• Played two seasons at Clemson University (2016-18), where he earned two individual victories, garnered a 2017 All-America Third Team selection, and broke the school record for career scoring average (70.70) previously established by two-time PGA TOUR winner D.J. Trahan (71.49 from 1999-2003)
• Won the 2017 U.S. Amateur, defeating Doug Ghim in a playoff in the championship match at The Riviera Country Club
