Career Highlights

2022 Season

Saw action in eight PGA TOUR Canada events, making the cut two times. Closed the year No. 70 on the Fortinet Cup standings.

• Quebec Open: Used four sub-par scores at Club de Golf Le Blainvillier's Heritage Course to T7 with Wil Bateman, Van Holmgren and Thomas Longbella.
• PGA TOUR Latinoamerica Qualifying Tournament Mexico: Began the final round at Estrella del Mar Resort in mid-November seven shots behind 54-hole leader Tim Widing. Went out on the final day and shot a 9-under, bogey-free 62 to defeat Denzel Iremia to win the tournament by two strokes, capturing medalist honnors and earning the right to play in every PGA TOUR Latinoamérica tournament. Made birdies on six of his first eight holes to turn in 29 then added three more, including one on the 18th hole, to give him his final victory margin.

2021 Season

Played in eight Forme Tour tournaments, making five cuts and securing one top-10. Closed the season 46th on the Points List.

• Rolling Green Championship: Opened with a 4-under 66 then reeled off three consecutive 69s at Rolling Green GC in early September to T8 with Byron Meth, Michael Feagles and Norman Xiong.
• Mackenzie Tour-PGA TOUR Canada Q-School-USA West 2: Held a two-shot lead stepping to the 18th tee of the final round at The Wigwam’s Gold Course in early April. Hit his ball into a canal that bordered the par-4, and that eventually led to a double bogey leading to a sudden-death playoff with fellow amateur Clay Feagler. On the first playoff hole, he knocked his second-shot on the par-5 into a greenside bunker and couldn’t get up and down for birdie. Feagler two-putted for birdie for the win. Still earned an exemption for the first half of the Mackenzie Tour season.
