start (third career major start) at the PGA at Oak Hill CC in Rochester, NY. First player since John Daly (1991) to capture
first PGA TOUR event at PGA. Jumped from 169th to 46th in the Official World Golf Ranking with the win. Held the lead outright
after 36 holes and shared the lead with Chad Campbell through 54 holes. Playing 72nd hole with a one-shot lead, rifled 7-iron
from 175 yards to within inches of the hole for a memorable birdie and a two-stroke victory over Campbell. Finished week 4-under-par
with rounds of 69-68-69-70--276 and a $1,080,000 payday...Earned top-10s in back-to-back starts for the first time in his

Career Highlights |
2002: Two top-10s nearly matched the three he had in his first 111 events on TOUR and one of those, a T3 at the B.C. Open,
was the best previous finish of his career. Held a share of the lead through the first 54 holes, but carded a 2-over-par 74
on Sunday, with bogeys on two final holes, to finish T3 behind winner Spike McRoy. Finish was first top-10 since T5 at the
2000 Invensys Classic at Las Vegas. 2001: T13 at Qualifying School to retain TOUR card following season. 2000: Enjoyed his
best season on the PGA TOUR thanks to a then-career-high three top-10s and four top-25s...After earning only $35,689 as a
professional in 43 PGA TOUR events prior to 2000, nearly cracked the top 100 in earnings with $467,431 (No. 104) in 31 events.
1999: Earned his first Nationwide Tour title at the Greensboro Open, edging Garrett Willis by one stroke. Was three strokes
back of Willis with three holes to play in the final round but played the last three holes in 1-under par while Willis played
them in 3-over. 1996: T9 at PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament to regain his TOUR card. 1993: Earned first TOUR card with T37
