 Career Highlights
Made the cut in 11 of 13 starts during his rookie season on the 2007 Nationwide Tour. Finished the season No. 113 on the money list, with $46,926. Qualified for a spot in the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational when he earned first-team All-American honors at BYU. Made good on
the invitation by winning the event by two strokes over Chris Nallen and Chad Collins, becoming the first amateur to win a Nationwide Tour title. He couldn't accept the $126,000 first prize but did earn a full exemption for the remainder of the season and all of 2008. Three days later, he made the decision to forego his senior season at BYU and turned professional. Went on to post four additional top-25 finishes, including a T10 at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic.
