Career Highlights

Member of the Nationwide Tour in 1998 and 2000-04 and a member of the PGA TOUR in 1999 and 2005-2010. 2011: Split time between the PGA TOUR and Nationwide Tour. Claimed one top-25 finish in 10 starts on the PGA TOUR and netted top 10s in his first two of 19 Nationwide Tour starts.

Earned his first top-10 of the year with a T9 at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open.

Added a T3 a few weeks later at the South Georgia Classic, his best finish on Tour since winning in consecutive weeks in 2004. 2010: First top 10 since 2008 came at the Turning Stone Resort Championship, where he finished T10, his third top-10 in four starts at the event. Tied the Atunyote GC course record with a third-round 63.

Posted a T6 at the Frys.com Open during the Fall Series to creep closer to the top 125 on the official money list, from No. 173 to No. 158.

Finished T9 at the Children's Miracle Network Classic, his second top-10 in the final three events of the season. 2009: Missed just seven cuts in 20 starts on the PGA TOUR. Of his 13 made cuts, four were top-25 finishes. Finished out of the top 125 on the PGA TOUR for the first time in four years in 2008. 2008: Played in the final group at the FBR Open, entering the final round two behind J.B. Holmes' 14-under lead. Birdied the final hole to claim solo third, his best finish since a T2 at the 2007 Reno-Tahoe Open, and his only top-10 of the season. 2007: Finished in the top 100 (No. 91) on the PGA TOUR money list for the third consecutive season with three top-10s, including a career-best runner-up finish at the Reno-Tahoe Open. Led the TOUR in the Total Driving (totaling rank in Driving Distance and Driving Accuracy). 2006: Recorded a career-high nine top-25s with a best finish of T6 at the 84 LUMBER Classic, five strokes behind champion Ben Curtis. 2005: Earned more in his first three starts than he did in 26 starts. 2005: Made the best of his second opportunity on TOUR, and first in six years, earning more in his first three starts than he did in 26 starts in 1999. Surpassed the $1-million mark with four top-10s.

First career top-10, an eighth at the FBR Open in Phoenix, came in his 33rd career TOUR start. Only player in field to record four rounds in the 60s, his first time accomplishing that feat.

Opened with a career-best and course-record 62 and held the first-round lead at the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro. Dropped to T15 through 54 holes after rounds of 74-70, but a closing 7-under 65 moved him back to T3, his career-best finish. 2004: Concluded the Nationwide Tour season No. 8 on the money list, with $275,138 and two wins. At the Samsung Canadian PGA Championship tallied his second career win with a final score of 19-under 269. Won by seven, and his 7-under 65 in the second round was a new course record.

Became the eighth player to win in consecutive starts on Tour with his victory at the Cox Classic. 2003: Finished No. 28 on the Nationwide Tour money list.

Recorded a hole-in-one during the final round of the SAS Carolina Classic. Came back two weeks later and posted another ace during the first round of the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic.

Best finish of the season was a T2 at the Albertsons Boise Open. 2002: Wound up No. 16 on the Nationwide Tour money list, less than $10,000 behind Todd Barranger and the final exemption spot for the 2003 PGA TOUR. Earned his first career title at the BMW Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs, with a record-tying 23-under-par total. Final-round 68 gave him a four-stroke win over Todd Fischer.

Made the cut in eight of 26 TOUR events, with one top-25 finish.
Personal

Says his biggest thrills in golf were being at the 1986 Masters Tournament on Sunday when Jack Nicklaus rallied to win his sixth green jacket and playing in the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach GL. Biggest thrill outside of golf was being inducted into the Clemson Ring of Honor. Favorite course he's played is Augusta National and would like to play Pine Valley. Never travels without his sound machine for sleeping. First car was a 1986 Buick Century. Now owns a Chevy Tahoe.

Favorite college team is the Clemson Tigers. Favorite professional team is the Carolina Panthers.

Favorite TV show is "Entourage," with "Hoosiers" his favorite movie.

Favorite food is steak. Favorite cities to visit are New York, Monterey, CA, and Clemson, SC.

Charity work includes Tiger Golf Gathering.
