Current Year Nationwide Tour Highlights

Made 23 starts in 2010 and had six top-10 finishes, including a win in the final full-field event of the year, the inaugural Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open. The victory secured his spot among the top-25 money winners and earned him a return trip to the PGA TOUR in 2011. Finished the year No. 13, thanks to his late-season efforts. Fired a final-round 69 at TPC Sawgrass to erase a three-stroke deficit and win by one over three others. Had built a three-shot lead early on the back nine before stumbling with a bogey at No. 14 and a double-bogey at No. 16 and opening the door for several challengers. Made par on the demanding 17th and 18th holes to finish at 8-under, the only single-digit winning score on Tour in 2010. The victory was the second of his Nationwide Tour career. The first-place check for $108,000 moved him from No. 35 to No. 12 on the money list with only the Tour Championship remaining on the schedule.

Posted his first top-10 finish of the year, at The Rex Hospital Open in May. Finished T9 when officials shortened the tournament to 54 holes due to heavy rain, which wiped out the final round.

Kept his solid play going by finishing T10 the next week at the Melwood Prince George's County Open. Was T21 heading into the final round. Fired a 66 Sunday which included five birdies and an eagle.

His third consecutive top-10 effort came at the Fort Smith Classic, where he shot a 7-under 63 on the last day to move up to T7.

Finished T3 at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitationa in July, thanks to a 5-under 66 in the final round at Ohio State University's Scarlet Course. Ended the week at 8-under 276, two strokes back of winner D.J. Brigman.
