2011: Made 20 PGA TOUR starts, netting a pair of top-10 finishes. Picked up his first top-10 in his 12th start of the season, at the Viking Classic, where he posted four rounds in the 60s (68-68-67-67) to finish T9. Thanks to eight birdies and an eagle in the final round of the Frys.com Open, good for a 7-under 64, recorded his career-best finish on TOUR, with T4 honors. His 64 tied the low round of the day with tournament winner Bryce Molder. Previous-best finish on TOUR was a T5 at the 1996 Greater Vancouver Open. 2010: Made the cut in his first three events of the season, before breaking his hand. Returned in November, but missed the cut at the Children's Miracle Network Classic. 2009: Shot a final-round 7-under 65 at the PGA TOUR Q-School to guarantee status for 2010 as a TOUR qualifier.

Posted his career-low round on TOUR in his first event of the season, with a third-round 63 at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Recorded the second top-10 of his career and only one of the season, a T7 at the BellSouth Classic, in April. 2005: Finished eighth on the 2005 Nationwide Tour money list to return to the TOUR for the first time since 1997.

A promising junior tennis player, he gave up the game to concentrate on golf after losing a big match to future No. 1-ranked Andre Agassi. One of biggest thrills in golf was first tournament win in 1994, the Southwest Kansas Pro-Am. |
