Career Highlights

2022 Season

Secured a return to the PGA TOUR via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. Points leader among the 25 players who earned TOUR cards via The Finals 25 off the strength of his win at the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron, but finished behind Justin Suh (earned TOUR card via regular season) on the Korn Ferry Tour Finals Eligibility Points List. Closed the regular season with back-to-back T5s, vaulting him to No. 33 on the Korn Ferry Tour Regular Season Eligibility Points List and into the Korn Ferry Tour Finals.

• Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron: Coming off back-to-back T5 finishes, closed with an 8-under 63 and earned a spot in a three-man playoff with MJ Daffue and Philip Knowles, which saw Gordon two-putt for par and earn his first career victory at the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron. Entered the final round seven strokes off the 54-hole lead and posted the largest final-round comeback victory since Seth Reeves erased an eight-stroke final-round deficit at the 2020 Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Aetna. Gordon’s victory ensured him a spot in The Finals 25 and a return to the PGA TOUR.
• Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Aetna: Fell just short of the finish required to move into The 25 and secure a PGA TOUR card, as he settled for his second consecutive T5 at 14-under 270 at the Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Aetna.
• Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank: Recorded a trio of 5-under 66s, including one in the final round, and totaled 19-under 265 for T5 at the Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank.
• Live and Work in Maine Open: One of two players in the field who recorded four rounds in the 60s en route to 14-under 270 and a T3, his second top-four finish in a stretch of three starts, at the Live and Work in Maine Open.
• REX Hospital Open: Finished solo-fourth, a career-high finish on the Korn Ferry Tour, at 15-under 269 with rounds of 68-68-67-66 at the REX Hospital Open.
• LECOM Suncoast Classic: Tallied his first career top-10 on the Korn Ferry Tour with rounds of 65-68-70-66 to total a 15-under 269 for T6 at the LECOM Suncoast Classic.

Recorded two top-10s and earned enough non-member FedExCup points to secure membership for the 2020-21 season via the Top 125 Non-Member category. Accepted Special Temporary Membership for the remainder of the season following a T3 at the Travelers Championship, his best result of the season. Made seven cuts in 11 starts. Led the PGA TOUR in Bounce Back (31.33%).

• Players Cup: Made 13 birdies during the second round at Southwood G&CC on his way to a 61, setting the course record by two strokes. Made eight birdies in a nine-hole stretch, from Nos. 9-17, and his attempt for 59 from just off the green on No. 18 came within inches of going in the hole. Ended his week with a final-round 67 to T4 with Paul Barjon and Jared Wolfe, at 12-under.
• 1932byBateman Open: Led after the second and third rounds at Edmonton CC after opening the tournament with back-to-back 64s. Made 16 birdies and an eagle in the process. Despite a third-round 73, finished T3 alongside Ian Holt and Ryan Ruffels.
