With a 7-under-par 30-33=63 in his second round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship, Tom Gillis was the first to stake a claim to the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 8-under 132.

The lift, clean and place provision was in place again today, buthe veteran was a one-man highlight reel going out today. After starting his round with a benign par at the 10th, he rolled in four consecutive conversions from outside 11 feet. The first was in the form of a par save from 12'10" at 11. The birdies immediately trailed, the best of the bunch dropping in from 31'10". He then closed out his first nine with two more birdies, this time finding the distance from 16'11" at 16 and 12'3" at 18. Bogey-free through 17 and eyeing a birdie putt at the par-4 ninth, he'd three-putt from 9'1" to settle for a career-tying low on the PGA TOUR.

Tom Gillis looped Quail Hollow in 4-over-par 38-38=76 in his opening round of the Wells Fargo Championship.

The good news is that he's back inside the ropes after consecutive early withdrawals the last two weeks. The bad news is that he converted on only one of 12 birdie opportunities at Quail Hollow today, and then proceeded to bogey five of the other six holes. Everything Gillis has been giving us lately smells of a guy barely hanging on as he approaches 45 years of age (in July).

Tom Gillis is listed in the published field of next week's Wells Fargo Championship.

Continue to hold your breath. Gillis has withdrawn early after each of his last two commitments. He shared 53rd place at last year's stop at Quail Hollow, but he is not a recommended investment until he proves that he's able to peg it.

Tom Gillis has been removed from the published field of this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Same story, different week. The veteran was an early WD at last week's RBC Heritage as well. With two straight dismissals, we'll add him to our Injury Report. He's 153rd in FedExCup points.

Tom Gillis has been removed from the published field of this week's RBC Heritage.

Gillis has missed six of nine cuts this season, including his last three. He's 148th in FedExCup points. The 44-year-old is the quintessential tweener in fantasy gamers. He probably belongs on a long-term roster but most aren't patient enough to wait for that infrequent great finish.

Tom Gillis will play his third Shell Houston Open this week.

While he’s a veteran of the event, this is his first trip to Redstone GC Tournament Course. He entered the Florida Swing needing a spark, and given his history at PGA National it needed to come at The Honda Classic. His tie for 25th represented his best start of the season, but puts him behind the eight ball in terms of fighting for his FedExCup Playoff life. One has to assume there’s a reason the veteran has left this stop off his schedule for a number of years, so it’s likely wise to sit this one out.

Tom Gillis enjoyed a bogey-free, 3-under-par 33-34=67 for his opening round of The Honda Classic.

Last year's co-runner-up didn't miss a beat in his return. While he needed to go 5-for-5 in scrambling to maintain a clean scorecard, that's exactly what he did. The veteran also circled three birdies, including a roll from 15'4" at the 14th hole. He signed his card sitting two strokes in arrears of the clubhouse co-leaders.

Tom Gillis returns to the Monterey Peninsula for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am with plenty of good memories on which to lean.

Gillis has cashed in each of his four trips to Pebble Beach, including a T8 in 2010 and a third in 2011. He's also made his last two cuts entering the week despite failing to cash at the Sony Open to start his season. If you want to throw a dark horse out at the water cooler this week, he may be a guy to consider.

Tom Gillis missed out on his first win in 2012 when Rory McIlroy closed out The Honda Classic, but it was a successful year none the less.

Gillis ended the year 72nd on the money list and a respectable 49th in the all-around ranking. This was his third-consecutive successful run on the PGA TOUR after graduating from the 2009 Web.com Tour. Looking ahead, The Honda Classic could be a solid play for him in 2013, as he also tied for 17th in that event in 2010.

Tom Gillis spun a bogey-free 3-under-par 34-35=69 in the final round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, finishing the week inside the top 10 at 11-under 277.

Count Gillis among the ranks of those not concerned about a 2013 TOUR card this week, and his lack of stress proved the right formula for his third top 10 of the season. He landed 11 (of 14) fairways and held 14 GIR in a round that never saw him get into any real trouble. His 30 putts were the highest of any round this week.

Tom Gillis posted a 5-under-par 33-33=66 in his third round of the CIMB Classic to take outright possession of the 54-hole clubhouse lead at 12-under 201.

After opening 65-70, Gillis pounced on Moving Day, rolling in six birdies to erase one bogey. He's converted 16 birdies for the week while suffering only four bogeys. The 44-year-old has just one victory in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event; it came at the 2009 Players Cup on the Web.com Tour.

Tom Gillis posted a 6-under-par 31-34=65 in his opening round of the CIMB Classic, finishing two strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

After a solid run through the FedExCup Playoffs, Gillis elected to compete in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, but he missed the cut. He's back on track in Malaysia, however, drilling seven birdies to offset one bogey at The MINES Resort & Golf Spa. He converted only one of his birdies on the trio of par 5s, but birdied three of the four par 3s.

Tom Gillis has rounded into form as he prepares to tee it up at the CIMB Classic.

Gillis posted a tie for second early in the season at The Honda Classic, but had to wait until The Barclays in August to secure his second of two top 10s this season. Since his T10 at Bethpage Black, he added a T26 on TPC Boston and a T16 at Crooked Stick before missing out on a berth into the field at East Lake. He tied for 11th in this event in 2010, so the stars could be aligning for a big week.

Tom Gillis setteld for a 1-over-par 36-36=72 in the final round of The Barclays to hold on for a tie for 10th at 3-under 281.

It was a quiet day on the card for Gillis, as his 15 pars were joined by a birdie and a pair of bogeys. His lone birdie dropped on the par-5 seventh when he kicked in a 4'7" putt. He finished the week fourth in Strokes Gained-Putting.
