Stuart Appleby is one of the most consistent players on the PGA TOUR, so why wouldn't he have confidence heading into the 2009 campaign? After all, he's coming off his 10th straight seven-figure season and a career-high seven top-10s. Five of those top-10s came in Appleby's first five starts of the season but he didnt have another until August when he tied for second at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. Appleby is the only player to have competed in every event in the global series. Appleby's final top 10 came at THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola, his fourth in 10 appearances there. Further evidence of the Aussie's consistency can be found in the fact that he made the cut in 21 of 23 starts on TOUR last year. -- Helen Ross
