Professional career edit

The following year he won two tournaments, the Ben Hogan Wichita Charity Classic and the Ben Hogan Utah Classic while recording nine top-10 finishes en route to a 6th-place finishes on the money list, good enough to earn his PGA Tour card. He struggled in his rookie year on Tour but retained his card through qualifying school. He recorded his best finish on the PGA Tour in 1994 at the GTE Byron Nelson Golf Classic when he finished in a tie for eighth. He split time between the PGA and Nationwide Tour in 1995.
