CURRENT YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

• The Invitational at Auburn University Club (LOCALiQ Series): Turned in a strong closing round in the inaugural LOCALiQ Series tournament, firing a 10-under 62 with two bogeys to defeat Hayden Shieh by four shots. Facing a third-shot approach on his final hole of the tournament, holed out from 122 yards for eagle for the final victory margin. Jumped into contention with a second-round 64 and was one of six players at The GC of Georgia to shoot three rounds in the 60s. Won $16,000 and jumped to the early lead in The Race to The Bahamas Points Standings.
• The Championship at Echelon Golf Club (LOCALiQ Series): Made it two wins in as many weeks in Alpharetta, adding a victory at Echelon GC. Like at the Alpharetta Classic, began the final round trailing—this time three shots shy of 36-hole leader Alejandro Tosti. Following a 69-65 start, played bogey-free golf on the final day—and no bogeys over his last 27 holes—to eventually catch and pass Tosti. Made birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 to post at 16-under. Watched as Tosti struggled coming in and eventually defeated Tosti, Raul Pereda and Isaiah Salinda by two shots.
