CURRENT YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

• 66 JHSF Aberto do Brasil: Played steady golf all week at Fazenda Boa Vista, opening with a first-round 63. Added four more rounds in the 60s only to fall a couple strokes short of eventual winner Shad Tuten. This was the first time all season he’s had four-under-par rounds at a tournament.
• CoBank Colorado Open: Finished at 15-under at Green Valley Ranch in Denver, good for a T9 with fellow PGA TOUR Latinoamerica player Jose Toledo.
• Bupa Match Play: Coming off four consecutive missed cuts, arrived in Playa Del Carmen not looking like the eventual champion in the Tour’s lone match-play event. Beginning Thursday, won six consecutive matches, including a 1-up defeat of Brazil’s Rodrigo Lee in Sunday’s final to win his first PGA TOUR Latinoamerica and first professional title. Defeated Santiago Gomez, Shad Tuten, Edward Figueroa and Leandro Marelli. In the semifinals, trailed Tommy Cocha with one hole to play but made par to Cocha’s birdie then made a 13-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to secure the win. In the final, went 4-up with six holes to play and hung on, holding a 1-up lead with one hole to play, the duo halving that final hole. The victory was worth $30,000.
• PTLA Qualifying Tournament-Brazil: Earned fully-exempt status for the entire season with his stellar performance at the Olympic GC in Rio de Janeiro. Had a share of the 36-hole lead but fell three strokes behind Sulman Raza with 18 holes remaining. Fired a final-round 69 to capture medalist honors and earn full status for the entire season.
