Compton also received an exemption last year and tied for 60th. He was allowed to ride in a cart, just five months after his second transplant. Tournament chairman Kevin Weickel says Compton will be walking this year.

Compton received the exemption Tuesday, a week after he was medalist by seven shots in the first stage of Q-school.

The tournament is Nov. 12-15, the final event on the PGA Tour schedule.
