After shooting 37-over par combined in the UNM Tucker and the Pepperdine Club Glove, he played Stanford’s The Nelson and The Prestige At PGA West even par. He tied for 18th at The Nelson, carding a 1-under 212, and tied for 14th at The Prestige with a 1-over 217.
2002-03 (Jr.): He became a regular member of the traveling squad for the first time and finished third on the team in stroke average with a 75.03 mark. He averaged 75.2 for five spring meets, finishing in the top 48 in four of those with his best effort a 30th place tie in CU’s Stevinson Ranch Invitational (223, including a final round 70, one of the best third rounds in the meet). He posted his two collegiate career best finishes in the fall, with a career best effort in placing seventh at Kansas State’s Jim Colbert Invitational (thanks to a final round 72 for a 226 total), along with a 23rd place finish at Stanford’s The Nelson (216, +3). His opening round 68 (3-under) in Cal-Berkeley’s MacKenzie Invitational still stands as his best collegiate round to date. He ended the fall on an even a higher note, as he was one of just a handful of players to go undefeated (3-0-0) in the inaugural GCAA Match Play Championships.
2001-02 (Soph): He played in four meets on the year, three in the spring, never really getting untracked as all nine of his rounds were between 77 and 80. In his one fall tournament, when he tied for 51st in the Washington Husky Invitational, he was in the top 20 heading into the final round (75-74?149), but shot 85 the last day to finish with a 234 total.
2000-01 (Fr.-RS): He saw action in four tournaments, three in the fall, with his best effort a pair of 72s for a four-over par 144 total and 22nd place finish in the Colorado State Ram Invitational. He played as an individual in CU’s Stevinson Ranch Invitational, and after an opening round 85, he settled in with scores of 76 and 73 to tie for 26th with a 234 total. He had a 76.82 average for 11 rounds overall, but owned an impressive 74.75 final round average.

As a junior, he was 26th in the state meet, carding a 76-80?156 at Collindale Golf Club in Fort Collins, leading Longmont to its first appearance in the state championships in 11 years.

He teamed with his brother to place third in the Colorado Two-Man Championship, tied for 21st in the Colorado Stroke Play championship (306) and tied for the seventh low amateur in the Colorado Open (74-72-72-76?294). 2001: He captured his second straight Longmont City Championship, carding a 70-67-77?214 total at Ute Creek Golf Course, but needing a win on the first playoff hole over Nick Babl to claim the title. He was third in the Ute Creek Invitational (68-76?144), and placed ninth in the Colorado Public Links championship, shooting the second lowest score (2-under) in the final round to close with a 76-73-70?219 effort. A 75-74-74-73?296 scorecard at the Colorado State Stroke Play Championship tied him for 19th overall, the best finish by any Buff in the ’01 event. He tied for the 11th low amateur at the Colorado Open, but his accomplishment there was coming back with a second round 67 after an opening 79 to make the cut; he had a 79-67-71-71?292 scorecard for the event. He had rounds of 73 and 80 in the local U.S. Amateur qualifying but missed advancing out of Colorado. 2000: He finished third in the Colorado Public Links Championship, turning in a 73-70-65?208 performance at Hyland Hills Golf Course in Westminster (teammate Ben Portie won with a 200 total, but he was just one out of second).
