Shot a final-round 68 to finish T2 at the Pacific Rubiales Colombia Championship, matching his career-best finish. Earned his first career win, at the Soboba Golf Classic, avenging his playoff loss from the fall of 2011. Fired an even-par 71 to wind up at 8-under par and two strokes in front of Andrew Svoboda, capping the first wire-to-wire win on Tour since Colt Knost won the 2008 Price Cutter Charity Championship. Led by two shots heading into the final round. Was tied for the lead when Svoboda eagled the par-5 sixth hole but regained sole possession a short time later with a birdie at No. 8. Leading by four at the turn, he stumbled with back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 15 and 16 to cut his lead to two strokes. Closed with a pair of pars to earn the win and collect the first-place check for $135,000, which moved him to No. 1 on the money list after five tournaments. |
