MORE TOP 100 PLAYERS: BACK to Player No. 83 | FORWARD to Player No. 81 | Top 100 archive

Another solid season. Another $1 million in his bank account. Consistent, to be sure, but can Peter Lonard get back into the victory column in 2009? The Aussie picked up his only TOUR win at the 2005 MCI Heritage. He came close at last year's Zurich Classic of New Orleans, but Lonard bogeyed the 17th hole on Sunday and couldn't birdie the next so Andres Romero got the breakthrough victory. Lonard's earnings improved from 2007 to '08, but his numbers dropped in several key statistics - scoring average, driving distance, fairways hit and greens in regulation. And his performance on the weekend was a mixed bag: Lonard averaged 138th in scoring on Saturday but was ninth in the final round. -- Helen Ross
