Career Highlights
2022 Season
Played in all 10 PGA TOUR Canada tournaments, making the cut in half of those starts and posting two titles—his only two top-10s of the year. Qualified for the season-ending Fortinet Cup Championship and finished the season No. 3 on the Fortinet Cup standings.

GolfBC Championship: Calmly rolled in a four-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to break a tie and defeat Scott Stevens by a stroke at Gallagher’s Canyon GC in early September. The victory, his second of the season, moved him from No. 11 to No. 3 in the Fortinet Cup standings in advance of the season-ending event. A second-round 61 jumped him into contention and then played his final 20 holes bogey-free, including a third-round 69, making seven birdies on the final day on his way to a 64. With his four rounds in the 60s, extended his under-par streak to nine in a row and rounds in the 60s to eight consecutively.
-
Sotheby's International Realty Canada Ontario Open: Made a late eagle in Saturday’s third round to take a three-shot advantage into Sunday at Woodington Lake GC in late-July. After his 64-68-68 start, posted a final-day, 4-under 67 to coast to a seven-shot victory over a trio of players in Tottenham, Ontario. His win was the largest margin of victory since Taylor Pendrith won by eight strokes in 2019.
