Career Highlights

2017 Season

Made just two cuts in 27 starts on the PGA TOUR to finish outside the top 200 in the FedExCup standings, at No. 234. Will compete on TOUR in the 2017-18 season out of the Past Champion category.

2016 Season

Claimed a pair of top-25 finishes in 26 starts, highlighted by a top-10 showing at the Tournament of Champions. Ended his season after the Wyndham Championship at No. 179 in the FedExCup standings.

• Hyundai Tournament of Champions: Finished T10 at Kapalua for his lone top-10 of the 2015-16 season. It was his second consecutive appearance at the winners-only event, and his best finish (T22-2015).

2015 Season

Banner year culminated in his selection as a captain's pick for the International squad at The Presidents Cup. On the strength of his second TOUR title and seven other top-25 finishes through the Wyndham Championship, advanced to the FedExCup Playoffs for a fourth time. Finished the season ranked 20th in the FedExCup standings

• Presidents Cup: Went 1-2-0 in his three Presidents Cup matches in the International team's 15½-14½ loss in South Korea.
• TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola: Made it all the way through the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola (T12) for the first time.
• AT&T Byron Nelson: Jumped out to the opening-round lead at the AT&T Byron Nelson with an 8-under 62 en route to his second PGA TOUR victory (2014 Valero Texas Open). With a tournament-record, 18-under 259 total, finished four strokes ahead of Charley Hoffman, Jimmy Walker and Scott Pinckney. Held at least a share of the lead after each round en route to becoming the ninth international winner at the Byron Nelson since 2000. Became just the seventh player (eight times) to carry the opening-round lead on to victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson. The Australian native, and current Flower Mound, Texas, resident, won at the TPC Four Seasons Resort, site of his 2011 wedding to Amanda Yarussi, a former television producer in Dallas. Victory came in his 146th start at age 31 years, 11 months, 23 days. The win came in his fifth start at the AT&T Byron Nelson, snapping a streak of three missed cuts at the event. Won for the second time in as many attempts when carrying the lead into the final round on the PGA TOUR (2014 Valero Texas Open). Became the 15th (out of the last 21) champion of the AT&T Byron Nelson to record all four rounds in the 60's.
• Valero Texas Open: In his 13th start of the season, took the second-round lead of the Valero Texas Open and never looked back. Despite a 4-over 76 in the final round, claimed a one-stroke victory over Will MacKenzie and Daniel Summerhays. Through 54 holes, was the only player in the field to manage three sub-70 rounds on the challenging TPC San Antonio's AT&T Oaks Course. The 76 was the highest final-round score by a winner since Vijay Singh posted the same number at the 2004 PGA Championship. With the win, he became the fourth consecutive Valero Texas Open champion to earn a win-and-you're-in invitation to the Masters Tournament two weeks later. The win also made him the third Australian to win on the PGA TOUR this season, joining Jason Day (World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship) and John Senden (Valspar Championship).
• Frys.com Open: Struggled out of the gate at the season-opening Frys.com Open with a 1-over 73 but bounced back in impressive fashion with rounds of 68-67-67 to record the second runner-up finish of his career (2013 Greenbrier Classic), finishing two strokes behind champion Sangmoon Bae. His final-round 67 was tied for low round of the day. The runner-up finish came in his fourth start at the event, one year after having to withdraw following the first round with a hip injury.

2014 Season

Played in 30 PGA TOUR events and finished 59th in the final FedExCup standings. Enjoyed a breakthrough when he captured his first TOUR title, at the Valero Texas Open. Advanced all the way to the BMW Championship before he was eliminated from the FedExCup Playoffs.

Opened with a 5-under 67 on the Magnolia Course, before finishing 132nd on the earnings list.

• Soboba Golf Classic: Earned his second career title at the Soboba Golf Classic in California in early October. Moved into the lead with an 8-under 63 in the third round. Birdied the 1st hole and eagled the 6th hole on Sunday to move into a comfortable lead and was never seriously challenged the rest of the day. Posted a 3-under 68 to finish at 19-under par, three better than Daniel Summerhays and five in front of Keegan Bradley and B.J. Staten. A first-place check for $180,000 moved him from No. 76 to No. 11 on the money list. Finished the week with only 96 putts, one shy of the all-time Tour mark of 95 set by Grant Waite at the 2003 Miccosukee Championship. Dating back to the end of the 2005 season, had earned only $173,970 in his previous 76 starts on Tour.
• WNB Golf Classic: Notched his sixth top-10 finish six starts later, at the WNB Golf Classic. Had missed four cuts in a row heading into Midland. A final-round 66 moved him from T23 to T8.
• Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open: Began the final round of the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open in second place, a stroke behind Roberto Castro. An up-and-down round left him one stroke behind clubhouse leader Jhonattan Vegas as he stepped to the 18th tee Sunday. Needing a birdie to force a playoff, he hit his tee shot out of bounds. Ended up making a double bogey but still finished T4–his best Tour performance since a T2 at the 2005 Price Cutter Charity Championship.
