Finished T41 at the Transitions Championship in his hometown of Tampa. Earned the best finish of his PGA TOUR career in just his second start of 2010 with a solo second-place performance at the Reno-Tahoe Open, one-stroke behind Matt Bettencourt. Lipped out a birdie putt from 3 feet, 4 inches on the 72nd hole that would have forced a playoff. Began the week playing in the Monday qualifier for the Nationwide Tour's Chiquita Classic before getting into that field as an alternate and later finding out he was in the Reno-Tahoe Open as an alternate. Also made the cut the following week at the RBC Canadian Open, ending the year with more than $355,000. Made only two cuts in 12 starts on the Nationwide Tour with his top finish a T44 at the Mexico Open Bicenterary. 2009: Earned one top-10, a T8 at Buick Open, while making 11 cuts in 20 starts. Was 100 percent in Sand Saves (7 of 7) at Buick Open where he was also the only player in the field to play the front nine bogey free for the week. Matched his career-low round with a 63 in the opening round of Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open to be one stroke off the lead, eventually finishing T19 for his only other top-25 finish of the season. 2008: Made seven cuts in 17 starts on the PGA TOUR, with a best finish coming with a T11 at the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. Successfully made his way through final two stages of the 2008 PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament to earn exempt status for the 2009 season. 2007: Finished 136th on the 2007 money list with three top-25s, including two top-10 finishes in 27 starts. Birdied the final three holes of the final round to finish T5 at the 2007 U.S. Bank Championship, matching best career finish on the PGA TOUR (2005 Valero Texas Open). One week later, finished T5 at the Canadian Open with four rounds in the 60s. Top-10s in two-week span matched career totals. In two weeks, jumped from 174th to 121st on the season money list. Earned TOUR card for 2007 with T8 finish at 2006 the PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament. 2006: Finished No. 43 on Nationwide Tour money list, with four top-10s in 29 starts. Best finish was T5 at The Rex Hospital Open. 2005: Posted lone TOUR top-10 of the season and only the second of his career with his T5 finish at the Valero Texas Open. His $133,000 paycheck was more than he made in his first two seasons as a member of the TOUR. 2004: Finished No. 77 on the Nationwide Tour money list. 2003: Logged two top-10s and ended the year No. 44 on the Nationwide Tour money list. 2002: Posted two top-25s and finished 192nd on TOUR money list. 2000: First career top-10 was T10 at the 2000 B.C.
