CURRENT YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

• Diners Club Peru Open presentado por Volvo: Turned in another solid performance, coming up just short at Los Inkas GC in mid-October. Opened 69-67-65 but was still four shots behind 54-hole leader Justin Suh. Got to 19-under through 14 holes Sunday, but three pars and a late bogey ended his chances of winning. Finished a stroke behind winner Leandro Marelli.
• Bupa Match Play: Went 2-1 in his two matches in the Tour’s only match-play tournament, defeating Evan Harmeling and Jorge Fernandez-Valdes before falling to Chase Hanna in the third round.
• 88 Abierto OSDE del Centro presentado por FiberCorp-Telecom: A week after winning for the first time, was back in contention, this time in Cordoba. Was one of only five players with four rounds at par or better at Cordoba GC on his way to a solo-sixth performance. Shot a third-round 65 and was only three shots behind leader Russell Budd with 18 holes to play. Shot a final-round 70 during a roller-coaster back nine, that included a birdie-bogey-birdie-bogey-birdie run that ostensibly ended his chances.
• Abierto de Chile 2019 presentado por VOLVO: Broke through at Club de Golf Mapocho to win for the first time on PGA TOUR Latinoamerica in only his third career start. Clinging to a one-shot lead with one hole to play Sunday, hit his second-shot approach into the par-5, the ball landing 45 feet from the cup. With playing partner Alex Weiss only a stroke behind and with a 10-foot eagle putt of his own, lined up the putt and calmly rolled in the eagle effort that led to a two-shot margin once Weiss missed his eagle putt. The final-round 65 was his second of the week (second round). Was one of eight players to post four rounds in the 60s. Was a sterling, cumulative 9-under on three par-5s—Nos. 1, 2 and 18, with seven birdies and an eagle over his four days.
• PTLA Qualifying Tournament-USA: Earned conditional PGA TOUR Latinoamerica status in January in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. Shot rounds of 70-70-71-74 to T12 with three others at Mission Inn.
