Children's Miracle Network Classic. Returned to the TOUR for the first time since 2002 after finishing 22nd on the 2006 Nationwide Tour money list. Four top-10s that year included a first, second and a third. His T3 came at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic, followed by a runner-up showing at the Utah EnergySolutions Championship. Posted final-round, 3-over 75 for one-stroke loss to Craig Kanada after sharing the first-round lead and the 36- and 54-hole leads outright. In the final full-field event of the season, the Miccosukee Championship, captured first career victory, one ahead of Boo Weekley. Did not post a top-10 on the Nationwide Tour in 2003 and 2005 but had five in 2004, when he finished 50th on the money list. Began 2004 with no status on Tour, but took advantage of his opportunities to play by notching four consecutive top-10 finishes in June to gain Special Temporary Member status for the remainder of 2004. Made the cut in 10 of 22 TOUR events in 2002, with four top-25 finishes. T9 at the Compaq Classic of New Orleans in early May for his first top 10 of the season. Strong track record at English Turn G&CC, having captured an American Junior Golf Association event there in 1996 with a field that included David Gossett, Bubba Watson, Charles Howell III and Matt Kuchar. Joined the TOUR as a Special Temporary Member during the 2002 season after earning enough money to qualify but did not make enough to earn his TOUR card for the following season. Finished second in his first career Nationwide Tour start at the 2002 Jacob's Creek Open Championship. Four-time, first-team All-America at Georgia Tech, joining former Yellow Jacket David Duval, Phil Mickelson and Gary Hallberg as the only four to be so honored. Winner of Fred Haskins Award and named Dave Williams National Player of the Year following senior year in 2001. Named Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year in 1998 and 2001. Three-time ACC Player of the Year (1999-2001) and ACC Rookie of the Year (1998). Represented United States at the Walker Cup (1999 and 2001) and Palmer Cup (1998-1999-2001). Two-time Academic All-America (2000-01). Born with no left pectoral muscle (which makes that side of his chest concave), and also has Poland Syndrome, a fairly rare defect that made his left hand much smaller than his right. Underwent two surgeries before he was age 5 because three fingers on his left hand were webbed together up to the knuckle. Shot a 12-under-par 60 at Chenal CC in Little Rock while playing with fellow Arkansas native and then-U.S. President Bill Clinton in August 1999.
