2015 Season

PGA TOUR season included six made cuts in 10 starts, finishing the year No. 190 in the FedExCup standings. Finished outside the top 125 on FedExCup points and failed to play the requisite 15 events.

• PGA Championship: T18 at the PGA Championship was one of two best showings. Week at Whistling Straits for the final major championship got off to a rocky start with an opening-round 76, but he rebounded with rounds of 70-67-67 to finish inside the top 20, snapping a streak of three missed cuts in the season's first three major championships.
• Shell Houston Open: One of two best showings was T17 at the Shell Houston Open.
• Turkish Airlines Open: Captured second career European Tour title in late-October at the Turkish Airlines Open, his second win in three years at the event. After opening with rounds of 69-64-67, birdied three of his final four holes to shoot 66 and win the first event of The Final Series, edging Jaco Van Zyl by one stroke. Moved to seventh in the Race to Dubai with the victory.
• ABU Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship: In mid-January, jumped into contention at the European Tour's Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship with a third-round, 8-under 64. Followed that with a Sunday 67 to finish at 16-under and T4 with Thomas Pieters, three shots behind winner Gary Stal.
• Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open: Had four par-or-better rounds at the European Tour's Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open to T10 with six others at Gullane GC.
• Nedbank Golf Challenge: T4 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge marked his only top-10 finish on the European Tour.

2014 Season

Made nine of 10 PGA TOUR cuts, with three top-10s as a non-member. Earned enough non-member FedExCup points during the season to achieve Special Temporary Membership. Parlayed that into a top-125 finish on the non-member FedExCup points list to earn his 2014-15 TOUR card. Finished fifth on the 2013-14 Race to Dubai final standings.

• Ryder Cup: Earned 2.5 points on a 2-0-1 record in his three matches at the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland. Helped lead the Europeans to a five-point victory over the U.S. in the biennial event.
• PGA Championship: Recorded a final-round, 5-under 66 to finish T7 at the PGA Championship, his second consecutive top-10 finish in a major (T9 at Open Championship).
• The Open Championship: Overcame a 2-over 74 in the first round at The Open Championship with a 6-under 66 the next day en route to a T9 with Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell. Birdied the par-5 18th all four rounds at Royal Liverpool GC.
• World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship: Captured the attention of the golf world in February at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, where he took Jason Day to 23 holes in the championship match before settling for runner-up honors. En route to reaching the finals, the Frenchman outdueled Kevin Streelman in the first round (5 and 4), Peter Hanson in the second round (3 and 1), Bubba Watson in the third round (1-up), Graeme McDowell in the quarterfinals (1-up) and Ernie Els in the semifinals (1-up). Two-down with two to play in regulation in the championship match, he finished birdie-par to send the match to extra holes. On the first two extra holes, Nos. 1 and 9, he made miraculous recovery shots from cactus areas to save par and keep himself alive. A par for Day on the fifth extra hole, No. 15, finally ended the match with darkness approaching. The runner-up finish earned him 315 non-member FedExCup points, enough to become a Special Temporary Member for the remainder of the 2013-14 PGA TOUR season should he choose.
• DP World Tour Championship: Shot a final-round 68 at European Tour's DP World Tour Championship in Dubai in late-November 2014 to T2 with Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, two shots behind winner Henrik Stenson.
• IPS Handa Perth International: Traveled to Australia to play in the European Tour-PGA Tour of Australasia co-sanctioned Perth International. Had a strong final day, shooting 6-under 66 at Lake Karrinyup GC to move up the leaderboard into second place, three shots behind winner Thorbjorn Olesen.

• Nordea Masters: His four rounds in the 60s at the Nordea Masters (69-69-67-67) were enough to get him into a playoff with Thongchai Jaidee and Stephen Gallacher in Malmo, Sweden, in early June. On the first extra hole, he made par along with Gallacher then watched as Jaidee won the event on PGA Sweden National's par-5 18th hole, with a birdie.
• Volvo Golf Champions: Had a nice showing at the Volvo Golf Champions in mid-January. Opened with three consecutive 69s and was in position to win until he could only muster a final-round, even-par 72 at Durban CC in Durban, South Africa. Eventually finished T5 with two others.

2013 Season

• World Cup of Golf: Played in his first World Cup, with teammate Gregory Bourdy. Finished a disappointing T30 in the individual competition at Royal Melbourne GC but paired with Bourdy to T7 representing France in the team portion of the event.
• Omega European Masters: In early September, fashioned four sub-70 rounds (68-65-66-66) to finish at 19-under, a stroke out of the Thomas Bjorn-Craig Lee playoff at the Omega European Masters in Switzerland.
• Volvo China Open: Finished third at the Volvo China Open, improving on his T4 showing in 2012. Weekend rounds of 66-68 put him in the hunt, finishing five shots behind Brett Rumford at Binhai Lake GC in Tianjin.

Shot an 8-under 64 at Jumeirah Golf Estates a day after firing a 66. Couldn't maintain that momentum, and could only fire a 1-under 71 that dropped him to third place, eight strokes behind Stenson's winning score.
• Turkish Airlines Open: Took a five-shot lead into the final round of the Turkish Airlines Open in November, shot a final-round 69 at The Montgomerie Maxx Royal and defeated Jamie Donaldson by two shots. The victory was his first on the European Tour. Made nine consecutive pars to begin his final round then birdied his 10th hole. A bogey at No. 14 allowed his pursuers a sliver of hope, but he ended all doubt who would win by making birdie on three of his final four holes, including back-to-back birdies on Nos. 17 and 18.

2012 Season

Had another solid season, with three top-five performances.

• Alfred Dunhill Links Championship: Final top-10 was a T5 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St. Anderews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.

• Ballentine's Championship: He contended again, improving to a T3, at the Ballantine's Championship in South Korea. A second-round 75 was his undoing at Blackstone GC in Seoul. Recovered with weekend rounds of 68-66 but was still a distant seven shots behind winner Bernd Wiesberger.
• Volvo China Open: At the Volvo China Open, he enjoyed rounds of 69-68-68-67 to T4.

Was 2-under making the turn Sunday but bogeys at Nos. 10 and Nos. 17 derailed any chances he had of winning. Finished T5, four shots out of the Kenneth Ferrie-Simon Wakefield playoff.
• Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles: Waited until August to add another top-10, this time a T8 at the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. Made a surge up the leaderboard with a final-round 67.
