|
2011: Failed to record a top-10 finish in a career-high 26 starts on the PGA TOUR. Four rounds in the 60s led a season-best T13 finish at the Viking Classic. Wound up making the cut 12 times. Also missed the cut at the Albertsons Boise Open, his only Nationwide Tour start. 2006: Rookie on the PGA TOUR after finishing T26 at the 2005 PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament. Made it through all three stages of Q-School that year and made it to finals for the first time since he began trying to qualify in 1998. Went on to record one top-25 finish (T17 at the John Deere Classic) among four made cuts in 22 starts. Prior to that, had made the cut in one of three previous TOUR events. Had his career-best finish on the Nationwide Tour, a T16 at the LaSalle Bank Open. 2002: Finished T76 at the Verizon Byron Nelson Classic on the PGA TOUR. Played on Hooters and Tight Lies Tours and was named Hooters Tour Player of the Year. Two-time winner that season and edged out PGA TOUR player Zach Johnson by less than $2,200 for the money title. |

| Personal | |
| Lists Pebble Beach as his favorite golf course. Would most like to play Pine Valley and Augusta National. First car was a 1968 Mustang. Would round out his dream foursome with his dad, uncle and brother. Wife, JaNette, swam competitively for the University of Texas. | |
