The curtain has finally come down on the 2013/2014 PGA Tour season after 48 weeks and 45 tournaments. The first ‘wrap-around’ (or non-calendar year) season yielded six Australian victories, including first-ever titles for Steven Bowditch and Matt Jones.

Below is Golf Australia magazine’s report card for the 13 Aussies fully exempt on the PGA Tour this season:

Robert Allenby (E+)

Prizemoney: US$514,288 (145th). World ranking: 392

Best result: T-16, OHL Classic at Mayakoba.

Best stat: Greens in regulation (27th, 67.63%). Worst stat: All-around ranking (154th).

Comment: An improved year after a horrific 2013 but Allenby is still nowhere near the Tour’s top echelon.

Stuart Appleby (C+)

Prizemoney: US$1,477,971 (71st). World ranking: 104

Best result: T-2, The Barclays.

Best stat: Strokes gained: putting (12th, 0.480). Worst stat: Driving distance (159th, 278.6 yards).

Comment: A big result at the first FedEx Cup Playoff event turned a mediocre season into a satisfactory one.

Aaron Baddeley (C-)

Prizemoney: US$942,559 (102nd). World ranking: 182

Best result: 4th, Travellers Championship.

Best stat: Strokes gained: putting (2nd, 0.873). Worst stat: Driving accuracy (175th, 52.29%).

Comment: Still woefully inconsistent but on weeks when his ball-striking co-operates Badds’ always-hot putter has him in contention. Those weeks just don’t happen often enough.

Steven Bowditch (B)

Prizemoney: US$1,734,693 (57th). World ranking: 120

Best result: 1st, Valero Texas Open.

Best stat: Driving distance (29th, 298.1 yards). Worst stat: Strokes gained: putting (169th, -0.581).

Comment: Brilliant breakthrough victory in Texas but little else to show outside it. The win was Bowditch’s lone top-ten finish.

Greg Chalmers (D-)

Prizemoney: US$578,979 (139th). World ranking: 352

Best result: T-10, McGladrey Classic.

Best stat: Strokes gained: putting (3rd, 0.855). Worst stat: Strokes gained: tee-to-green (175th, -1.033).

Comment: A brilliant putting game isn’t saving shortcomings from tee to green.

Jason Day (A)

Prizemoney: US$3,789,574 (16th). World ranking: 8

Best result: 1st, WGC–Accenture Match Play Championship.

Best stat: Scoring average (8th, 69.626). Worst stat: Driving accuracy (131st, 58.72%).

Comment: An injury-hampered season still yielded a big WGC win and two strong showings in the US majors. Needs to find a way to close when in contention.

Scott Gardiner (F)

Prizemoney: US$209,270 (183rd). World ranking: 411

Best result: T-13, AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Best stat: N/A. Worst stat: N/A.

Comment: Very little to feel excited about in a difficult season.

Matt Jones (B)

Prizemoney: US$1,928,154 (47th). World ranking: 59

Best result: 1st, Shell Houston Open.

Best stat: Driving distance (41st, 296.3 yards). Worst stat: Sand save percentage (159th, 41.83%).

Comment: Another player to make a big splash by winning in Texas but like Bowditch that was Jones’ only top-ten for the season.

Bronson La’Cassie (F)

Prizemoney: US$160,632 (190th). World ranking: 513

Best result: T-21, Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Best stat: Sand save percentage (75th, 51.11%). Worst stat: Scoring average (166th, 71.772).

Comment: Much like Gardiner, La’Cassie struggled to make the transition from the secondary Web.com circuit to the big league.

Marc Leishman (B)

Prizemoney: US$2,558,657 (32nd). World ranking: 43

Best result: T-2, Farmers Insurance Open.

Best stat: All-around ranking (16th). Worst stat: Driving accuracy (141st, 57.97%).

Comment: Numerous top-five results made for a healthy bank balance but the trophy cabinet still remains too bare given Leishman’s indisputable all-around talent.

Geoff Ogilvy (B+)

Prizemoney: US$1,809,632 (54th). World ranking: 75

Best result: 1st, Barracuda Championship.

Best stat: Driving distance (68th, 292.5 yards). Worst stat: Strokes gained: putting (150th, -0.333).

Comment: Ogilvy saved a potentially lost season with victory at the alternate-field, modified Stableford event then surged through the FedEx Cup Playoffs to set up starts at all the majors and WGC events in 2015.

Adam Scott (A+)

Prizemoney: US$4,098,588 (13th). World ranking: 2

Best result: 1st, Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Best stat: All-around ranking (1st). Worst stat: Driving accuracy (80th, 61.51%).

Comment: Phenomenal consistency is the hallmark of the 2011 to 2014 version of Adam Scott, with just one finish outside the top-25 this season, but one win might still be underachieving given how often he’s on the leaderboard. Bonus marks for reaching World No.1 for 11 weeks mid-season.

John Senden (A-)

Prizemoney: US$2,856,685 (25th). World ranking: 50

Best result: 1st, Valspar Championship.

Best stats: Strokes gained: putting (13th, 0.474), sand save percentage (13th, 59.01%). Worst stat: Driving distance (95th, 288.9 yards).

Comment: A vastly improved year for Senden, whose rising short-game statistics signal where the turnaround stemmed from.
