Fredrik Jacobson recorded an even-par 35-37=72 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS.
This is Jacobson's first start since finishing T25 at the Masters. He's rested a hip injury in the interim. Today at TPC Sawgrass, he found only nine greens in regulation and traded four birdies with four bogeys. His par breakers included a hole-out from a greenside bunker at 12 and a conventional conversion from 10'6 at the first hole. He needs to shed the rust to extend his streak of seven consecutive top 25s.

A hip injury bumped him from last week's stop in New Orleans, so he's clearly not ready to give it a go. Consider him a question mark for next week's PLAYERS.

Fredrik Jacobson is listed in the published field of next week's Wells Fargo Championship.
The Swede withdrew from this week's stop in New Orleans on Wednesday due to a hip injury, but he still has an active streak of seven top 25s. He's traded four missed cuts with two top 20s in his last six trips to Quail Hollow, but he didn't compete last year.

Fredrik Jacobson has withdrawn from this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans due to a hip injury.
Better to know this now than later. Adjust your lineups accordingly as the Swede was a popular choice entering the tournament. He's strung together seven top 25s this season.

Fredrik Jacobson sits 47th in the latest Official World Golf Ranking, good enough to earn a trip to next week's Masters.
The Swede pulled out of the Shell Houston Open, perhaps to avoid missing the cut and threatening a berth into the season's first major. To wit, Geoff Ogilvy started the week sitting 50th in the OWGR, failed to cash at Redstone, and tumbled to 55th. The top 50 in the OWGR tonight earn an exemption. Jacobson will be making his fourth trip to the Masters. Two others previous ineligible secured tee times at Augusta National via the updated OWGR -- Henrik Stenson (42nd) and Richard Sterne (49th). Stenson has competed in the last seven editions of the Masters. Sterne will be making his third appearance; he didn't qualify for the last three.

Jacobson hasn't competed since finishing T16 at the WGC-Cadillac. He's currently 46th in the Official World Golf Ranking. The top 50 at the conclusion of golf this coming weekend earn berths into the Masters. The Swede is all but a lock for one of those exemptions.

Fredrik Jacobson settled for a 1-under-par 35-36=71 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship to inch up to 10-under 206.
After an opening eagle from 15'2", it looked like Jacobson would take it low and challenge the top of the leaderboard. Considering he played the final 17 holes in 1-over, with three bogeys and two birdies, he did not accomplish that task. Still, he can keep his strong start to 2013 intact with a solid final round.

Overnight co-leader Fredrik Jacobson backed up his opening 66 at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship with a 3-under-par 36-33=69 in his second round.
After hitting just 10 greens on Thursday, the Swede managed to find only 11 today, yet still circled six birdies to cancel out three bogeys. Three of his rolls dropped in from outside 11 feet, including conversions of 21'11" at the 17th hole and 18'11" at 9. He's 9-under 135 through two rounds, four strokes off the 36-hole lead.

Fredrik Jacobson carded a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship to earn a share of the clubhouse lead with Tiger Woods.
Jacobson continues to force us to pay attention. He hit only 10 greens in regulation today but limited the damage to a lone bogey at the par-4 second hole. After rolling in s par save from 20'10" at the seventh hole, he converted an eagle from 16'8" at the par-5 eighth. Then, on the heels of a standard two-putt par at the par-3 ninth, he buried his second eagle, this time from just 10'11" at the par-5 11th. In his debut at this event last year, he didn't break 71.

Fredrik Jacobson fell to Robert Garrigus 3 and 1 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Jacobson fought back from three down with eight to play to square the match, but Garrigus moves on to face Matt Kuchar to determine who will advance out of the Hogan Bracket. Perhaps the pivotal moment of the match came on the par-4 15th. Garrigus stepped onto the tee with a 1up lead, then smashed his driver onto the green and six feet from the hole for an eventually conceded eagle winner.

Fredrik Jacobson turned in a 4-and-3 victory over Marcus Fraser in the Hogan Bracket in the second round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Jacobson polished off the Aussie with birdie-3s at the 14th and 15th holes to secure a berth in the third round against Robert Garrigus. Fraser has nothing today, completing the 15 holes in 2-over with zero birdies. His only two wins were due to Jacobson bogeys.

