2011: In 12 PGA TOUR starts, collected one top-25 finish, a T22 at the Puerto Rico Open, won by Michael Bradley. In his only Nationwide Tour start, finished T12 at the Utah Championship. 2010: Made the cut in 15 of 20 Nationwide Tour starts and earned his second career title in the process. Had one other top-10 finish which helped him earn his PGA TOUR card for 2011 by finishing No. 23 on the final money list. In four full seasons on the Nationwide Tour, had previously never finished below No. 48 on the official money list. Picked up his second career title with a one-stroke win over Keegan Bradley at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic. Began the final round eight shots back of leader Kevin Chappell but charged to the front with a 10-under 61, which included a 7-under 29 on his closing nine holes. Birdied his last three holes to post a 24-under total, which held up through the final groups. Both of his wins have come in Canada and both times he posted 61s in the process. Victory was worth $144,017 and vaulted him from No. 97 to No. 9 on the money list. Opened with a 10-under 62 the following week at the Chiquita Classic to take the first-day lead. Went on to finish 21-under for the week and T5. Was steady during the year and was No. 13 on the money list when he suffered a broken bone in his foot in a pick-up basketball game prior to the start of the Chattanooga Classic. Was forced to miss the next three events but returned to compete in the season-endning Nationwide Tour Championship wearing a sandal on his right foot. Played all 72 holes with the assistance of a walking cane and collected official money for the week, helping him maintain his spot among the top 25 and lock up a return trip to the PGA TOUR. 2009: Played rookie season on the PGA TOUR, finishing No. 201 on the money list. Managed just five made cuts in 25 starts, with a T16 at the RBC Canadian Open his best finish. Made three starts on the Nationwide Tour. Posted four rounds in the 60s for a 10-under score to finish T5 at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic. 2008: Was T7 at the Mexico Open in Morelia. Finished fifth at the BMW Charity Pro-Am. After three rounds of 69, a final-round 63 earned him a T3 finish and a $46,405 check at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic. Added another T3 finish at the Nationwide Tour Players Cup. Was T6 at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational after holding the 36-hole lead. Made Nationwide Tour history at the Utah Championship, where he became the first of four players to record a hole-in-one during the first round (Chris Stroud, Brian Stuard and Jonathan Fricke). The ace was his second of the season, with his first coming at the Melwood Prince George's County Open. Added a solo fourth the following week at the Albertsons Boise Open and earned enough money to solidify his spot on the money list at No. 13. Besides his two holes-in-one, he became the first player to make a double eagle on Tour in 2008 when he holed his 239-yard second shot at par-5 18th during the second round of the Chattanooga Classic. Finished fifth at the season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship at TPC Craig Ranch, helped by a third round, 8-under 63, jumping from 16th to 11th on the money list. 2007: Made the cut in 20 of 27 starts on the Nationwide Tour, including seven top-25 finishes. Finished the season No. 48 on the money list, with $133,806. Cracked the top 10 three times, including a season-best T5 finish at the BMW Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs, a T6 at the Oregon Classic and a T7 at the Albertsons Boise Open. 2006: Made the cut in 19 of 29 starts on the Nationwide Tour, with three top-10 finishes. Was No. 47 on the money list by season's end, with $124,293. Posted four sub-par rounds at the Athens Regional Foundation Classic to notch his first top-10 of the season, placing T5. Posted a 4-under-par 284 at the Henrico County Open to finish T10 after holding a two-stroke lead through the first 18 holes. A T8 at the Cox Classic rounded out his top-10s. 2005: Made the cut in eight of nine starts during his rookie year on the Nationwide Tour, with two top-10 finishes. Despite limited starts, concluded the season No. 35 on the money list, with $140,896. In just his second career start and his first of the season, was T13 at the Scholarship America Showdown. After a T59 at the Canadian PGA Championship, notched his first career victory, at the Alberta Classic, with a 9-under-par 275 finish. Set the victory up with a course-record 10-under 61 in the second round, including an 8-under 28 on the front nine (equaling the best nine-hole score of the season). Collected a career-best $81,000 with the victory. Entered the Alberta Classic having risen all the way to No. 3 on the Canadian Tour Order of Merit, thanks to six top-10 finishes and five straight top-five finishes heading into the tournament. Final top-10 of the year came at the season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship. Finished five strokes behind champion David Branshaw but collected $31,200 for his solo-fourth place finish to move 10 spots up the money list to No. 35. 2005: Made the cut in both PGA TOUR starts that season, with a T24 at the Bell Canadian Open his best finish.

Favorite movie is "Talladega Nights" and is a big fan of Will Ferrell. |
