Claimed his first European Tour victory at the 2015 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, thanks to a fine birdie on the 72nd hole to finish one stroke clear of compatriot Matt Kuchar.

Won the coveted Players Championship on the PGA Tour in 2015, one of four PGA Tour victories, and at the beginning of 2016 claimed the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship for his second European Tour title.

Became the first player in the modern era to finish in the top five in all four Major Championships in a single season without winning one in 2014.

The closest he came to breaking his Major duck was in 2014 at the Open Championship, where he finished two shots behind his close friend and former Walker Cup opponent Rory McIlroy.
