Steve Wheatcroft turned in a 4-under-par 33-35=68 at The Club at Comanche Trace in today's open qualifier in Kerrville, Tex. for the Valero Texas Open, falling two strokes outside the number to join a playoff for the final three berths into the tournament proper.
Wheatcroft famously parlayed his successful run at last week's four-spotter into outright possession of the 36-hole lead of the Shell Houston Open before fading into a share of 22nd place. He buried six birdies today but got clipped by a couple of bogeys. Other notables that failed to qualify include: 67--Mark Anderson ... 68--Tom Byrum; Brad Lardon ... 69--Will MacKenzie; Mike Standly; Cliff Kresge; Edward Loar ... 70--Paul Stankowski; Bubba Dickerson; Will Strickler ... 72--Omar Uresti; Craig Kanada ... 73--Eric Axley ... 74--Frank Lickliter II ... 76--David Ogrin.

Steve Wheatcroft stumbled to an even-par 35-37=72 in the third round of the Shell Houston Open, dropping to 10-under 206 and one behind the leaders.

The 36-hole leader is one of 15 players within two strokes of the lead with just 18 holes to play. He jumped out to a solid start, circling birdies from 2'8" and 10'9" on the second and fourth holes respectively. He gave back bogeys at the par-3 ninth after flubbing a chip and the par-4 10th after a drive in the hazard, but did a nice job minimizing the damage and preventing the numbers from being a little larger in both cases. He added a third birdie from 2'8" at the par-51 13th, but made a bogey on the 18th after several poor shots.

Steve Wheatcroft answered his opening 67 at the Shell Houston Open with another to take outright possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 10-under 134.

Wheatcroft went bogey-free at Redstone today, turning in nines of 34 and 33. He hit 16 greens in regulation and rolled in five birdies. The set included consecutive conversions from 26'11", 17'10" and 16'7" beginning at the second hole. The 35-year-old journeyman is a non-winner on the PGA TOUR. He's gunning to be the first open qualifier to take home a title since Arjun Atwal at the 2010 Wyndham Championship.

Steve Wheatcroft circled eight birdies en route to a 5-under-par 32-35=67 in his opening round of the Shell Houston Open, finishing three strokes adrift of the overnight lead.

The former PGA TOUR member capitalized on his berth into the tournament via Monday's four-spotter. He hit 12 greens and suffered three bogeys but more than made up for it everywhere else. His first blast of birdies occurred consecutive on holes 4-8. That run included four conversions from beyond 11 feet, including an 18-yard hole-out from off the green at 5 and a conventional roll from 18'6" at 6. After pars on the swing holes, he drilled another biride at 11 from 32'11", and then chased it with yet another from 22'9" at 12. His last birdie measured 6'2" at the par-5 13th. Wheatcroft is no stranger to going low. He holds the Web.com Tour record for low aggregate over 72 holes, carding 29-under 66-60-65-64=255 at the 2011 Melwood Prince George's County Open.

Steve Wheatcroft looks to build on a made cut at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at this week’s Frys.com Open.

His tie for 36th at TPC Summerlin last week was his second-best finish of the season, bested only by a tie for 22nd at The Greenbrier. With finishes like that, it’s not hard to imagine that he ranks a meager 194th on the money list and is staring a return trip to Q School in the face if he doesn’t get things moving quickly. Considering he ranks 36th in GIR and 90th in Strokes Gained-Putting, there is always a chance for things to fall into place. The par 5s have been his downfall, ranking 177th in Par 5 Birdie or Better Leaders.

Steve Wheatcroft opened the RBC Canadian Open with a 1-over-par 39-32=71.

Forced to withdraw during his second round of last week's True South Classic due to heat exhaustion, he stumbled out of the gate today, carding a birdie-free first nine that included a triple bogey-7 on the 12th hole. However, Wheatcroft righted the ship and converted four birdies coming in, including a round-long gem from 18'9" at the first hole.

He withdrew from the Travelers four weeks ago for personal reasons. For the time being, he's scheduled to compete in next week's RBC Canadian Open.

The second round of The Greenbrier Classic was suspended at 8:45 p.m. ET for darkness.

Try as they might, 12 golfers failed to complete play today. A weather delay of two hours and 25 minutes prevented it. Steve Wheatcroft arrived at The Old White TPC riding an 0-for-6 skid, but he's 2-under with one hole to play. He'll return for the restart at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. He was birdie-free 2-over before flipping on the jets after the turn, circling four birdies in a five-hole stretch. It included a birdie putt form 11'7" at the 10th hole and a 10-yard hole-out from in front of the green at 11. He'll need no worse than a bogey-4 at the closing hole to earn a paycheck as the cut will fall at 1-under 139.

He also carded a bogey and one double, the latter of which a 5 at the 18th hole where he flew the green with his tee ball and eventually three-putted from 60 feet.

Steve Wheatcroft was removed from the published field fo this week's United Leasing Championship at Victoria National Golf Club on the Web.com Tour.

He pulled out of last week's Travelers Championship during the first weather delay of the second round due to personal reasons. On his Twitter page on Wednesday of this week, he wrote: "Headed to Oakmont today. Favorite course in the world. Hoping for fast and firm conditions." Ranked 223rd in FedExCup points, Wheatcroft has virtually zero fantasy value but he should play every week now through the Wyndham Championship, so there is value in his busy schedule.

Steve Wheatcroft withdrew during his second round of the Travelers Championship, citing personal reasons.

Wheatcroft chose not to complete his second round after play restarted at 2:00 p.m. ET. He was 1-under-par on the round but 3-over through 34 holes and stood little chance of making the cut that sat on even par at the time he withdrew. Look for him to return at next week's United Leasing Championship at Victoria National Golf Club on the Nationwide Tour.

Steve Wheatcroft has had a season to forget thus far, but could turn that around with a big week at the FedEx St. Jude Classic.

This will be Wheatcroft's 11th event, but he's only found the weekend three times. He enters TPC Southwind having missed his last four cuts. He ranks 173rd in total driving and 153rd in ball-striking. He's been decent with the putter as evident by his 39th showing in total putting.

Steve Wheatcroft carded a 3-under-par 34-35=69 at Pebble Beach in his opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

A nifty start for a guy that endured a health scare on Jan. 30. He hit 14 greens in regulation today en route to an eagle (at the par-5 18th hole) and three birdies. His longest conversions were par saves of 11'10" and 15'9" at the 16th and ninth holes, respectively. He'll play Spyglass Hill on Friday.
