The 2009 season offers some sense of urgency for Aaron Baddeley since the two-year exemption he received from winning the FBR Open in 2007 will expire. Given the way he's played over the last four years, though, that shouldn't be an issue. Baddeley hit seven figures again last year thanks to another solid season with three top-10s and nine finishes among the top 25. His best came at the Verizon Heritage, where he had his breakthrough win in 2006, as Baddeley tied for second behind Boo Weekley. The young Aussie, who finished 43rd in the FedExCup, finished 10th at the BMW Championship but that wasn't enough to boost him into THE TOUR Championship for the second straight year. His next and final event was the Frys.com Open in his adopted hometown of Scottsdale, Ariz., where he closed out with a solid tie for 11th. -- Helen Ross
