• The Open Championship: Qualified for his first major championship, playing in The Open Championship, where he missed the cut.

• Indonesian President Invitational: Won his first title, the Indonesia President Invitational. Went low all week at Damai Indah GC's BSD Course, including a third-round 62 that was enough to give him a two-shot triumph over Adam Blyth.

2008 Season

• SAIL Open: Was T5 at the Sail Open.

2007 Season

• Indonesian President Invitational: Made his presence felt during his first full Asian Tour season when he was runner-up at the Pertamina Indonesia President Invitational. Shot a second-round 64 and appeared poised to win until Philippines' Juvic Pagunsan birdied the 71st hole and eagled the 72nd to win by a stroke.
