Career Highlights

2018 Season

Solid season led to a 13th-place finish on the PGA TOUR Latinoamerica Order of Merit. Posted six top-10s in 15 starts. Had three top-10s in succession, capped by his playoff loss in Costa Rica.

• ATB Financial Classic: After picking up six top-10s on PGA TOUR Latinoamerica, transitioned his solid play to Canada firing 63-65 the first two days of the tournament. Despite a lackluster weekend, still managed to T10.
• Bupa Match Play: Finished 1-1 in his two matches at Playa Paraiso GC. As the seventh seed, defeated Chris Tuten, 3 and 2, in the first round then dropped a 1-down decision to Australia's Harrison Endycott on the second day.
• Quito Open presentado por Diners Club: Added his sixth top-10 of the year, a T4, with weekend rounds of 69-68 getting him to 5-under, three shots behind winner Horacio León.
• Quito Open presentado por Diners Club: Rode the momentum of an ace on No. 16 in the final round with successive birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 to secure a T4. His finish helped offset a stretch early on the back nine, where he was 3-over on his first five holes.
• Puerto Plata DR Open: Finished T7 at Cinnamon Hill GC in Montego Bay. Only a third-round 72 held him back from truly contending, rounds of 67-69 and a final-round 66 helping him secure the top-10.
• Costa Rica Classic: Finished regulation tied with Eric Steger and Tyson Alexander after sharing the 36- and 54-hole leads. Held a three-stroke lead with seven holes to play but carded a double bogey on No. 12 at Reserva Conchal GC. Watched as Alexander won the extra session, making eagle on the second playoff hole.
• BMW Jamaica Classic: Posted another top-10 at a weather-shortened tournament. Opened with a 64 then added scores of 67-71 to T9 for the second time in the campaign.
