Kyle Thompson survived the cut on the number at the True South Classic.

The cut finally fell this afternoon at Annandale Golf Club. Thompson posted 3-under-par 69-72=141 from the late-early draw, and then waited as the other half of the field reached the midpoint. When all golfers had concluded 36 holes, nine were tied for 67th place at 141. It's no small achievement for Thompson, who returned to the PGA TOUR this year via the Web.com Tour. He was 0-for-15 entering the week, and goes in the books as the last of all 2011 graduates to clinch a payday. After he learned he was playing the weekend in Mississippi, he wrote the following on Twitter: "Well I finally made a cut and got this 1000 lb. gorilla off my back! Now it's time to finish this year off strong."

After missing the cut at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, he's 0-for-11 this season on the PGA TOUR. Nevertheless, there is joy in the knowledge that he'll be making his debut in a major at Olympic Club.

Kyle Thompson settled for an 8-over-par 43-37=80 in his opening round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

As we relayed last week, Thompson tweeted that he was suffering from vertigo and a case of pink eye. While he missed only one fairway today, he hit only eight greens. He started on the 10th hole and promptly bogeyed his first three before a birdie at 13. He'd add another bogey and two doubles before making the turn.

Kyle Thompson withdrew from the Valero Texas Open with two holes remaining in his second round.

Thompson was 5-over-par through 16 holes and 9-over for the tournament at the time he walked off. He didn't return when play resumed at 3:05 p.m. CT. After his opening 76 on Thursday, he wrote the following on Twitter: "Just saw a doctor and the good new [sic] is that it's not the flu. Bad news is I have vertigo." Then prior to today's loop, he added:) "Doc also told me I've got pink eye. What is going on here?? Today's round should be interesting to say the least." The 2011 Nationwide Tour grad is now 0-for-7 on the PGA TOUR this season. Assuming he's able, he give it another go at next week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans where he's listed in the published field.

Kyle Thompson signed for a bogey-free 6-under 66 in the opening round of the inaugural Puerto Rico Open.

The PGA Tour rookie has had a limited impact thus far, missing the cut in his last four events after an MDF at the Sony and a T-50 at the Hope. Give the 28-year old much more playing time before relying on him in any format.
