He made Big 12 history by becoming only the second player to win consecutive individual conference titles, a feat highlighted by a dramatic 72nd-hole birdie to secure his first win as a freshman. His sophomore campaign featured a shared victory at the Cabo Collegiate, a third-place finish at the NCAA Championship, and a dominant match-play performance where he defeated the individual national champion Michael La Sasso. He also twice matched the school's 18-hole scoring record with a pair of 62s.
Beyond the collegiate circuit, his amateur career is highlighted by high-stakes victories and international representation. In 2025, he claimed medalist honors at the U.S. Amateur and secured an eight-shot victory at the Northeast Amateur, where he tied the course record with a 61. He played a pivotal role for the victorious 2025 U.S. Walker Cup team, providing the match-deciding point, and represented the U.S. in the Arnold Palmer Cup and World Amateur Team Championship. A decorated junior golfer, he also joined Jordan Spieth as the only three-time winner of the Byron Nelson Junior Championship, showcasing a consistent ability to perform at elite levels before even arriving at OSU.
