2011: The PGA TOUR rookie made eight cuts in 24 TOUR starts, with his best finish a T31 at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, thanks to four rounds at par or better. Also made three Nationwide Tour starts. 2010: Finished his rookie season No. 27 on the money list, making the cut in 16 of 28 starts. Had eight top-25 finishes and chalked up his first career win in the process. Fired a final-round 66 at Midland Country Club to win by two strokes over a trio of contenders at the WNB Golf Classic. Began the final round two shots back of leader Darron Stiles (71) but kick-started his day with a birdie on the first hole. Moved into the lead when veteran Brandt Jobe bogeyed the final hole to finish at 16-under par. Needing only par to win, rolled in a 35-foot birdie putt to reach 18-under and make the final margin two shots. First-place check of $94,500 vaulted him from No. 78 on the money list to No. 25.

In May, fired a 9-under 61 to take the opening-round lead by three strokes at the Fort Smith Classic. Held the second-round lead by one and was only one shot off the pace entering the final day at Hardscrabble CC but shot a 1-over 71 and wound up T16.

First top-10 came the next week, with a T9 at the Mexico Open Bicentenary, where his 7-under 65 Saturday moved him into contention after making the 36-hole cut on the number (2-over).

Continued his solid play after his Midland win by finishing T5 in his next start, the Soboba Classic. Eagled the par-5 18th hole on Sunday to jump from T16 to T5. Recorded four rounds in the 60's to pick up his third top-10.
