Won in only the fifth start of his rookie DP World Tour season, claiming the ISPS Handa Vic Open in dramatic fashion, finishing birdie-par-eagle to erase a three shot deficit and win outright.

Claimed his maiden HotelPlanner Tour victory just seven months earlier, on home soil, at the SSE Scottish Hydro Challenge hosted by Macdonald Hotels and Resorts in 2018, and went on to graduate to the DP World Tour by finishing inside the top 15 in the HotelPlanner Tour rankings that year.

First joined the HotelPlanner Tour in 2014 after a successful amateur career, where he became Scottish Boys champion once and Scottish Amateur champion twice, before joining the paid ranks in 2013.
