Back in action following a stomach ailment that has sidelined him for a couple of weeks, Estes wasted no time in getting dirty. He hit 15 greens in regulation and erased one bogey with four birdies. His most notable conventional conversions measured 16'3" and 14'11" at the 18th and first holes, respectively, but he picked up an unexpected birdie when his pitch from 38 yards at the par-4 fifth found the cup. He's five strokes off the clubhouse lead. May 23 - 2:53 PM

Bob Estes elected not to give it a go at today's International Final Qualifying for The Open Championship.

In response to a query on Sunday asking if he'd compete at this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, he wrote: "I'm hoping to but I withdrew from the Open qualifier this morning. No way I can finish 36 holes in high winds tmrw." The veteran has been dogged by a stomach illness that forced him out just before the opening round of THE PLAYERS on May 9.

Hoping to play the Open Champ. qualifier Monday & Colonial." He had pulled out of THE PLAYERS at the last minute due to his health. The veteran has a suspect record at TPC Four Seasons anyway, so gamers won't miss him.

Bob Estes heads to TPC Sawgrass for THE PLAYERS in search of his second top 10 of the PGA TOUR season.

He's one of the grizzled vets of the field, making his 22nd start. While he's managed to see the weekend 13 times, he only has three top 25s and zero top 10s on the resume. Given that it's been a solid 2013 season, it's not out of the question that he makes the cut but don't expect much more.

Bob Estes turned in a 2-under-par 36-34=70 in the final round of the Valero Texas Open, improving to 8-under 280 and a tie for seventh.

Estes only bogey of the day came at the par-4 fourth, and he was fortunate it wasn't much worse than that following an unplayable lie after a pulled drive. He would bounce back with birdies from 3'3" on the eighth, 15' on the 16th and 3'7" on the 18th, but would never seriously factor in the decision of the tournament. It's noteworthy for him, in that it is his best finish of the 2013 season.

Bob Estes continued his march up the leaderboard at the Valero Texas Open with a 3-under-par 34-35=69 to finish the third round at 6-under 210.

Estes won his first PGA TOUR title in this event in 1994, and the native Texan is finding his groove on TPC San Antonio this week. Remarkably, he's played just three of his 54 holes over par, with two bogeys and a double bogey, on a course where plenty of ugly numbers can be found without much effort. He will try and secure his first top-10 finish of the season in Sunday's final round, if not his fifth TOUR win.

Bob Estes sits 4-under-par 71-69=140 at the midpoint of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, five strokes off the pace of the overnight co-leaders.

This is Estes' sixth start of the year. Among his four previous paydays, he hasn't finished worst than T30 and he's sprinkled in a pair of top 25s. After just one par breaker on Thursday at Bay Hill -- an eagle at the par-5 16th hole -- he peppered the course with five birdies today to offset two bogeys. Four of his birdies found the cup from beyond 12 feet, including a roll from 18'10" at the 12th hole and a hole-out from off the green 16 yards out at 16.

Bob Estes signed for a 4-under-par 35-33=68 after his opening round of the Northern Trust Open.

Estes hit 12 greens in regulation but limited his scorecard to one bogey, that a 5 at the 12th hole. Otherwise, it was a vintage day for the four-time PGA TOUR winner. He circled four birdies, the only of which over four feet measuing 19'5" at seven. He was the 10th to post a 68 at Riviera today, four strokes back of the clubhouse lead.

Bob Estes will make his second start of the season at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

The fully-exempt veteran appears to be picking his spots early. He finished in a tie for 16th at the Humana Challenge, but sat out the next two weeks before heading to the Monterey Peninsula. His recent history is solid in this event. He tied for fourth in 2009, 16th in 2010 and 15th last season.

Bob Estes converted a successful trip to 2011 Q School into a million-dollar season on the PGA TOUR in 2012.

Estes did most of his damage with a tie for fourth at the Valero Texas Open and a tie for 10th at The Barclays. At 25th in scrambling, it was essential he get up-and-down since he was 156th in GIR. If you are looking for a place to play Estes in 2013, consider The Greenbrier Classic where he was T21 in 2010, T2 in 2011 and T38 in 2012.

A year removed from a trip to Q School, Bob Estes has earned a spot in the field at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia.

Estes is closing the door on a bounce-back 2012, where he’s notched 16 (of 23) cuts with seven top 25s and two top 10s. This week marks his first trip to The MINES Resort and Golf Club, and he is sporting decent form, having made his last four cuts. At 85th in Strokes Gained-Putting, an average putter is the statistical strength of the veteran’s game.

Bob Estes had a rough final round of The Barclays, settling for a 3-over-par 37-37=74 in the final round.

Five bogeys to just two birdies dropped him from a share of fourth into a tie for 10th at 3-under 281. Ball-striking was the issue, as he split just half of Bethpage's 14 fairways and landed nine GIR. That was a stark contrast to the 15 GIR he found in each of his first two rounds.

Despite a 1-over-par 37-35=72 in the third round of The Barclays, Bob Estes is in the thick of contention at 6-under 207.

Estes stepped on the 15th tee at 8-under and in great shape to add some pressure to the leaders, but dropped a shot on the difficult par 4 and suffered a 3-putt bogey from 37'1" on the final hole. All added up, he hit 11 GIR and needed 29 putts to make his way around Bethpage. He will try and earn his fifth PGA TOUR victory in Sunday's finale.
