Made 23 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour and had six top-10 finishes, including a win in the final full-field event of the year, the inaugural Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open. The victory secured his spot among the top-25 money winners and earned him a return trip to the PGA TOUR in 2011. Finished No. 13, thanks to his late-season efforts.

• Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open Presented by Planters: Fired a final-round 69 at TPC Sawgrass to erase a three-stroke deficit and win by one over three others. Had built a three-shot lead early on the back nine before stumbling with a bogey at No. 14 and a double-bogey at No. 16, opening the door for several challengers. Made par on the demanding 17th and 18th holes to finish at 8-under, the only single-digit winning score on Tour in 2010. The victory was the second of his Korn Ferry Tour career.

• BMW Charity Pro-Am: Earned his first career win at the BMW Charity Pro-Am where he nearly went wire to wire. Posted rounds of 65-65 to grab the second-round lead. Third-round 68 put him at 17-under and one shot ahead. Three birdies in the first five holes of Sunday's final round gave him the cushion he needed. He was never challenged the rest of the way and won by three strokes over Roger Tambellini. First-place check of $121,500 jumped him from No. 44 to No. 4 on the money list at the time. Also collected the keys to a BMW X5 for the win.
