DUBLIN, Ohio – Following two pedestrian rounds last year at the Memorial, Bud Cauley had nothing to prepare for having missed the cut and decided to join some friends for a night out.

Around 11 p.m. ET on June 1, 2018, Cauley’s life drastically changed when the BMW he was riding in struck a driveway culvert and become airborne before hitting a large tree and coming to rest in a ditch.

Cauley suffered broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a leg fracture and didn’t play on the PGA Tour again for more than four months. His return to Muirfield Village this week has been a much different experience.
