Troy Kelly learned recently that he has a torn meniscus in his right knee, which is likely to prevent him from competing again during the 2013 season.
Kelly is fully exempt through this season, but he didn't play in either of the last two tournaments, thus raising a flag on a guy with a 3-for-10 slate and no top 60s. Sure enough, the Kitsap Sun interviewed the 34-year-old, who added that the ACL isn't 100 percent either. "It’s kind of like the hip," said Kelly, who had surgery on his left hip in 2010. "It went from being kinda OK to not good in a hurry. ... What I’m really having a hard time with is just walking the golf course. It’s like dragging my right leg around again and I told myself I wasn’t going to hurt walking again." He hasn't ruled out surgery, but it's not planned just yet. At this point, all remaining owners are advised to let him go. When he returns, whether it's in the beginning of the 2013-14 season this fall or during the 2014 calendar year, he'll be armed with a Major Medical Extension, albeit with a hefty monetary goal.

Troy Kelly enters the Tampa Bay Championship continuing to struggle with his game.

If you look back to the start of 2012, Kelly’s success on the PGA TOUR is completely tied to one week at The Greenbrier last year. He’s yet to secure a top-60 finish this season and is about to set foot on a course that he’s never played. The tree-lined fairways of the Copperhead Course may not bode well for someone who is 174th in driving accuracy.

Troy Kelly settled for a 1-over-par 33-39=72 in his opening round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Kelly called it quits at Torrey Pines before his second round last week due to flu-like symptoms. He opened well today, reaching the 11th hole in bogey-free 2-under, but then doubled the par-4 11th and chased it with a bogey at 12. One more bogey at the par-4 17th followed -- he whiffed on his 50-inch par save -- before he closed with a birdie-3 at the last. His only notable conversion of the day was a birdie attempt that dropped in from 25'4" at the par-3 fourth hole.

Troy Kelly withdrew prior to his second round of the Farmers Insurance Open due to flu-like symptoms.

It seems that early every year, a bug snipes a handful of touring pros. This winter has been no exception. Kelly opened with a 5-over-par 40-37=77 at Torrey Pines South. He was scheduled to go off the 10th tee on the North today but will instead go in the books with an 0-for-2 start following a missed cut at last week's Humana Challenge. Look for him at next week's Waste Management Phoenix Open. He's 1-for-2 at TPC Scottsdale with a T57 in 2011.

Thanks to a huge week at The Greenbrier Classic, Troy Kelly is back for a third season on the PGA TOUR in 2013.

Kelly faced off with Ted Potter Jr. in a playoff in the mountains of West Virginia that he would eventually lose, but the $658,800 check represented almost 84 percent of his earnings. Needless to say, it would have been back to the Web.com Tour had he not have caught lightening in the bottle that week. Under those circumstances, it’s hard to be confident that he will navigate the 2013 schedule well enough to avoid the four-tournament qualifier for the 2013-2014 season.

Troy Kelly has been quiet since his playoff loss at The Greenbrier, but looks to jump back on track at the Frys.com Open.

Kelly missed his two cuts immediately following the defeat at the hands of Ted Potter Jr., and has since made his last four cuts. The bad news is, a T48 at the Reno-Tahoe Open is the best of the bunch. The rookie is 107th on the money list and should be a lock to retain his PGA TOUR card by virtue of a top 125 spot on that list at season’s end, but a little insurance at CordeValle would be welcomed.

Troy Kelly has been removed from the published field of this week's RBC Canadian Open.

After qualifying for the British Open at Greenbrier, he promptly missed the cut last week at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He's currently 111th in FedExCup points.

Troy Kelly held on to sign for a 4-under-par 32-34=66 in the final round of The Greenbrier Classic to force a playoff with Ted Potter Jr. at 16-under 69-67-62-66=264 which he would lose on the third hole.

Kelly circled five birdies, with his lone bogey coming at the par-4 ninth. While he only hit half of his GIR, his flat stick saved him. He needed just 23 putts to a 1.556 average to navigate The Old White TPC. After halving the first playoff hole with tap-in pars, Kelly and Potter Jr. headed to the par-5 17th for the second playoff holes. Faced with a bad lie in a bunker, Kelly would eventually hole a 22'5" par putt and watch Potter miss a 4'9" birdie attempt that would have closed him out. The joy was short lived as Potter would stick his approach to 4'10" on the third playoff hole and brush that in for birdie to eliminate Kelly. After his career-best finish, Kelly now heads to the John Deere Classic to take on TPC Deere Run. He also qualified for the British Open for finishing highest amongh the top five at the Greenbrier not already exempt into the major. (Ted Potter, Jr. secured his berth via a short-term special money list that was plugged in first.)

Troy Kelly spun a bogey-free 8-under-par 29-33=62 in the third round of The Greenbrier Classic to take the lead in the clubhouse at 12-under 198.

The Web.com Tour grad circled eight birdies on the strength of 16 GIR. Ironically, he found just six (of 14) fairways, but had the flat stick working. Kelly needed 27 putts to the tune of a 1.625 average to navigate The Old White TPC. To date, his season has been a disappointing one as his best finish in six paydays is a T47 at the Shell Houston Open.

Troy Kelly is searching for some positive form at the FedEx St. Jude Classic.

The Nationwide Tour grad has seen the weekend just five times in 12 starts, with his best finish a T47 at the Shell Houston Open. While he's 15th in driving distance, he's only found 51.24 percent of his fairways and is 131st in GIR. He also played this event in 2009 and missed the cut.

When Troy Kelly tapped in for bogey on the 18th hole in the second round of the Shell Houston Open, his 1-under-par 35-36=71 was good enough to make him the 90th player to make the cut at 2-under 142.

It's Kelly's fourth payday of 2012. For the week he's struggled with ball-striking, hitting only 53.6 percent of his fairways and 69.4 percent of his greens, ranking him well down the field in both categories. The tournament has already seen challenges from weather in staying on schedule, and the unusually high number of players teeing it up in the third round will add another scheduling challenge. After 54 holes are in the books, another cut of top 70 and ties will occur.

Troy Kelly posted a 4-over-par 40-35=75 in the opening round of the John Deere Classic.

Kelly was one of the plethora of Friday night withdrawals at the Travelers when weather suspended play just before the cut. He'll have to dip into the mid-60s on Friday to make the Deere cut, which would be just his second of the year.

Troy Kelly is listed in the published field of next week's John Deere Classic.

The rookie is having a forgettable season, having not cashed since the Sony Open, his first of 10 starts on the PGA Tour in 2009. (He's also 0-for-4 on the Nationwide Tour.) Recently, Kelly said, "I’m stepping up and trying to hit a draw and the thing goes straight. I’m not hitting the shots I’m visualizing and trying to produce in my head before I hit my shot." Unfortunately, unlike many of us that feel similarly, Kelly doesn't get to play to a handicap.
