Season Recap
2018-2019 Season
Played in 13 PGA TOUR Series-China events during his second season on that circuit. Recorded two top-10s among his six made cuts. Closed the year 48th on the Order of Merit to retain his 2020 playing privileges.
Sanya Championship
After opening rounds of 69-71, found his rhythm in what turned out to be the final round, firing an 8-under 64, which was enough to secure a T9 for his second career PGA TOUR Series-China top-10. The next morning was one of the first on the scene, performing CPR on Arie Irawan after Irawan was found unresponsive in his hotel room.
Macau Championship
Managed to retain his 2020 playing privileges by finishing T5 at the season-ending event in Macau. After opening with rounds of 65-71, closed with back-to-back 66s for a 16-under total. That was was enough to narrowly put him inside the top 50 on the Order of Merit.
