CURRENT YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

• The Championship at Echelon Golf Club (LOCALiQ Series): Held the 36-hole lead at Echelon GC in Alpharetta, Ga., and started quickly in the final round. Bogeys at his fourth and sixth holes knocked him back, and he played his final 12 holes in 1-over, including a bogey on the 18th hole where he needed a birdie to force a playoff with ultimate winner Bryson Nimmer. Settled for a T2 with Isaiah Salinda and Raul Pereda.
• Estrella del Mar Open: Had an up-and-down showing at the season-opening event, with a 62 and a 63 in the first and third rounds, respectively, and an even-par 72 in the second round. The 62 established a new 18-hole Estrella del Mar Golf and Beach record, later matched by tournament winner Alex Rocha in the final round. Beginning the day with a share of the lead, with Rocha and Rowin Caron, started birdie-eagle. But a 12-hole stretch from No. 3 to No. 14, where he made 11 pars and bogey, was ultimately his undoing as he finished alone in fifth, five shots behind Rocha. During his bogey-free third round, tied a PGA TOUR Latinoamerica record by making three eagles in one round (Nos. 2, 16 and 18).

2019 Season

Broke through and won for the first time, adding one additional top-10 during his 11 appearances. Finished the season No. 19 on the Order of Merit.

• Neuquen Argentina Classic: A week after winning, was again in the top 10, firing a final-round 66 to move up 25 spots into a T10 with five others at Chapelco GC.
• Termas de Rio Hondo Invitational: Played superb golf all week at Rio Hondo GC, shooting four rounds in the 60s, including a final-round 64 that vaulted him from a T12 when the day began into a one-shot win over Mario Beltran and Justin Suh. Birdied four of his final seven holes, but a 17th-hole bogey looked like it would stall his come-from-behind effort. A birdie on 18 allowed him to post the 64 and then he watched as no one could catch him.
• Karibana Cartagena Colombian Open: Played well in Colombia in August, finishing solo second at TPC Cartagena, three strokes behind winner Augusto Nunez. Eagled the 72nd hole to narrow Nunez’s winning margin and pass Bogota’s Camilo Auguado, to finish second by himself.
