Appleby Honored By Peers

Stuart Appleby was named the PGA Tour's comeback player of the year for 2010

December 13, 2010

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Stuart Appleby has been voted the PGA Tour comeback player of the year after going from his worst season to a magical win.

Appleby won The Greenbrier Classic by closing with a 59, making him one of only two players to hit golf's magic number in the last round. His historic win followed a year in which he finished outside the top 125 on the money list for the first time since his rookie season.

The Australian used a one-time exemption for career money to keep his card. His win helped him to finish 38th on the money list, and he topped off his year by winning the Australian Masters.

Players voted for Appleby over Rocco Mediate and Arjun Atwal.
