Scott McCarron reached the halfway point of the HP Byron Nelson Championship in 9-over-par 76-73=149 and will miss the cut.
This was just his fourth start of the season due to status on a Non-exempt Medical Extension. He's failed to cash each time he's teed it up, so he now has 15 starts remaining on the medical to earn $647,510 and a promotion to the Major Medical category. If he's going to threaten those terms, he's going to need to improve greatly tee-to-cup. At TPC Four Seasons this week, he split only nine (of 28) fairways and hit just 16 greens in regulation. McCarron picked off seven birdies but sustained 14 bogeys and a double. May 17 - 1:57 PM

Scott McCarron reached the midpoint of the Valero Texas Open in 6-over-par 77-73=150 and will miss the cut.

McCarron extended his streak of rounds of 72 or higher to seven this week. He hit 21 greens and holed five birdies but sustained eight bogeys and a triple. This drops him to 0-for-3 on the season and leaves him with 16 starts on his Non-exempt Medical Extension to earn $647,510 and a promotion to the Major Medical category. Non-exempt medicals don't carry over so he'll likely end the season with start in the tank.

Scott McCarron failed to survive the cut at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am after turning in rounds of 75, 72 and 75 for an aggregate of 8-over-par 222.

McCarron was nine strokes too high to play in Sunday's finale. He converted an eagle and seven birdies during his stay but also swallowed 15 bogeys and a double.

Scott McCarron shot 2-over-par 68-72-78=218 at the Humana Challenge, missing the cut by 12 strokes.

In his first start this season and in the field on a sponsor exemption, McCarron went 0-for-10 in birdie opportunities in his third round and bogeyed six holes. This leaves him with 18 starts on his Non-exempt Medical Extension to earn $647,510 and a promotion to the Major Medical category.

Scott McCarron turned in a 4-under-par 35-33=68 at La Quinta Country Club for his opening round of the Humana Challenge.

Making his first start in 10 months and since having surgery on his left thumb in September, the veteran capitalized. He played the quartet of par 5s in bogey-free 5-under with an eagle and two birdies. He added a birdie on the par-3 12th hole and swallowed a pair of bogeys during his outward nine. Now 47 years old and well into the twilight of his career, he no longer has fantasy value, but he's off to a strong start in the first of 19 via a Non-exempt medical extension. For the record, he gained entry into this week's field on a sponsor exemption. He'll take on PGA West's Nicklaus Private in the second round.

Scott McCarron is listed in the published field of next week's Humana Challenge.

If he doesn't withdraw, this will be his first action since March. He sat out for personal reasons, but then had surgery on his left thumb in mid-September. The 47-year-old has made 16 appearances in this tournament but hasn't recorded a top 10. He has 19 starts on a Non-exempt Medical Extension to earn $647,510 and a promotion to the Major Medical category.

Scott McCarron has been given 19 starts on a Non-exempt Medical Extension to earn $647,510 and a promotion to the Major Medical category.

The 47-year-old went 0-for-6 before shutting it down in March. He'd go on to have surgery on his left thumb and wrist on Sept. 18. Without the aid of sponsor exemptions, he'll be severely restricted in starts early in the year, but shouldn't be on any fantasy roster anyway.

Scott McCarron is scheduled to have surgery to repair a bone spur and torn ligament in his left thumb and wrist on Tuesday, Sept. 18.

Last time we checked in on the veteran, he has called it a year due to personal reasons, not an injury. He has conditional status, so it's possible that he'll start 2013 on a Non-exempt Medical Extension. He's expecting recovery period of 3-4 months, which takes us into the new season. McCarron missed all six of his cuts earlier this year.

Scott McCarron is not expected to compete on the PGA TOUR for the remainder of the year.

Playing with conditional status this season, he missed the cut in all of his six starts culminating with the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March. According to the June 17 article linked below, he's not injured, choosing rather to spend time with his family and on other pursuits including broadcasting. He turns 47 on July 10, so he's in that void between staying competitive on the PGA TOUR and the opportunity that awaits on the Champions Tour at the age of 50. "It is difficult going to these tournaments and not playing," he said. "I saw a bunch of the guys I hadn’t seen in a couple of months. Guys call me every week just to see how I’m doing." Given his choice not to play, we have removed him from our Injury Report.

Scott McCarron has been out of action since missing the cut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in late March.

No news has surfaced on why the veteran has been sidelined for what is now 11 weeks. His website and Twitter page haven't been updated all year. He missed the cut in all six of his appearances through Bay Hill. McCarron has conditional status on the PGA TOUR, so if he's out due to a medical or personal matter, he'd assumingly qualify for a Non-exempt Medical Extension if he needs one for 2013. The three-time PGA TOUR winner will turn 47 years of age on July 10.

Scott McCarron will look to get his 2012 season on track at the Puerto Rico Open.

McCarron has made 250 cuts in his PGA TOUR career but hasn't been able to cash in any of his four 2012 starts. Ranking third in driving accuracy and second in total putting means the weakness is in his iron play. He ranks 178th in GIR.
