Only recorded three top-10s but each was a podium finish, finishing runner-up twice and solo-third to complete the trio. One of four members of the inaugural PGA TOUR University Class of 2021 who earned a PGA TOUR card through the Korn Ferry Tour in 2022. Ranked second on Tour in total driving and finished 22nd in the all-around ranking.

• Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr Pepper: Carded four rounds of 4-under par or better, including a 7-under 65 in the opening round, and totaled 22-under 266 for T2, his third runner-up finish in his 24th career Korn Ferry Tour start, at the Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr Pepper.
• Wichita Open Benefitting KU Wichita Pediatrics: Recorded his second consecutive top-five finish at the Wichita Open Benefitting KU Wichita Pediatrics, following 2021’s T5 with a solo-third.

• Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation: Held the outright 54-hole lead after he carded the lowest score of the third round, a 5-under 67, but only made two birdies in the final round and missed an 11-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole which would have forced a playoff with Brent Grant.
