Brendan returns to the PGA Tour this week after more than a month agonising over a debilitating back injury that has had him wondering just when he would get back to tournament golf.

The 84 Lumber Classic will witness Brendan's return and although he suggests he is rusty he is just pleased to be back. "The pain is still there but at least it is now not the stabbing pain that it has been and it feels that I will be able to play with it ok."

"The course was firm and fast when I played it on Tuesday but there has been rain since and has softened it up. It will play its full length."

This will be Brendan's first time to the Pete Dye designed Mystic Rock layout at Nemacolin Resort in Famington Pennsylvania. He has an 8.54 tee time on day one.
