CURRENT YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

• Classic at The Club at Weston Hills (LOCALiQ Series): Fired three consecutive 67s at The Club at Weston Hills in early October to come from behind on the final day to win by two strokes over Andreas Halvorsen. Began the final round trailing by three shots and was only even-par through his first eight holes. Made a 25-foot birdie putt from just off the green on No. 9, a birdie that propelled him over his final nine holes. Made three more birdies, including the 10-foot putt at No. 16 that ultimately gave him a lead he wouldn’t relinquish. With a one-shot lead on the par-5 18th, laid up and then hit his third-shot approach to six feet from the pin. Made that for birdie, earning 500 points for the title. In addition, pocketed $20,000, an additional $4,000 more than the traditional winner’s share because of an elevated purse.
