In a follow-up to Alex Miceli's report last Wednesday, Rex Hoggard of GolfChannel.com reported today that J.B. Holmes sustained a fracture in his left ankle.
The report added that Holmes is expected to be out 8-12 weeks. This was the worst-case scenario following his spill while rollerblading. He was scheduled to have an MRI the same as Miceli's report, but as is often the case in the world of golf news, it takes several days for the other shoe to drop. Holmes will be in a cast for another week before he takes the next step on his road to recovery. Mar 18 - 3:47 PM

Golf Channel's Alex Miceli reported on Wednesday that J.B. Holmes will be sidelined for at least two weeks after injuring his left ankle while rollerblading.

According to Miceli's report (which can be viewed at the link below; cue it to 14:30), Holmes took a spill on some pavement near his home at Isleworth, Fla. He was diagnosed with a sprain and probable fracture. The golfer was scheduled to have an MRI today to learn of the extent of the injury. He hasn't played since missing the cut at The Honda Classic and didn't commit to this week's Tampa Bay Championship. Holmes isn't eligible for the Masters. He's just 1-for-5 on the season with a T50 at Pebble Beach.

J.B. Holmes reached the midpoint of the Northern Trust Open in 4-over-par 71-75=146 and will miss the cut.

The shriek you hear is the collective angst of course history buffs everywhere. How could a golfer that hasn't finished worse than T12 in the last five editions of the NTO not even come close to a payday? Well, when you miss 17 of 36 greens, you're going to have trouble earning your keep anywhere. That was Holmes' clip during his visit this week. He neutralized five birdies with seven bogeys and a double. He's now 1-for-4 on the season with a forgettable T50 at Pebble Beach.

J.B. Holmes hasn't made any noise to start the 2013 season, but has a solid history at the Northern Trust Open and is in the field this week.

Holmes has made just one of his three cuts to kick off the year, and that was a mere T50 at Pebble Beach last week. If past performance at Riviera CC is any indicator, this could be the week that he turns it all around. He's seen the weekend in each of his six starts, including four top 10s and another top 25. He's finished inside the top eight in four of the last five seasons.

J.B. Holmes will kick off 2013 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

With the long South Course at Torrey Pines on tap, the bomber’s length could take center stage. He’s made the cut here five times in seven tries, but the real value of this week could be examining his form to get a feel for his game ahead of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He’s twice won in Phoenix.

J.B. Holmes bounced back from brain surgery to finish 2012 with eight top 25s and an 80th finish on the PGA TOUR money list.

Holmes didn't experience a drop off in length, ranking sixth in driving distance. His ties for eighth at the Northern Trust Open and Shell Houston Open both came on courses where that distance can be an advantage when harnessed. Finishing the year making his last six cuts, including a trip to Asia for the CIMB Classic, signals that all systems are a go for 2013.

J.B. Holmes has been removed from the published field of this week's Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic.

Holmes last competed at the CIMB Classic, where he placed T22. In official events, he went 20-for-25 with a pair of top 10s and over $1.17 million in earnings. Sufficed it to say that it was an impressive rebound from dual brain surgeries a year ago.

J.B. Holmes looks to turn a steady 2012 into something a little more spectacular at the CIMB Classic.

The bomber has only missed five (of 24) cuts, but has just two top 10s to show for it. The last was a T8 at the Shell Houston Open the week prior to the Masters. He finished 17th in his 2010 trip to Malaysia for this event, but had to skip last year due to his brain surgery.

J.B. Holmes enters the TPC Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship 55th in the FedExCup Standings.

The bomber comes into this week off a tie for 19th at The Barclays. That’s not surprising, as the Black Course at Bethpage is generally thought of as a haven for long hitters. He last took on TPC Boston in 2010 and tied for 11th. Should he put together a similar performance this week, he will skate into the third leg of the FedExCup Playoffs at Crooked Stick.

J.B. Holmes shot a 2-under-par 34-34=68 in his opening round of the RBC Canadian Open, reaching the clubhouse three strokes back of the co-leaders.

It's been a typical season for Holmes, but one that takes on a new meaning following dual brain surgeries in the second half of 2011. He's 13-for-17 with two top 10s and another three 25s, and arrived in Ontario ranked 80th in FedExCup points. Today he hit 14 greens and rolled in four birdies to erase two bogeys.

J.B. Holmes is in the hunt at The Greenbrier Classic after signing for a 4-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round.

Holmes started rather slowly, as he was 1-under through 11 holes. He then caught fire and circled birdies on his next three before settling for par on his final four holes. He was great with the irons, landing 15 GIR. For the week, his 83.3 percent GIR leads the field, and his 331.2 yard average off the tee is good for second. He enters the finale at 11-under 199.

J.B. Holmes spun a 5-under-par 34-31=65 in his opening round of The Greenbrier Classic to establish the very early clubhouse lead.

Holmes hit 16 greens an buried seven birdies, including on his last three holes to zoom up the leaderboard. He recorded a pair of highlights, converting birdies from 34'5" and 29'4" at the sixth and 11th holes, respectively. For all intents and purposes, he's back to the golfer he was prior to his affliction with vertigo that led to two brain surgeries. Entering this week, he had cashed in 12 of 16 starts with two top 10s and another three top 25s.
