2016 Season
-
Kansai Open Golf Championship: Had a big breakthrough in mid-May when he shot scores of 69 in the first and third rounds and 70s in the other two rounds to edge Tomohiro Kondo and Scott Strange by a stroke. The victory gave him wins in successive seasons, including his Korean Challenge Tour title a year earlier.
2015 Season
Finished 19th on the final Order of Merit, with four top-10s, all coming consecutively during the middle of the season. Also played on the Korean Challenge Tour. In the Korean Challenge Tour's 8th Tournament, opened with a 1-over 73 then recovered with a 67 on the second day in the 36-hole tournament to post a T9. Two weeks later, again on the Korean Challenge Tour, won that circuit's 9th Tournament, a one-shot win over Pankyu Hong in the 36-hole event at Taekwang CC. Shot rounds of 64-68.
-
Lushan Open: Fired a final-round, 1-over 71 to T9 at the Lushan Open in mid-October.
-
Chongqing Open: Had four par-or-better rounds at the Chongqing Jiangnan NewTown KingRun Open in mid-October, good enough for a 6-under total and a seventh-place performance at KingRun Nanshan GC.
-
Cadillac Championship: Also in Beijing, was the 54-hole leader at the Cadillac Championship at Topwin G&CC. Opened 67-69-66 to take a two-shot lead over Bryden Macpherson with 18 holes to play. Stumbled on the final day, making his final birdie on No. 8 Sunday. Played the back nine at Topwin in 2-over as Macpherson pulled away for the three-shot victory. The solo-second finish was a career best and improved him to 10th on the Order of Merit at the time.
-
Lanhai Open: After missing the first two cuts of the season and only T67 at the Lanhai Open, broke through with a solid T8 at the Ping An Bank Open. Was one of only three players in the field to record four under-par rounds (71-70-71-70) on his way to a T8 with four others at Qinghe Bay GC in Beijing.
-
China QT #2-CTS Tycoon Shenzhen: Shot consistent rounds of 71-71-73-73 to finish at 1-over at the PGA TOUR China Series' Second Global Qualifying Tournament in early February. Ended in fifth place to earn full playing privileges for the season.
