Career Highlights

2019 Season

• Dongguan Open: Recorded his second solo runner-up finish of the season at the weather-shortened tournament in Dongguan. Carded rounds of 67-66 to lie at 7-under, three shots behind American Joey Lane when officials canceled play for due to inclement weather and declared Lane the champion.
• Haikou Championship: Lost in a playoff in the season’s third event in Haikou to record his third career runner-up on the PGA TOUR Series-China. Shot four consecutive birdies, from hole 12-15, on the back nine of his final round to finish with a 6-under 66 and force a playoff with America’s David Kocher. Got unlucky in the playoff, losing his ball in the bushes after it hit the cart path. Ended up making a double bogey, while Kocher made birdie. Before the playoff, had the chance to overtake Kocher on the final hole when he hit the flagstick with his approach shot on hole 18 but missed the subsequent 15-foot birdie putt.
• Sanya Championship: Shot a first-round 68 and a third-round 69, saving his best for the second round where he carded an 8-under 64. Finished the 54-hole event T5 with Christopher Hickman and Daejin Jeong.
