Career Highlights

2022 Season

In 10 PGA TOUR Canada appearances, made seven cuts that included a victory and two other top-10s. Qualified for the season-ending Fortinet Cup Championship and finished eighth on the Fortinet Cup standings to earn 2023 conditional Korn Ferry Tour status.

• Sotheby's International Realty Canada Ontario Open: Followed his triumph a week earlier with a top-10, at Woodington Lake GC in Tottenham, Ontario. Shot weekend rounds of 69-67 to T5 with Ian Holt and Trent Phillips.
• Osprey Valley Open presented by Votorantim Cimentos CBM Aggregates: Shot four rounds in the 60s at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in late-July, including a second-round, 9-under 62 that led to a 16-under finish at the end of regulation, tied with Cooper Musselman. On the first extra hole, drained a five-foot birdie putt to defeat Musselman, capturing his second PGA TOUR Canada title, 1,407 days after his first, in 2018.
• ATB Classic presented by Volvo Edmonton: Was solid all week in Edmonton but couldn’t get going in the final round, shooting an even-par 71 to T7 with four others, five shots out of the Wil Bateman-Joe Highsmith-Jorge Villar playoff.
• PGA TOUR Canada Q-School USA West 1: Finished T8 with Joe Fryer and Zack Jaworski at The Wigwam in early April outside Phoenix. With only nine spots available for full status, the trio held a sudden-death playoff. Jaworski emerged after the fifth extra hole, and Fryer moved on after hole No. 6. Still earned conditional PGA TOUR Canada status.

• Wichita Open Supporting Wichita's Youth: Fired four rounds in the 60s to finish solo-sixth for the week in Wichita. The result was good for his first career top-10 on the Korn Ferry Tour.

2018 Season

Played in all 12 Mackenzie Tour events, making seven cuts, recording a win at the season-ending Freedom 55 Financial Championship and adding one other top-10 finish. Ended the year No. 7 on the Order of Merit, earning an exemption into the final stage of Korn Ferry Tour Q-School and Mackenzie Tour status for the 2019 season.

• Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament: Shot a 27-under 261, including a final-round 9-under 63 to earn medalist honors by one stroke and gain fully exempt status on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2019.
• Freedom 55 Financial Championship: Made only one bogey at the year's final event to pick up his first professional victory. Made five birdies on the front nine Sunday at Highland CC to take the outright lead before adding another on the back side to shoot 64 and win by two strokes. The victory moved him from No. 51 to No. 7 on the Order of Merit and into Korn Ferry Tour Q-School Finals.
