Charl Schwartzel signed for a 1-under-par 69 in the third round of the U.S. Open and reaches the 54-hole mark in the clubhouse lead at even-par 210.
Schwartzel felt the pressure of the lead much of the afternoon at Merion, bouncing back from a bogey at the par-5 second with four birdies on his next eight holes to take the lead. He would remain with one hand on the lead for the remainder of the afternoon until he suffered back-to-back bogeys to end his round. At the time of his posting, only two players remained on the course under par. Jun 15 - 7:44 PM

Charl Schwartzel turned in a 1-over-par 71 in the second round of the U.S. Open and sits at 1-over 141 for the tournament.

Schwartzel had a little work to do on Saturday morning to complete his second round and answered the bell with a par at the par-3 17th and a rare birdie at the par-4 18th. In all, his second lap around Merion included five birdies, four bogeys and a messy double bogey on the par-4 first when he short-sided himself in a bunker right out of the gate. He only trails Phil Mickelson and Billy Horschel by two strokes, so expect the 2011 Masters champion to be a factor down the stretch.

Charl Schwartzel opened the U.S. Open with an even-par 70.

The South African started on the 11th hole today and sat bogey-free 3-under after five holes. After returning to the course following the weather delay that lasted three hours and 31 minutes, he played out the string in 3-over with no par breakers. He signed his card sitting three strokes off the early clubhouse lead.

Charl Schwartzel managed an even-par 35-37=72 in the final round of the Memorial to finish the week at 4-under 284.

The first-round leader briefly found himself on the leaderboard in the finale after he holed an eagle on the par-5 fifth to erase a couple of early birdies. He added a birdie at the eighth, but ended his bid at the win with a double bogey on the par-5 11th. He equalized his round with a final birdie at the par-5 15th.

Charl Schwartzel briefly found himself in the lead during the third round of the Memorial, but an ugly back nine lead to a 4-over-par 35-41=76.

Schwartzel birdied each of the par 5s on the opening nine and wrestled the lead away from Bill Haas early in the afternoon. Things turned quickly for the South African, giving back bogeys on eight, 10, 11 and 15 to go with a four-putt double bogey on the par-4 13th. As you can imagine, he lost 1.834 strokes putting and dropped into a tie for seventh at 4-under 212.

First-round leader Charl Schwartzel followed his opening 65 at the Memorial with a 1-under-par 38-33=71 to reach the halfway point in 8-under 136, one stroke off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Schwartzel hit 14 greens in regulation in his second round and circled five birdies, the longest of which measuring 11'9" at the 17th hole, but he went 2-for-4 in scrambling with one bogey and a double. He also three-putted the par-4 10th from just inside 42 feet for another bogey.

Charl Schwartzel ripped Muirfield Village for 10 birdies en route to a 7-under-par 32-33=65 in his opening round of the Memorial, good for outright possession of the clubhouse lead.

Welcome back, Sir Charl! He landed 16 greens in regulation and still managed to three-putt for bogey from 7'3" at the par-4 13th hole. His other measle was a double-bogey 5 at No. 8 where he didn't find the putting surface until his third stroke. However, half of his birdies disappeared from outside 10 feet. The highlight of the bunch measured 24'1" at 16. Schwartzel connected four birdies twice, at holes 14-17 on his first nine, and then again at Nos. 4-7.

At even-par 70-70=140, Charl Schwartzel missed the cut at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial on the number.

The South African hit just 23 greens in regulation and neutralized five birdies with five bogeys. He wasn't in danger of missing the weekend nearing the end of his second round, but he drifted with a bogey-bogey-par close. Schwartzel had a look at birdie from 19'8" at the par-4 ninth hole but it wouldn't drop. This ends his consecutive cuts made streak at 15. His last weekend off in a PGA TOUR event occurred at last year's Open Championship. He'll attempt to begin a new streak at next week's Memorial.

Charl Schwartzel tamed the wind at TPC Four Seasons in the final round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship for a 2-under-par 33-35=68 and the clubhouse lead at 10-under 270.

Schwartzel's round was blemish-free for the first 17 holes, circling three birdies and 14 pars before dropping a shot at the 18th with a buried lie in a greenside bunker. He managed to find 13 GIR on a day where it was a challenge to find the putting surface. While at times it seemed that he left his share of good looks at birdie out of the cup, he only missed one putt inside 10 feet all day. That was a birdie look from 6'1" on the par-4 12th. A late seven-foot birdie on 16 and a 6'5" par on 17 kept his round going, but the bogey at 18 looms large. His previous best finish on TOUR this season was a T3 in his first start at Riviera CC.

Charl Schwartzel settled for a 1-under-par 35-34=69 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and enters the final round in a tie for fifth at 8-under 202.

The South African had a chance to take it one deeper at the par-5 16th, but couldn't convert a 3'6" birdie effort. Though he's tied for first in GIR, with 81.48 percent of his approaches leading to birdie attempts for the week, he found the dance floor a mere 10 times in the third round. Given he missed the cut for the first time all season at last week's PLAYERS, it's a good sign that he's back in the hunt at TPC Four Seasons this week.

Charl Schwartzel followed his opening 63 at the HP Byron Nelson Championship with an even-par 34-36=70 in his second round to reach the midpoint in 7-under 133, four strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

This was a lost opportunity for the South African and a round he'd rather forget. After hitting all 18 greens on Thursday en route to seven birdies, he found 16 GIR today but converted on only three chances. What's more, two of those par breakers weren't gimmes. After holing his attempt for birdie from 11'5" at 1, he'd bury his roll from 19'6" at 15. Schwartzel bogeyed both holes where he didn't hit the green in regulation and added a three-putt bogey from 36'2" at the par-3 second hole. Overall, he fanned on five putts inside nine feet.

Charl Schwartzel blistered TPC Four Seasons for seven birdies en route to a bogey-free, 7-under-par 32-31=63 in his opening round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Schwartzel made quick work of the host track in his first competitive loop, hitting all 18 greens in regulation. He sunk all 17 chances inside 19 feet and added a 26'11" conversion for his final birdie of the round at the par-4 eighth hole. The South African signed his card sitting three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Charl Schwartzel will try and snare his first top 25 at THE PLAYERS this week.

Given that he's finished inside the top 25 in every PGA TOUR stroke play event in 2013, it's reasonable to assume that his fourth trip to TPC Sawgrass will represent his best finish. A T26 last year currently tops the resume. Worth noting, beginning with a T3 at Riviera each of his five stroke play starts have progressively worsened, ending with a T25 at the Masters. Either way, something's got to give.

Charl Schwartzel will put his current form to the test as his first trip to the Valero Texas Open.

Like other first-timers this week who are also in the Masters, the theory is that the addition of TPC San Antonio to the schedule is a strategic one, and for the purpose of tuning up for Augusta National. Schwartzel hasn’t finished worse than T16 anywhere on the globe in a stroke-play event in 2013. Due to the unfamiliarity with his surroundings, this week could put that to the test.

Charl Schwartzel posted a 3-under-par 32-37=69 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship to reach the 54-hole mark at 11-under 205.

Schwartzel's round will likely be one of what could have been. He missed five putts from inside of 10 feet that would have made a very good round a great one. The most painful was a miss from inside four feet for birdie on the par-4 17th. It wasn't all bad with the flat stick, as three of his birdies were outside of 19 feet. He will have to have all those drop in Sunday's finale if he hopes to chase down a red-hot Tiger Woods.
