Rory Sabbatini stubbed his toe with a double bogey on the par-3 fourth hole in the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic but rebounded to finish at 2-under-par 36-32=68.
Sabbatini did the majority of his damage on TPC Southwind's par 4s, cirlcing birdies at the sixth, 10th and 12th before adding a fourth birdie at the par-5 16th. This has been a big week for him on multiple fronts. On Monday, he qualified for the U.S. Open and he now has a chance to nab his second top 10 (and top 25) of the season depending on how things shake out in the final hours of the St. Jude. He ends his week at 6-under 274. Jun 9 - 3:59 PM

Rory Sabbatini will tee it up in his 14th Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Sabbatini emerged as the winner in the 2007 edition and has only twice missed the cut. This could be just what the doctor ordered, as he currently ranks 132nd in the FedExCup standings. Since a T9 at the RBC Heritage in April, he's missed two cuts and failed to crack a top 40 in four starts.

Rory Sabbatini navigated a windy day at the RBC Heritage in even-par 35-36-71 to pick up his first top 25 of the season.

The Texan by way of South Africa is used to blustery conditions, and that training came in handy around Harbour Town in Sunday's final round. His play had been trending well, with top 30s in Puerto Rico and Tampa Bay before a lengthy break. He will leave Hilton Head at 3-under 281 and head to the Zurich Classic of New Orleans where he tied for second in 2009.

Rory Sabbatini has opened the RBC Heritage with a pair of 2-under-par 69s.

Sabbatini holed five birdies on Thursday, but none from beyond 10 feet. Today's loop around Harbour Town, he hit 11 greens in regulation and converted three birdies, including rolls from 15'1" and 11'8" at Nos. 15 and 18. He also limited the damage from mediocre iron play to one bogey, picking off par saves from 12 feet at 16 and 16'11" at 2. He held an early share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead when he signed his scorecard.

Rory Sabbatini hopes to draw on a solid course history at Harbour Town in this week’s RBC Heritage.

The South African has suffered through a rocky 2013, making just four of eight cuts without a top 25. He’s made the cut here three out of four times, with the last three all resulting in T17s or better. A laid back Hilton Head may be the perfect atmosphere to snap out of a 2013 slump.

Rory Sabbatini has limped out of the gates in 2013, but hopes to remedy that at this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

While the veteran has secured two cuts in three attempts to start the year, he's failed to convert either into anything better than a T49 last week at TPC Scottsdale. His history here has been feast-or-famine, making five cuts in 11 trips with each going for 15th or better. The highlight was a runner-up in 2006. With his form what it is, the lean would be for him to favor a missed cut over a top 15 this week.

Rory Sabbatini missed more cuts (16) than he made (13) in 2012 but salvaged his season with a tie for second at the Memorial Tournament.

The season started with some promise, as the South African finished inside the top 30 in his first three starts before spiraling into a slump that he could never fully shake. He ranked outside the top 100 in most relevant statistical categories, including a 169th clip in strokes gained-putting. It’s hard to imagine a player of his caliber struggling this mightily for a second year, so there is hope he will bounce back in 2013.

Rory Sabbatini posted a steady 3-under-par 34-33=67 in the third round of The McGladrey Classic, improving to 9-under 201 for the tournament.

The South African navigated the Seaside Course with four birdies to just one bogey, which fell at the par-4 ninth when he flew his approach from the fairway over the green and failed to convert an 11'2" par attempt. He entered the week having failed to cash a check in his last seven starts, but three rounds in the 60s have him searching for his third top 10 of the season in Sunday's final round.

Rory Sabbatini carded an even-par 34-37=71 in his opening round of the Frys.com Open.

It was just four days ago that the South African walked off TPC Summerlin during his final round of the JT Shriners with discomfort in his lower back, so today's effort is welcome. He landed only 10 greens in regulation at CordeValle, but sank five birdies, including respective rolls from 23'4" and 23'9" at hole 13 and 14. Sabbatini also poured in a par save from 25'6" at the third hole. However, he exited having triple-bogeyed the par-4 18th where his drive found trouble. He wouldn't reach the green until his fifth stroke.

Rory Sabbatini spun a bogey-free, 6-under-par 31-34=65 in his opening round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, finishing four strokes back of the clubhouse lead.

The South African has endured an odd year, missing 14 of 25 cuts, including each of his last five. He's also post one co-runner-up and hit $1.1 million in earnings, this all the while griding through swing modification with Randy Smith. Today at TPC Summerlin, he hit 14 greens and rolled in six birdies, including respective conversions from 19'7 and 12'7" at the 11th and 18th holes. The 65 ties his season-low round (final round; John Deere).

Rory Sabbatini limps into the Deutsche Bank Championship having missed his last four cuts.

Sabbatini ranks 94th in the current FedExCup Standings and has played in every stop at the TPC Boston since 2007, when he tied for seventh. Since then, he has three missed cuts and a T68. Raking 167th in GIR and 155th in Strokes Gained-Putting adds up to a poor formula for success on any course.

Rory Sabbatini spun a 6-under-par 32-33=65 in the final round of the John Deere Classic to finish the week at 12-under 272.

The South African was bogey-free through 17 holes, but suffered a 3-putt bogey on the last. The blemish on the closing hole was not surprising, as he failed to record anything better than a bogey on the 18th all week. He landed 16 GIR and needed 28 putts for his final tour of TPC Deere Run. He is not currently in the field for any event next week.

Rory Sabbatini settled for an even-par 37-35=72 in the final round of the Memorial to finish the week in a tie for second at 7-under 281 with Andres Romero and two strokes behind Tiger Woods.

Sabbatini circled three birdies and squared three bogeys in a round where found 12 GIR, but needed 30 putts to navigate Muirfield Village. He stepped on the tee at the par-5 15th at 8-under and split the fairway, but a wayward approach forced him to settle for par. He then bogeyed the 16th before parring out. He is not scheduled to compete at the upcoming FedEx St. Jude Classic.
