2021 Season

Earned Forme Tour status by finishing eighth on the final PGA TOUR University rankings. Three months after leaving college, earned 2022 Korn Ferry Tour membership after a solid first professional season. Made six cuts in his eight Forme Tour appearances, posting a win and two additional top-10s to close the campaign fifth on the Points List.

• Forme Open at TPC River's Bend: Opened with an 8-under 64 at TPC River’s Bend and closed with a 66—adding a pair of 69s in the middle rounds—to T9 in suburban Cincinnati.
• Bolingbrook Golf Club Invitational: Won a professional event in only his third career start, taking the second-round lead at Bolingbrook GC in July. Shot a third-round 63 to open a five-shot bulge with 18 holes to play. Moved seven strokes ahead midway through his final round before three consecutive bogeys trimmed his advantage to two strokes. Rebounded and closed in style, making a 12-foot birdie putt on his final hole to defeat Joey Savoie by three strokes.
