2011: Made the cut in 11 of 23 starts on Tour. First top-10 was a T3 at the Chiquita Classic, where he finished 20-under par
for the week.
Thirteen starts later he added another top-10 when he finished sixth at the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open. His second-round
64 tied for low round of the week at Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass and gave him a share of the 36-hole lead with eventual
champion Gavin Coles. Jumped from No. 77 to 66 on the money list but missed qualifying for the Nationwide Tour Championship
by six places on the earnings chart. 2010: Made the cut in 13 of 28 starts on the PGA TOUR and ended the season No. 154 on
the money list. Started his rookie season with a T25 finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Tied for second at the Mayakoba Golf
Classic and later added a T15 at The McGladrey Classic. Also made three starts on the Nationwide Tour, finishing T5 at the
Knoxville News Sentinel Open. 2009: Finished the Nationwide Tour campaign No. 26 on the money list after being bumped at the
season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship from what looked to be a PGA TOUR card. Entered the week at No. 23 on the money
list but dropped three places despite a T14 finish, his 11th top-25 of the year. Stumbled with a 76 in the opening round at
Daniel Island, SC, but rallied with rounds of 67-69-68 to wind up $2,844 behind No. 25 Fran Quinn. Ended the year No. 5 in
Total Birdies.
Collected his first career top-10 with a T8 at the Knoxville Open where he was one of only three players to post all four
rounds in the 60s.
Added a T3 at the Soboba Classic where he shared the 54-hole lead. Struggled on the windy final day at The CC at Soboba Springs
and did not make a birdie until the final hole. Finished four shots back of winner Jerod Turner but earned enough money to
propel him from No. 48 to 23 on the money list with three events remaining. Skipped the Chattanooga Classic the following
week but added a T17 at the Miccosukee Championshp to hold his place on the money list. 2008: Made the cut in half of his
14 starts on the Nationwide Tour, with a pair of top-25 finishes. Was T24 at the Xerox Classic and followed it up the next
week with a T17 at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic. Became part of Nationwide Tour history when he was one of a record
four players (Peter Tomasulo, Chris Stroud and Jonathan Fricke) to record a hole-in-one during the opening round of the Utah
Championship. His was the third ace when he holed a 7-iron at the seventh hole. Played on the Hooters Tour from 2006-07, with
his career highlighted by a win at the 2007 Hooters Winter Series Tour Championship.
