He was named Big 12 Player of the Year, made the Ben Hogan Award watch list, and joined the All-Nicklaus Team. His junior year brought five tournament wins — the Nike Golf Collegiate Invitational, the Arizona Intercollegiate, the John A. Burns Intercollegiate, the Lamkin Classic, and the Augusta Invitational — making him a repeat Big 12 Player of the Year and a Fred Haskins Award winner.
