CURRENT YEAR HIGHLIGHTS
- Fortox Colombia Classic: Kept his string of top-10 finishes alive, posting his seventh consecutive, with a T10 at Ruitoque G&CC in Bucaramanga in mid-June. Opened and closed with a pair of 64s to tie with Roland Massimino.
- Volvo Golf Championship by Seguros del Estado: Had another hard-luck finish, this time outside Bogota, Colombia, in early June. Was tied for the lead through 16 holes then missed a two-foot par putt on No. 17 at Club El Rincon of Cajica to drop back a stroke. Had a chance to force a playoff at No. 18 but missed his 20-foot effort from the fringe. Did move into the No. 1 position on the Totalplay Cup for the first time all season.
- Jalisco Open GDL: Had another top-five finish but still felt disappointment after holding the 54-hole lead at Atlas CC in Guadalajara in late-May. Recorded four under-par rounds, but a pair of late bogeys, on the 13th and 14th holes Sunday, knocked him from contention. Finished T3 with Myles Creighton and Kevin Velo, four shots behind winner José de Jesús Rodríguez.
- Quito Open: Held a share of the 54-hole lead at Quito Tennis and GC in early May after opening 65-68-67. Playing with Manav Shah and Joel Thelen in the final group, managed a 4-under 68 Sunday but watched a Shah fired a 66 to pull away for the late win. Finished T2 with Thelen.
- Diners Club Peru Open presented by Volvo: Made his seventh consecutive cut to begin the season and posted his fifth top-10. Fired a final-round, 1-under 71 at Los Inkas GC to finish T3 with Rafael Becker, seven shots behind runaway winner José Toledo in early May.
- JHSF Aberto do Brasil: Finished alone in eighth at Fazenda Boa Vista. Was unable to mount a Sunday charge, shooting an even-par 71 in Porto Feliz that left him at 13-under.
- 90 Abierto del Centro memorial Eduardo Gato Romero ptdo por Telecom: During a difficult scoring week in Cordoba, managed to finish the tournament at even-par in early April, thanks to a final-round, 2-under 69 at Cordoba GC. Finished the event T5, with Cristobal Del Solar, Tim Widing, Leandro Marelli, John Hill and Nicolo Galletti.
- Estrella del Mar Open 2022: Opened with a pair of 67s, fired a third-round 69 and then closed with a 65 at Estrella del Mar Golf & Beach in Mazatlan in mid-February to T2 with Cristobal Del Solar, three shots behind winner Matt Ryan. Appeared to be making a late rally, with an eagle at No. 16, but a bogey on the next hole ended his chances. Played No. 16 in 6-under for the week.
- Scotia Wealth Management Chile Open presented by Volvo: Shot a pair of 68s surrounded by opening and closing 71s at Sport Frances GC in mid-December to T9 with seven others.
