Career Highlights

2022 Season

Appeared in nine PGA TOUR Canada tournaments, getting to the weekend three times. Finished the season No. 83 on the Fortinet Cup standings.

• Royal Beach Victoria Open presented by Times Colonist: Got off to a fast start in the PGA TOUR Canada season-opener in Victoria, British Columbia, in early June. Fired a 7-under 63 then came back with three consecutive 69s to T10 with Chris Crisologo and Ian Holt.

2021 Season

Won on the Mackenzie Tour and picked up one additional top-10 to end the year fifth on the Points List, good for 2022 PGA TOUR Canada.

• Brudenell River Classic (MT): At the 54-hole event at Brudenell River GC on Prince Edward Island in early September, finished at 8-under to T10 with seven others.
• Prince Edward Island Open (MT): Opened 69-66 at Dundarave GC on Prince Edward Island Open in late-August. Closed 73-71 to finish regulation tied with Maxwell Sear at 9-under. In the playoff, on the par-5 18th, he missed the green with his second-shot approach but chipped to six feet and made his birdie putt. Locked up the win when Sear missed his birdie effort from a similar length.
• GolfBC Championship (MT): A disappointing, 3-over 74 in the third round took him out of contention at Gallagher’s Canyon GC. Shot up the leaderboard on the final day, with a best-score-of-the-round-tying 66 that left him T7 with five others.
