Though Love had an up-and-down day with seven birdies, three bogeys and a couple of other missed chances, he's confirming a strong recovery from back surgery that's kept him out for most of 2013.

The last time Appleby won was at the 2010 Greenbrier Classic, where he fired a final-round 59 to win by a stroke. That was also his last top 10 on the PGA...
