Navajo / Pueblo golfer Notah Begay III says he's ready to play again after finishing the last season out of the top 125.

Normally, finishing so low would knock a player out of the PGA Tour. But since Begay qualifies for a medical exception, he has five more events next year to boost his rating, a goal he says he will achieve.

Begay has suffered back injuries over the years that have prevented him from playing. He struggled with an alcohol problem and depression, and once said there were times when he didn't want to get out of bed.
