louisiana for the rookie, but not much has gone right for him of late. His best finish of the season was his first, sharing 15th at the Sony Open. The last time he cashed a check was a T50 at Pebble Beach. Having never seen any of the courses in competition that he faces this season, it will be hard for him to find comfort and snap out of his slump.

Scott Gardiner was given the last sponsor exemption into this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The PGA TOUR's media department reported this. Gardiner was the 13th alternate when the field was released on Friday afternoon. He was the last of four to receive a tee time today via a sponsor exemption. The PGA TOUR rookie will be making his debut at Bay Hill. He's missed his last three cuts, all since the conclusion of the West Coast Swing. The field for the API is now complete at 132.

Scott Gardiner jumped out to a quick start in his rookie season, but needs to find a spark at the Puerto Rico Open to get things moving in the right direction again.

Gardiner was a part of the conversation at the Sony Open before fading to a share of 15th. Since that week, he’s made half of his four cuts with a T50 the best finish. Perhaps a weaker field in Puerto Rico is just what the doctor ordered. At 32nd in ball-striking, it’s his 124th ranking in strokes gained-putting that seems to be holding him back.

Scott Gardiner followed up his second-round 64 with a 5-under-par 32-33=65 in the third round of the Sony Open.

Gardiner took his time reaching the PGA TOUR, but is playing like a guy that wouldn't mind sticking around for a while. He went 13 holes and five birdies, two coming from outside of ten feet, before finally suffering his first bogey of the round at the par-4 14th. He would lay low for a few holes before ending his round in style with a birdie on the easy par-5 18th. He enters the final round of his first TOUR event at 13-under 197.

Scott Gardiner posted a 6-under-par 34-30=64 in his second round of the Sony Open in Hawaii.

The rookie recorded a round that will help prolong the adage that golf is a funny game. After a lackluster opening eight holes during which he carded seven pars around a bogey-5 at the third hole, Gardiner holed an eagle and seven birdies coming in. The show began at the par-5 ninth with the eagle from seven and a half feet. He then circled birdies at 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 18. A double bogey at the par-4 16th prevented a sub-30 inward nine. Four conversions during that stretch measured at least 10 feet; the highlight was a zero-putt six-yarder from off the green at 11. However, despite the theatrics, his longest conversion of the round was a par save from 19'6" at the second hole. Remember that this is the Aussie first career start in a PGA TOUR event.
