In May 2014, he won his first professional tournament, the Web.com Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am, by one stroke over fellow rookie Jonathan Randolph, earning $117,000. He earned his PGA Tour card for the 2014-15 season by finishing 17th on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list.

“Had a few caddies hit me up recently hoping to team up.” They’ve heard they have weekends off, which is evidently a big selling feature.”
