Was one of 15 players tied for 60th place after 36 holes. Missed the cut at the U.S. Open and finished T18 at the Reno-Tahoe Classic. 2009:Struggled during the year and made only one cut in 17 starts on Tour. 2008: Made the cut in nine of 21 starts on the PGA TOUR and had four top-10s. Rallied during the fall season with three top-10s in a four-week stretch to maintain his standing inside the top 150 on the money list. Was No. 198 on the money list after the Wyndham Championship before a T4 at the Viking Classic and a T3 at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in back-to-back weeks moved him to No. 139.

Only other top finish was a T10 at the Puerto Rico Open. 2007: Returned to the PGA TOUR full time after one year on the Nationwide Tour, thanks to a T29 finish at the 2006 PGA TOUR National Qualifying Tournament. Limited to 18 events in 2007 due to a double hernia diagnosed on Sept. 14 and subsequent surgery on Oct. 5 that kept him out of action most of the fall. Granted Minor Medical Extension and has six events in 2008 to earn $217,121 (combined with 2007 earnings of $568,059, would equal 2007's No. 125 earnings of $785,180) and be elevated to Major Medical Extension status for the remainder of the 2008 campaign. Posted one top-10 in 2007, a T7 at the Canadian Open in his fourth start. Held a share of the 36-hole lead with John Mallinger.

Finished No. 46 on the money list, with $125,203. Posted his first top 10 of the season at the Jacob's Creek Open Championship, finishing T8.

Jumped out to a one-stroke lead after the first round at the Xerox Classic before eventually placing T6. 2004: Finished No. 121 on the PGA TOUR money list. Opened the season tying the Waialae CC's course record at the Sony Open in Hawaii with a second-round 8-under-par 62. Had a two-stroke lead heading to the 72nd hole of regulation at the Reno-Tahoe Open. His third shot, from a greenside bunker, flew 10 yards over the green. He missed a 4-foot putt for bogey and made double bogey, dropping to 10-under and into a four-man playoff. Rookie Vaughn Taylor claimed his first TOUR victory, rolling in an 11-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole. His T2 matched career-best finish on TOUR (2003 Greater Milwaukee Open). 2003: Prior to his first full season on the Nationwide Tour, made all five previous career starts on the Nationwide Tour, with his best showing at T3 in his first start at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open.
