Career Highlights

2017 Season

Only made three international starts, all on the PGA Tour of Australasia. Missed the cut in all three.

2016 Season

Finished 14th on the Order of Merit despite skipping the final four events. Had one other top-10 to go with his breakthrough first victory. Earned ¥285,666.

• Lanhai Open: Broke through in a big way at the Lanhai Open, shooting a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead into the final round at Lanhai International GC. When heavy rain hit the Shanghai area Sunday, officials canceled the final round, giving him the one-shot victory over Zecheng Dou and Jarin Todd at what turned out to be a 54-hole event–the first in PGA TOUR China Series' history. Used a 5-under 67 in the second round, including a back-nine 31, that moved him into contention and gave him that elusive first title after a third-place finish and a runner-up showing in 2015.

2015 Season

Finished his first campaign No. 7 on the final Order of Merit, with four top-10s, including a runner-up finish and a third-place showing.

• Capital Airline HNA Real Estate Championship: Made a valiant run at victory in the season finale in Dongguan, the Capital Airlines – HNA Real Estate Championship. Opened the tournament 68-70 (4-under) and was tied for fifth through 36 holes, six shots behind leader Zeyu He. Fell even farther behind He through 54 holes after a 2-under 69 Saturday but then made a Sunday charge, with a five-birdie-in-six-hole stretch on his back nine. A late bogey on No. 16 derailed any hopes he had of winning, but he shot a 6-under 65 to finish at 12-under, two shots behind He's winning score. Moved to No. 7 on the Order of Merit and qualified for the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying Tournament the following week in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
• Chongqing Open: Finished T10 with six others at the Chongqing Jiangnan NewTown KingRun Open in mid-October, shooting an even-par 72 on the final day at Nanshan KingRun GC.
• Lushan Open: Parlayed four par-or-better rounds at the Lushan Open into a T4 with Yi Keun Chang. Final-round 68 at the par-70 Lushan International GC in Jiujiang left him three shots behind countryman Bryden Macpherson.
• United Investment Real Estate Wuhan Open: Began the final round of the United Investment Real Estate Wuhan Open a stroke behind 54-hole leader Justin Shin by a stroke. Never recovered from back-to-back bogeys on the third and fourth holes Sunday at Wuhan Yishan GC. Shot a final-round, even-par 72 to finish solo third, four shots behind Shin's winning score.
• Yulongwan Yunnan Open: Had a so-so start to the Yulongwan Yunnan Open in early October. Fashioned a 1-over 73 in the first round then was 14-under after that, with rounds of 68-67-67 to earn a T10 with Huilin Zhang at Yulongwan GC.
• New South Wales Open: Finished T2 with Matthew Millar, three shots behind winner, amateur Ben Eccles, at the New South Wales Open Championship in Sydney in mid-November. Opened 69-62 and was tied with Eccles for the 36-hole lead. Fell seven shots behind Eccles when the amateur fired a 66 to his 73. Recovered for the runner-up finish with a 4-under 68 Sunday.
• China QT #1-CTS Tycoon Shenzhen: Earned fully exempt PGA TOUR China status by finishing T15 at the First Global Qualifying Tournament in Shenzhen. Ended 72 holes tied with Blake McGrory and Brett Rankin but earned the final spot in a one-hole playoff.
• Isuzu QLD Open: Had a strong outing at the PGA Tour of Australasia's Isuzu Queensland Open in August. Made back-to-back eagles on Nos. 8 and 9 in his final round. Dropped in an 8-foot putt for his first eagle then had a one-bounce-into-the-hole eagle on No. 9. Finished regulation tied with David Brandson, and the duo matched pars on the first two playoff holes. Lost the tournament when he couldn't make birdie after Brandson made his birdie putt on the third extra hole (No. 18). Still improved 221 positions in the Official World Golf Ranking, to No. 631, his highest-career place.
