2011: Started the season on a Major Medical Extension, with 19 events to equal No. 125 from the 2010 PGA TOUR money list ($786,977). Collected six top-25 finishes, of which two were top-10s. Both top-10 finishes came in his last six starts of the season. In his only Nationwide Tour start, finished T6 at the Albertsons Boise Open. Earned first career PGA TOUR top 10 in the 20th start of his rookie campaign—a T10 at the Reno-Tahoe Open. Tied his career-low round of 65 in the final round of the Frys.com Open in the Fall Series to claim T7 honors. Topped that score in the opening two rounds of the McGladrey Classic, with matching 6-under 64s, leading to a two-stroke lead at the halfway point of the TOUR's third Fall Series event. Entered the final round one stroke behind Michael Thompson but struggled to a 5-over 75 to finish T20. It was his fifth top-25 performance in his last eight TOUR starts. 2010: Rookie season on PGA TOUR was cut short in late February by a tendon injury to his left wrist that required surgery. Wrist started bothering him in late 2009. Made four starts, with no made cuts. Earned a Major Medical Extension for 2011, with 19 events to equal No. 125 from the 2010 PGA TOUR money list ($786,977). Improved his status with a T27 finish at the 2010 PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament. 2009: Earned rookie status on the PGA TOUR after successfully advancing through the 2009 Q-School at Bear Lakes CC. Prior to rookie season, had missed the cut in all three career starts on the PGA TOUR, as an amateur at the 2006 U.S. Open and professional starts at the 2009 St. Jude Classic and the AT&T National. Only made cut in five career starts on the Nationwide Tour was a T9 at the 2009 Cox Classic. Has played four events on the eGolf Tour, winning the 2009 Columbia Championship.
