2011: Made the cut in 12 of 23 starts but had only one top-10 finish—a T6 to begin the year at the Panama Claro Championship. 2010: Played in 24 events and made 13 cuts to finish No. 68 on the money list. At the BMW Charity Pro-Am, posted his first top-10 of the year, a T7, after making just one cut in his first five starts. Had a hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth hole in the final round, which led to the low round of the day, a 62. Notched his second top-10 finish and best performance of the year in October at the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open, where he was T5 at TPC Sawgrass Dye's Valley Course. 2009: Sophomore PGA TOUR season resulted in nine made cuts in 16 starts. Among four top-25 finishes was a season-best T11 at the Valero Texas Open, which was set up by a second-round 63 (tying his career low round during the second round of the 2008 Children's Miracle Network Classic). Only made cut in five starts on the Nationwide Tour was a T9 at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open, where he held a share of the 54-hole lead with eventual winner Bubba Dickerson. Final-round 72 left him two shots out of a playoff. 2008: Played rookie season on the PGA TOUR and secured conditional 2009 PGA TOUR status with No. 144 finish on the money list. Made the cut in 17 of 28 starts, with two top-10 finishes. Made late-season push with T8 finish at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and T6 at season-ending Children's Miracle Network Classic (thanks to second-round 63).

Shot a second-round 65 to get to the weekend. 2007: Made the cut in 17 of 28 Nationwide Tour events, including seven top-25s and a win.
