Brendan Steele notched his fourth top-10 finish on the PGA Tour this season, posting a four-under-par 69-76-68-71 — 284 at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio last week. Seventeen birdies against 13 bogeys earned his second top-10 finish in as many tournaments.

The Idyllwild native’s drives averaged 303 yards into 69% of the fairways and he hit two-thirds of the greens in regulation, while with the putter he gained a fraction of a stroke per day on the field.

Brendan’s four-over-par second round hurt him last week; an even par second round would have netted him sole possession of third place at tournament’s end. But he responded with an excellent opening nine holes in the third round, when he posted four birdies against a lone bogey, scoring a fine 33.

Brendan now stands in 47th place on the PGA’s FedExCup points list, and he now is ranked 110th on the Official World Golf Rankings.

B has this week off.
