Fredrik Jacobson snuck around Colonial Country Club in 1-under-par 33-36=69 in the third round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial and enters the finale at 8-under 202.
The Swede was going along nicely with a blemish-free 2-under through the first 11 holes. It would be a fight for his remaining seven holes, trading two bogeys for one birdie and barely hanging on to a spot inside the top 10 with 18 holes to play. Even though he's tied for 10th, he's still only three off Matt Kuchar's lead. May 25 - 6:07 PM

Fredrik Jacobson reached the halfway point of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial in 7-under-par 66-67=133, two strokes off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

After going 3-for-3 in scrambling on a bogey-free Thursday, Jacobson finally succumbed to a lone bogey despite missing six greens in regulation today. He's circled four birdies in each round, including a conversion from 24'2" at the 14th hole in the opening round. Today's highlight occurred at the par-3 eighth where he holed out from a greenside bunker for birdie.

Fredrik Jacobson recorded an even-par 35-37=72 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS.

This is Jacobson's first start since finishing T25 at the Masters. He's rested a hip injury in the interim. Today at TPC Sawgrass, he found only nine greens in regulation and traded four birdies with four bogeys. His par breakers included a hole-out from a greenside bunker at 12 and a conventional conversion from 10'6 at the first hole. He needs to shed the rust to extend his streak of seven consecutive top 25s.

Fredrik Jacobson has been removed from the published field of this week's Wells Fargo Championship.

A hip injury bumped him from last week's stop in New Orleans, so he's clearly not ready to give it a go. Consider him a question mark for next week's PLAYERS.

Better to know this now than later. Adjust your lineups accordingly as the Swede was a popular choice entering the tournament. He's strung together seven top 25s this season.

Fredrik Jacobson sits 47th in the latest Official World Golf Ranking, good enough to earn a trip to next week's Masters.

The Swede pulled out of the Shell Houston Open, perhaps to avoid missing the cut and threatening a berth into the season's first major. To wit, Geoff Ogilvy started the week sitting 50th in the OWGR, failed to cash at Redstone, and tumbled to 55th. The top 50 in the OWGR tonight earn an exemption. Jacobson will be making his fourth trip to the Masters. Two others previous ineligible secured tee times at Augusta National via the updated OWGR -- Henrik Stenson (42nd) and Richard Sterne (49th). Stenson has competed in the last seven editions of the Masters. Sterne will be making his third appearance; he didn't qualify for the last three.

Fredrik Jacobson has been removed from the published field of this week's Shell Houston Open.

Jacobson hasn't competed since finishing T16 at the WGC-Cadillac. He's currently 46th in the Official World Golf Ranking. The top 50 at the conclusion of golf this coming weekend earn berths into the Masters. The Swede is all but a lock for one of those exemptions.

Fredrik Jacobson settled for a 1-under-par 35-36=71 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship to inch up to 10-under 206.

After an opening eagle from 15'2", it looked like Jacobson would take it low and challenge the top of the leaderboard. Considering he played the final 17 holes in 1-over, with three bogeys and two birdies, he did not accomplish that task. Still, he can keep his strong start to 2013 intact with a solid final round.

Overnight co-leader Fredrik Jacobson backed up his opening 66 at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship with a 3-under-par 36-33=69 in his second round.

After hitting just 10 greens on Thursday, the Swede managed to find only 11 today, yet still circled six birdies to cancel out three bogeys. Three of his rolls dropped in from outside 11 feet, including conversions of 21'11" at the 17th hole and 18'11" at 9. He's 9-under 135 through two rounds, four strokes off the 36-hole lead.

Fredrik Jacobson carded a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship to earn a share of the clubhouse lead with Tiger Woods.

Jacobson continues to force us to pay attention. He hit only 10 greens in regulation today but limited the damage to a lone bogey at the par-4 second hole. After rolling in s par save from 20'10" at the seventh hole, he converted an eagle from 16'8" at the par-5 eighth. Then, on the heels of a standard two-putt par at the par-3 ninth, he buried his second eagle, this time from just 10'11" at the par-5 11th. In his debut at this event last year, he didn't break 71.

Fredrik Jacobson fell to Robert Garrigus 3 and 1 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

Jacobson fought back from three down with eight to play to square the match, but Garrigus moves on to face Matt Kuchar to determine who will advance out of the Hogan Bracket. Perhaps the pivotal moment of the match came on the par-4 15th. Garrigus stepped onto the tee with a 1-up lead, then smashed his driver onto the green and six feet from the hole for an eventually conceded eagle winner.

Fredrik Jacobson turned in a 4-and-3 victory over Marcus Fraser in the Hogan Bracket in the second round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

Jacobson polished off the Aussie with birdie-3s at the 14th and 15th holes to secure a berth in the third round against Robert Garrigus. Fraser has nothing today, completing the 15 holes in 2-over with zero birdies. His only two wins were due to Jacobson bogeys.

Fredrik Jacobson upended Ernie Els 1 up in their opening match in the Hogan Bracket at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

Both golfers shot 2-over-par over 18 holes, so it was poetic that Jacobson polished off his victory with a par at the par-4 18th hole. Els held an early lead that Jacobson squared by the eighth hole. The Swede wouldn't trail the rest of the way. He'll wipe the slate clean and start anew versus Marcus Fraser in Friday's second round.

Fredrik Jacobson thrilled the crowd in the final round of the Northern Trust Open with his 2-under-par 33-36=69, but came up one short shy of joining a playoff with his 10-under 274 tally.

Jacobson lived up to his multiple nicknames highlighting his penchant for short-game magic several times in the final round. None was more dramatic than his par save on the par-3 14th, escaping a sure bogey with a chip-in par. He stood over a 4'3" par attempt on the 18th that would have gotten him into a playoff with Charlie Beljan and John Merrick, but failed to convert. He now moves on to Dove Mountain for the WGC-Accenture Match Play.
