D.J. Trahan has been added to the published field of this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Trahan received a sponsor exemption to tee it up at TPC Louisiana. He's 1-for-3 on the track with a T9 in 2005. In limited action this season due to conditional status, he's cashed in three of five starts with two top 15s and sits 146th in FedExCup points.

D.J. Trahan managed a 1-under-par 37-34=71 in the third round of the Valero Texas Open to inch his way up the leaderboard to 4-under 212.

Trahan is playing this year out of the 126-150 category, meaning his starts are precious. That is likely why he's making his first start at TPC San Antonio. The course seems to fit his game, as he erased three bogeys with four birdies including a 14'4" effort on the par-4 17th and a 10'3" final dagger on the 18th. Should he finish the week inside the top 10, it would ensure him a start at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

D.J. Trahan has been added to the field of this week's Tampa Bay Championship.

The PGA TOUR's media department reported this. While Trahan has conditional status on the PGA TOUR, he secured a tee time at Copperhead with a top 10 in Puerto Rico. He's 3-for-6 in Tampa Bay with no top 35s.

D.J. Trahan looks to have locked up a top 10 at the Puerto Rico Open thanks to a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in the final round bumping him up to 16-under 272.

Trahan circled eight birdies, including three in his last four holes, to just two bogeys at Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico. Playing with conditional status, taking advantage of every opportunity is crucial for the two-time PGA TOUR winner. Though he is not currently listed in the field at the Tampa Bay Championship, should he hold on to a spot inside the top 10 he will earn a berth via his play and avoid an open qualifier on Monday.

D.J. Trahan heads to the Puerto Rico Open having never played this event.

Despite being a long-time PGA TOUR veteran, Trahan has always skipped this event since his status has never been an issue. Playing with conditional status this season changes his schedule to chase starts wherever they pop up. In the two events he’s played, he has a T56 at the Humana Challenge and a missed cut at Pebble Beach.

D.J. Trahan pulled the plug on his bid to earn a promotion in status on the PGA TOUR when he withdrew from the final stage of Q School after his second round.

Trahan went 4-over-par 75-73=148 at PGA West this week. That placed him outside the top 155 in the 172-man field. He'll settle for conditional status in 2013 for finishing 132nd on the money list this year.

D.J. Trahan fell short of securing a 2013 PGA TOUR card when he turned in an even-par 38-34=72 in the final round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, finishing the week at 7-under 281.

Trahan earned the final card due to a 22-foot birdie putt on his final hole at Disney last year, but couldn't recapture the magic this time around. He entered the week 130th on the money list, likely needing a top 15 or top-20 finish to avoid Q School this time around. With that goal missed, he will prepare for Q School.

D.J. Trahan is in the field at Disney for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, and he begins the week 130th on the money list.

The two-time PGA TOUR winner dealt with similar drama last year, when he holed a birdie putt from 22 feet on his final hole at the Magnolia Course to bump Bobby Gates from the 125th spot, and take a seat in the final fully-exempt chair. Facing longer odds this time around, he notched his second top 10 in the form of a T4 at The McGladrey Classic last time out to give himself a legitimate shot at a run this week. He went from the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February to The McGladrey Classic October without a top-25 finish. Never known for his flat stick, he ranks 186th in strokes gained.

D.J. Trahan entered The McGladrey Classic ranked 151st on the money list, but a final-round 1-under-par 36-33=69 landed him in a tie for fourth at 12-under 268 and has him projected in the 130th spot.

Trahan got off to a bumpy start, squaring bogeys on his second and third holes to drop outside of the top 10. A birdie at the eighth and another at the 11th equalized his round, but another dropped shot at the 14th from a three putt put him once again behind the eight ball. He would rally to birdie the 15th and 16th holes, before missing a mid-range effort on the 17th for a third birdie in-a-row. While he didn't wrap up his 2013 TOUR card, he did ensure that he will finish in the 126th-150th conditional category at worst and allowing him an exemption into the final stage of Q School. He has one more chance to move into the top 125 at the Children's Miracle Network Classic in a few weeks.

D.J. Trahan fired a 4-under-par 35-31=66 in the third round of The McGladrey Classic to put himself into contention at 11-under 199.

You may remember that Trahan finished 2011 in the 125th spot on the money list, and entered the week in the 151st spot. At the time of his posting, the real-time projection on the Golf Channel was for him to be 123rd with several players still on the course, so he's making it interesting once again. After trading two birdies for two bogeys on the opening nine, he came to the clubhouse circling four birdies without a blemish on his inward nine. He capped his day off with an 11'2" birdie on the final hole.

D.J. Trahan spun a 3-under-par 33-34=67 in his second round of The McGladrey Classic to reach the halfway point in 7-under 133.

Trahan is playing like he has everything to gain, which is precisely the truth. He arrived at Seaside sitting 151st on the money list and fighting for his job in 2013. One of the PGA TOUR's best ball-strikers has needed red-hot putting to survive, and he's getting it this week. He buried seven birdies today, five of which disappearing from beyond 10 feet, including respective rolls from 18'1", 20'4" and 39'9" at the 10th, 12th and 13th holes. (He started on 10 today.) At the time he signed his card, he led the field with 12 birdies and sat one stroke off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

D.J. Trahan in back in a familiar, yet uncomfortable spot, entering The McGladrey Classic 151st on the PGA TOUR money list.

Trahan battled to finish 125th on the money list in 2011, but has his work cut out for him if he hopes to do the same this season. He’s made nine (of 25) cuts this season, with a solo fourth at the Waste Management Phoenix Open his lone top 25. In his favor, he tied for 11th in last year’s trip to Sea Island after skipping the event in 2010. Never known as a strong putter, he ranks 186th in the Strokes Gained category this season, but his 89th ranking in ball-striking is a mild and unpleasant surprise.

D.J. Trahan carded a 2-under-par 34-34=68 in his opening round of the RBC Canadian Open to finish three strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

Trahan is coming off a disappointing effort at Annandale last week, missing the cut on the number at an event where he's enjoyed much success. He shook it off today, however, hitting 14 greens in regulation en route to three birdies. He took 31 putts but it's a solid start overall and much-needed given he arrived in Ontario ranked 148th in FedExCup points.

D.J. Trahan is in the midst of one of his worst years on the PGA TOUR, but will give it a go at the AT&T National this week.

Trahan looked to be off to a solid start, notching a fourth-place finish at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. That was not a predictor of things to come, as he's missed the cut in 11 of his 16 starts. He's coming off of a MDF at the Travelers where he only broke par in one round. He's 154th in GIR and 179th in Strokes Gained-Putting. In his last trip to Congressional in 2008, he posted a T22 in this event.
