Career Highlights

2011: Finished inside the top 100 (No. 81) in the FedExCup standings for the third consecutive season. Added a second Australian Open title to his resume late in the year, his first title of any kind since the 2008 Henrico County Open on the Nationwide Tour.

Holed his second shot at the par-4 third hole with a wedge for an eagle-2 in the final round of the Shell Houston Open en route to T8 honors, his best finish since a T4 at the 2010 RBC Canadian Open.

Following a fifth-place finish in 2010, claimed T8 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in his 10th start in the event. It was the 18th top-10 finish of his career since his first in 2005.

Recorded an ace on the 16th hole during the second round of the Deutsche Bank Championship with a 9-iron from 146 yards, his third-career hole-in-one on TOUR (2004 John Deere Classic and 2009 Puerto Rico Open).

Began the final round of the Australian Open two strokes behind fellow Aussie John Senden. Shot a 3-under 69 Sunday at The Lakes GC in Sydney to take the clubhouse lead and then watched as Senden's long birdie putt that would have forced a playoff on the 72nd hole just missed.

Won for the second time in three weeks when he captured the Australian PGA Championship. He joined Robert Allenby and Marcus Fraser in a playoff that ended quickly when he made par on the first playoff hole after Fraser and Allenby both had errant tee shots. 2010: Posted two top-10 finishes on the season and a career-best 56th-place finish in the FedExCup standings. Completed the season comfortably inside the top 100 on the TOUR money list (No. 91).

Posted his first top-10 of the season in his 10th start of the year with a fifth-place showing at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Was one of five Australians to finish in the top 10 at TPC Louisiana.

Improved on his New Orleans finish after a final-round, 5-under 65 at the RBC Canadian Open. He was among nine players to finish T4 at St. George's G&CC. 2009: Posted two top-10s. First was a T4 at the 2009 Puerto Rico Open.

Held a two-stroke lead through 36 holes at the U.S. Bank Championship after opening 64-67. One off Frank Lickliter's 54-hole lead, but posted final-round 71 playing in final group on Sunday to fade to T15.

Equaled career-best finish with a T2 at Buick Open where he was the only player in the field to shoot all four rounds in the 60s. Finished three behind Tiger Woods. Jumped 45 spots to No. 77 in the FedExCup standings.

Finished second to Woods in mid-November at the JBWere Masters by two strokes. 2008: Following 10 top-10 finishes highlighted by a playoff victory at the Henrico County Open, finished eighth on the Nationwide Tour money list to graduate to the PGA TOUR in 2009. 2007: Claimed three top-10 finishes on the Nationwide Tour and placed 44th on the money list. 2006: Eight made cuts in 28 PGA TOUR starts. 2005: Finished 14th on the Nationwide Tour money list thanks in large part to his first victory at the Albertsons Boise Open. Defeated Danny Ellis with a birdie on the first playoff hole. Graduated to the PGA TOUR for 2006. 2004: Fell out of top 150 (No. 156) for the first time in his career after posting just two top-10s. 2003: Fell out of the top 125 for the first time since 1999.

Recorded his only top 10 of the season with a T7 at the Wachovia Championship, four strokes behind David Toms. He joined Brent Geiberger as only other player to post all four rounds under par on the week at Quail Hollow Club. 2002: Made 31 starts on the TOUR, finishing in the top-25 seven times.

Posted best round of tournament at Buick Invitational with final-round 63 to move from T78 to T13, matching the low final round in tournament history (Tommy Nakajima, 1984).

First top-10 came at the Greater Milwaukee Open, where four rounds in 60s produced T5.

Second top-10 finish was T4 at Bell Canadian Open. Finished one stroke out of three-way playoff (champion John Rollins, Lancaster, Justin Leonard) after final-round 71. 2001: Opened the season with his best finish, a T5 at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Earned $237,000 of his $692,170 total on the West Coast Swing.

Disqualified himself from the Kemper Insurance Open on Monday morning after an inadvertent rules violation. Told his fellow competitor's caddie, after a bad tee shot:
