Brian Gay will compete in his 14th HP Byron Nelson Championship this week.
Gay's best finish in this event was a T2 in 2010, trailing only Jason Day. His win at the Humana Challenge in January remains his only top 10 of 2013. While it's certainly possible that he contends this week, the odds are slightly stacked against him. May 14 - 11:34 PM

Brian Gay was your 2009 RBC Heritage champion and is back again this year.

Gay is already a winner in 2013, bringing home the hardware at the Humana Challenge early in the season. When he won at Harbour Town in ’09, he set a tournament scoring record of 20-under 264 in the process. We know he is one of the best putters on TOUR every year. If he hits enough GIR, then this is a course where he can shoot the lights out.

Brian Gay has never missed the Tampa Bay Championship, and returns for the 13th time this week.

Gay has seen the weekend on eight of those occasions, with a T4 in 2007 his best finish. Since his win at the Humana Challenge earlier this year, things have cooled off for the smooth putter. Perhaps a return to the state where he played his college golf will be just what his game needs to ramp back up.

Brian Gay has been removed from the published field of this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

After taking a week off following his playoff victory at the Humana Challenge, Gay tied for 24th at last week's Waste Management Phoenix Open. Since he's currently second in FedExCup points and poised to qualify for the WGC-Cadillac Championship (top 10 in FEC points on March 4 are exempt), it's possible that he's starting to adjust his schedule to avoid fatigue.

Brian Gay chased his opening 65 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open with a 5-under-par 32-34=66 in his second round.

He's in some kind of groove right now. He hit 16 greens today and rolled in six birdies, including respective conversions from 10'8" and 13'5" at holes 4 and 9. His only blemish of the round was a bogey-4 at the par-3 12th where he logged one of his two missed GIR. Dating back to his second round of the Sony Open, Gay has nine consecutive sub-70 scores, none higher than a 68.

Brian Gay turned in a 6-under-par 35-30=65 for his opening round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, finishing five strokes back of the clubhouse lead.

Fresh off his victory at the Humana Challenge 11 days ago, Gay remained red-hot today. He hit 15 greens in regulation and rolled in eight birdies, seven of which from beyond 11 feet. The most notable of the bunch measured 19'10" at 18 and 30'6" at 7. He opened on the 10th hole and bogeyed holes 12 and 14 before righting the ship.

Brian Gay signed for a bogey-free 9-under-par 30-33=63 to join David Lingmerth and Charles Howell III in a playoff at the Humana Challenge that he would eventually win with birdies on each of the two playoff holes.

Gay was a bulldog, quickly pouncing on 54-hole leader Scott Stallings with nine birdies on his first 13 holes. Just when a 59 watch was in full swing, Gay cooled down the stretch with pars on his final five holes. He had a chance to end things in regulation but failed to convert a 7'9" birdie attempt on the par-5 18th. Things would be different in the playoff as he would roll in a birdie ahead of CH3 at the par-5 18th after Lingmerth was already out of the hole. Moving on to the par-4 10th, Gay hit is approach close after Howell III was in a bunker. Gay only needed to 2-putt from 5'3" for his fourth TOUR win. When he rolled in the birdie, he secured a berth in the Masters, PGA Championship, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

Brian Gay signed for a 5-under-par 35-32=67 in the third round of the Humana Challenge to reach the 16-under 200 mark.

Gay has been a master of minimizing mistakes, squaring just two bogeys for the week. In his third round on the Palmer Course, he circled six birdies to just one blemish. On the heels of a T31 at the Sony Open, he enters the final round with a chance to post an even better week in his second start of 2013.

At first glance Brian Gay's 2012 looked similar to 2011, but on closer examination he experienced a decline.

Gay made 18 cuts and nabbed three top 10s in each of his last two seasons, but his top 25s dropped from nine in 2011 to four in 2012. The strength of his game has always been the putter, ranking fourth in strokes gained in 2012, putting all of the pressure on his ball-striking. At 177th in driving distance, there are only so many courses in which he can be a factor.

Brian Gay posted a steady 2-under-par 36-34=70 in the final round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic to finish the week alone in fourth at 13-under 275.

The Florida Gator was right at home in Disney, circling 21 birdies and leading the field in strokes gained-putting. This marks his best finish, and third top 10 of the season, in what has been a year slightly below his lofty standards. This was his first top 25 since sharing fourth at the Valero Texas Open in April, and he heads into the off season on a high note.

Brian Gay settled for a 5-under-par 34-33=67 in the third round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic despite a pair of bogeys late in the round.

Gay circled two birdies on his outward nine, but caught fire to rattle off birdies on his first five holes on the back. He would then surrender bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes before saving par the 18th. His putter was a rock, needing just 23 putts to the tune of a 1.40 average despite landing just 10 GIR. He enters the finale at 11-under 205.

Brian Gay followed his opening 65 at The McGladrey Classic with a 2-under-par 35-33=68 in his second round to reach the midpoint in 7-under 133, good for early possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Despite his spot atop the leaderboard and the fact that he converted all but one chance inside 10 feet today, Gay might feel like he left a bunch of strokes on the course. He went a mere 3-for-17 in birdie opportunities today, racking up 33 putts. He's missed only three greens all week, but he'll need to circle more birdies to have a reasonable run at a fourth victory on the PGA TOUR.

Brian Gay turned in a 5-under-par 32-33=65 in his opening round of The McGladrey Classic, finishing one stroke back of the clubhouse co-leaders.

Gay has gone 16 starts without a top 25, but he's 115th on the money list, so he's likely safe to retain his TOUR card no matter what happens in the final two events. That said, he'll probably extinguish any doubt this week after having tied his low round of the year today. He hit 16 greens and circled seven birdies, four of which from beyond 12 feet. The most notable found the cup from 19'4" at the 17th hole and 29'4" at 8.

Brian Gay enters The Barclays mired in a season of mediocrity but hopes to turn things around at Bethpage State Park.

Gay has notched 14 (of 23) cuts, but hasn't sniffed a top 10 since the Valero Texas Open in April. His only other top 10 was a T6 at the Sony Open to start his 2012 campaign. Ranking 182nd in driving distance, it is unlikely the big ballpark at Bethpage will fit his eye.

Brian Gay has been added to the published field of this week's True South Classic.

Gay committed late on Friday. He's been a fixture at Annandale, teeing it up in nine of the last 11 editions. His only top 10 occurred in 2008 when he lost in a playoff to Will MacKenzie.
