is tied for 3rd place with a score of -12 in the Frys.com Open Golf Tournament through 9 holes, he trails the leader Briny Baird -14 and Ernis Els -13 with nine more holes to play.

For a first year player on the PGA tour, this young man has had a fantastic start to his Pro career.

Tiger Woods is at -6 with one hole to play.

Cauley -15, has his career best finish in his young golf career. He will finish in 3rd place alone behind Briny Baird and Bryan Moulter who are tied at -17 and are now a playoff.

I'm sure this will do great things for Cauley in his effort to earn his players card for next year.

Cauley has had several good finishes this year. He may be high enough on the money list to get his card without going to Q School.

This is what I'm hoping for.

I've been looking at Bud's stats and he had a big day today. His third place finish won him $340,000 and all but assures him of getting his tour card.

NBC Sports Article:

SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Bud Cauley may have come up just shy of his first PGA Tour win, but a third place finish for the Alabama product at the Frys.com Open all but assures his card for 2012.

Cauley closed with 5-under 66 to finish in solo third and earn $340,000 for the effort at CordeValle. Combined with the $331,150 made in his first six starts as a professional, he will have enough to surge into the equivalent of 114th on the money list.

Barring an accounting anamoly, Cauley will finish the year inside the top-125 on the money list. He is looking good to become the first player since Ryan Moore in 2005 to earn his tour card as a rookie without having to go to Q-school.

The last guy to do that before Moore? Tiger Woods.

Thanks for posting this, I couldn't remember if it was the top 100 or top 125 players. That is just great and puts him into some tall cotton when you get recognized with Tiger in his early years.

If you quick calculate our boy's expenses he needs to win a couple of these each year. Roughing it in--I calculated his travel and all-- times (X) 2.

BTW, I wrote of any sponsorship money as taxes and retirement account, just for simplicity.

WV, how much did you figure a week/tournament?

He has made $671,150 in 7 tournaments. I think he's doing OK.
