David Lingmerth fought for an even-par 36-36=72 in the final round of THE PLAYERS, taking Tiger Woods to the brink before falling into a tie for second at 11-under 277.

The rookie battled all day, never moving more than a stroke above or below par on his last lap around TPC Sawgrass. He was one of several players let back in the tournament after Tiger Woods made a double bogey on the par-4 14th, and was the only one that still had a shot to tie him on the 72nd hole. After his his playing partner, Sergio Garcia, deposited his first of two balls in the water on 17, Lingmerth stuffed his approach to 7'7" but missed the putt. With Woods safely in the clubhouse at 13-under, Lingmerth needed a birdie on the 18th to force a playoff. Facing a putt of 61'2", he gave it a valiant run past the hole then missed the par coming back. Perhaps the best news is that he's locked up his PGA TOUR card for 2013-2014 and a return trip for next season.

David Lingmerth finished off a 3-under-par 35-34=69 in the third round of THE PLAYERS with a bogey on the 18th hole Sunday morning, but leads the tournament at 11-under 205.

Lingmerth faced his share of adversity in his third lap around TPC Sawgrass, but immediately bounced back from three of his four bogeys on the very next hole. The only one he was unable to recover from fell at the 18th, which happened to be the only one he had to finish on Sunday. In all, he circled five birdies and an eagle while squaring four bogeys. The highlight of his round was an eagle from 8'2" on the par-5 16th.

David Lingmerth matched his opening 68 at THE PLAYERS in his second round to reach the halfway point in 8-under 136.

Lingmerth turned in respective nines of 35 and 33 today. He hit just 10 greens in regulation but buried five birdies, none longer than six feet. His only bogey of the round occurred at the par-4 18th where he short-sided his approach right of the green and eventually whiffed on the par attempt from 10'9". He'll wake up on Saturday sitting three strokes off the 36-hole lead.

David Lingmerth shot a 4-under-par 33-35=68 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS.

The rookie from Sweden has done nothing since losing in a playoff at the Humana Challenge. He's missed eight of his last 10 cuts, including his last five, and hasn't finished better than T50 at Bay Hill. Today he split 13 (of 14) fairways and hit 13 greens in regulation en route to five birdies and one bogey. His most interesting experience occurred at the par-4 14th and 15th holes. After saving par from 22'3" at the former, he holed out from six yards just off the green for birdie at the latter. Lingmerth signed his card sitting five strokes off the clubhouse lead.

David Lingmerth looks to snap a streak of four missed cuts in his first trip to the Wells Fargo Championship.

The rookie has fallen on hard times after a quick start saw him fall in a playoff to Brian Gay in the Humana Challenge. With the exception of driving accuracy (36th) he ranks outside the top 100 in almost every major statistical category. While Quail Hollow’s fairways are hard to find, making driving accuracy a welcomed skill, it is a complete test of golf that Lingmerth’s game doesn't look ready to handle.

David Lingmerth will make his first stop at the Shell Houston Open.

The rookie has made his last two cuts, including a T50 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, to snap a mini slump of three consecutive missed cuts. At 118th in driving distance, it’s questionable if Redstone GC’s lengthy layout will be a good fit. He’s probably not worth a flier for anything other than possibly making the cut.

David Lingmerth heads to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for his first crack at The Honda Classic.

The rookie made plenty of noise with his playoff loss at the Humana Challenge, but failed to cash in his two starts since. One thing is for sure. With $526,008 in earnings already, he won't have any problems getting plenty of starts and remaining high in the reshuffle. The flat stick seems to be his strength, ranking 10th in strokes gained-putting.

David Lingmerth lit up the Palmer Private Course at PGA West with a 10-under-par 30-32=62 to stake his claim to the lead in the clubhouse, but fell in the first hole of a playoff with Charles Howell III and Brian Gay with a bogey in the first hole of sudden death.

The rookie had never played a PGA TOUR event before last week's Sony Open, is wasting no time acclimating himself to life on golf's biggest stage. After a share of 31st last week, he's taken things even deeper this week with a 25-under 68-64-69-62=263. For the week, he circled 28 birdies, one eagle and handed back just five bogeys. He will continue his assault on the West Coast at Torrey Pines for the Farmers Insurance Open.

David Lingmerth torched PGA West's Nicklaus Private for 10 birdies in his second-round, 31-33=64 at the Humana Challenge.

And that included a par on the par-5 fourth hole. The rookie started on the 10th hole and circled six of his birdies before the turn. He'd swallow one bogey on both sides, however. Combined with his opening 68, he's at 12-under 132 at the midpoint, just two strokes in arrears of the 36-hole clubhouse co-leaders. Look for him at Palmer Private for Saturday's third round.

David Lingmerth is a veteran of 52 Web.com Tour events, but will be teeing it up on the PGA TOUR for the first time at the Sony Open.

The Swede, by way of Arkansas, was a winner on the Web.com Tour in 2012 at the Neediest Kids Championship. While he only cashed in 14 of 26 events, 10 went for top 25s and five were top 10s. His stats were steady across the board, but he failed to show a strength we can hang our hat on.

David Lingmerth fired a final-round 4-under-par 33-33=66 to claim the Neediest Kids Championship on the Web.com Tour at 8-under 272, one stroke ahead of Casey Wittenberg.

Lingmerth entered the final round in a tie for eighth, then posted a number early and watched as nobody was able to catch him. It was the third time the Swede fired a 66, with the only other score a 74 in the third round. He tied for second in putting with a 1.660 average. The win boosts his 2012 Web.com Tour earnings to $249,043, good for seventh on the money list and locking up what will be his rookie season on the PGA TOUR in 2013.