Fredrik Jacobson upended Ernie Els 1 up in their opening match in the Hogan Bracket at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Both golfers shot 2-over-par over 18 holes, so it was poetic that Jacobson polished off his victory with a par at the par-4 18th hole. Els held an early lead that Jacobson squared by the eighth hole. The Swede wouldn't trail the rest of the way. He'll wipe the slate clean and start anew versus Marcus Fraser in Friday's second round.

Fredrik Jacobson thrilled the crowd in the final round of the Northern Trust Open with his 2-under-par 33-36=69, but came up one short shy of joining a playoff with his 10-under 274 tally.
Jacobson lived up to his multiple nicknames highlighting his penchant for short-game magic several times in the final round. None was more dramatic than his par save on the par-3 14th, escaping a sure bogey with a chip-in par. He stood over a 4'3" par attempt on the 18th that would have gotten him into a playoff with Charlie Beljan and John Merrick, but failed to convert. He now moves on to Dove Mountain for the WGC-Accenture Match Play.

Fredrik Jacobson surrendered his co-lead at the Northern Trust Open thanks to a 1-over-par 37-35=72, but finds himself tied for fifth at 8-under 205.
The Swedish Seve made 14 pars at Riviera CC, but the drama came at the par-4 fifth. After four pars to open, his 3-wood ran through the fairway and into the deep rough. It was such a bad lie, the he whiffed in his first attempt to advance the ball eventually leading to a double bogey. Birdies on the 10th and 11th holes squared his round, but he gave back one more at the par-5 17th despite a fairway approach from 107 yards.

Fredrik Jacobson backed up his opening 68 at the Northern Trust Open with a 6-under-par 31-34=65 in his second round to post 9-under 133, good for a share of the 36-hole lead with Sang-moon Bae.
The Swede hit 15 greens in regulation today and rattled home seven birdies, including an 18-yard hole-out at the ninth hole followed by a conventional run from 11'8" at 10. His only blemish was a bogey-5 at the 15th.

Fredrik Jacobson signed for a 3-under-par 35-33=68 following his opening round of the Northern Trust Open.
The scorecard looks a lot better than he played tee to green today. Jacobson split only eight (of 14) fairways and hit just 11 greens in regulation but limited the damage to one bogey (at the par-3 fourth hole). His most notable par save was also his longest conversion of the day, a 10-yard hole-out from off the green at 2. Included in his set of four birdies were respective conversions from 10'3" and 20 feet at Nos. 11 and 7.

Fredrik Jacobson roared out of the gates on his way to a final-round 5-under-par 32-35=67 at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am to finish the week at 12-under 274.
The Junkman started on fire, circling six birdies in his first 13 holes. In a fashion fitting his nickname, two came by virtue of putts longer than 30 feet and his two on the par-3 12th was a hole-out from 18 yards. He would finally stall, squaring a bogey on the 15th and surrounding it with four pars on the way to the clubhouse. He is next scheduled to tee it up at the Northern Trust Open.

Fredrik Jacobson carded a 6-under-par 31-35=66 at Pebble Beach in his second round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, reaching the midpoint in 7-under 137, good for temporary possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.
The Junkman hit only 12 greens in regulation today but he converted seven birdies including four straight to close out his opening nine (the back side of Pebble Beach). His longest birdies disappeared from 10'7" at the 13th hole and 12'8" at 3, but he also recorded a zero-putt par save from five yards off the green at the difficult par-5 14th hole. Jacobson will conclude his rotation at Monterey Peninsula Country Club's Shore Course on Saturday.

Fredrik Jacobson will get his 2013 season underway at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
In seven previous trips to TPC Scottsdale, the Swede has seen the weekend six times including one top 10. Considering that top ten was a share of ninth in his first trip, back in 2004, and his most recent venture to the desert was a missed cut, it might be wise to sit this one out. There will be other spots to use him up later in the season.
