For Kevin Na, 2006 was a lost season.
The 23-year-old from Rancho Cucamonga, coming off successful 2005 PGA Tour campaign in which he cracked $1 million in earnings for the first time, was limited to 11 events after slamming his hand in a car door in January. He made only five cuts and $146,099, which put him 205th on the money list.
"It was a bad year from a players' standpoint, but I was hurt," said Na, who shot a 2-under 69 in Saturday's third round to move into a tie for 19th at 5 under.
His lone bright spot last season came in a rehabilitation start at the Nationwide Tour's Mark Christopher Charity Classic in his hometown, which he won.
After finishing no higher than a tie for 67th in three previous PGA Tour starts this season, Na is glad to be playing well at Riviera.
"This is home," he said. "I look forward to this event every year."
