| Assets: | A brilliant putter, especially from short and mid range. Also possesses a very nice touch around the greens and can really dial it from 150 yards in with short irons. A good feel player. |
| Flaws: | Has a very defensive approach that prevents him from contending on a regular basis. Not a very consistent driver of the golf ball and needs to have all parts of his game clicking at the same time to score well. |
| Career Potential: | Inconsistent above-average player with occasional flashes of brilliance. |

Poor ball-striking takes Baddeley to Zurich | 04/24/2013 9:38 PM
News
Aaron Baddeley sneaks into the Zurich Classic of New Orleans a little under the radar.
PGATOUR.com
Impact
The Aussie has made his last three cuts, with a T15 at the Valero Texas Open the highlight. He's only played TPC Louisiana one time, and that resulted in a T28 in 2010. He's 180th in ball-striking and sixth in strokes gained-putting. That needs no further explanation. |

Baddeley owns solid record at Arnold Palmer | 03/20/2013 10:09 PM
News
Aaron Baddeley will tee it up in the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week.
PGATOUR.com
Impact
The Aussie owns a solid record in the event, making his last six cuts with his only miss coming in his first event. He last played Bay Hill in 2011, sharing 12th. He's made a steady five of six cuts to start the year, but his last two starts were his worst two. That said, expect him to at least see the weekend this week. |

PGATOUR.com
Impact
Baddeley's round was blemish-free, and he made the most of the par 5s. He circled three birdies on Pebble's par 5s, with a par on the difficult 14th sprinkled in. He also added birdies on the difficult par-4 eighth and the par-4 16th. He now heads to the Northern Trust Open, where he claimed the victory in 2011 by two strokes over Vijay Singh. |

Baddeley nabs first top 10 of 2013 at Farmers | 01/28/2013 6:19 PM
News
Aaron Baddeley had a busy day on his scorecard in the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open, signing for a 3-under-par 34-35=69.
PGATOUR.com
Impact
The Aussie comes off a season where he garnered just three top 10s, but his 8-under 280 means he'll go ahead and get the monkey off his back in just his second start of 2013. His round included five birdies, an eagle, but four bogeys. He now moves on to the Waste Management Phoenix Open where he is a past winner. |

Baddeley still in the groove at the Humana | 01/18/2013 7:48 PM
News
Aaron Baddeley answered his opening 64 at the Humana Challenge with a 34-34=68 at La Quinta Country Club in his second round to reach the midpoint in 12-under 132, two back of the 36-hole clubhouse co-leaders.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
It wasn't necessarily a lackluster Friday for the Aussie, but 68s don't usually lead to victories in this tournament. He buried five birdies to offset a late bogey. He'll play Saturday's third round at PGA West's Nicklaus Private where he can turn on the afterburners given it's been the PGA TOUR's easiest course in three of the last four years. |

Baddeley bags two eagles to take early lead | 01/17/2013 6:06 PM
News
Aaron Baddeley spun an 8-under-par 33-31=64 at PGA West's Palmer Private in his opening round of the Humana Challenge to stake early possession of the clubhouse lead.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
A huge and welcome round by the Aussie to begin his season fresh off the birth of his third child. He hit 12 greens and converted two late eagles to go with six birdies. Both eagles disappeared on par 5s, the first of which measuring 28'10" at the 14th hole. He also eagled 18. Four of his birdies dropped in from 12 feet and beyond, including rolls of 45'1" at the third and 23'8" at 17. Badds will grapple with La Quinta on Friday. |

Putter props up Baddeley ahead of Humana | 01/16/2013 10:32 PM
News
The Humana Challenge marks the start of the 2013 season for Aaron Baddeley.
PGATOUR.com
Impact
The Aussie struggled with ball-striking in 2012, limping in at 177th on TOUR. Ever the steady putter, if he can dial his irons in, he can be deadly. With the President's Cup looming later in the year, he will have plenty of reason to give his best effort early and often this season. |
