Came back from a three-stroke deficit to Bryce Molder after 54 holes to defeat Molder and three others by one shot. Playing just 50 miles from his home in The Woodlands, TX, posted the best final round in Nationwide Tour Championship history with a 6-under 66 to storm back from six shots down to defeat third-round leader Matt Kuchar and Andrew Buckle by one shot. Sealed the win with chip-ins for par on No. 17 and for birdie on the final hole. The six-shot comeback was the largest in Nationwide Tour Championship history.
