Best finish was T53 at the HP Byron Nelson Championship and Waste Management Open. 2009: Made 10 cuts in 25 starts, including three top-25 finishes, two of those coming in his first three events of the season, a T24 at the Mercedes-Benz Championship in his native Hawaii and a season-best T17 at the FBR Open.

At age 29 years, 2 months and 25 days, posted his first career victory at the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open, thanks in large part to a career-best, course-record-tying 10-under 62 in the second round. Held a four-stroke lead at the midway point, a six-shot advantage after 54 holes and, despite a 2-over 74 on the final day, finished with a seven-stroke win (second largest of the season) over Brian Davis and John Rollins.
