Was nudged to 27th, a mere $1,067 out of the 25th spot. In the Web.com Tour Finals, the Portland form did not carry over. Made the cut in three of the four events, posting a T-21st and pair of T-52nds.

Put an exclamation point on the week with a bogey-free, 7-under 65 in the final round to win by four shots over Greg Owen and Luke List at 20-under 268. With the win, became the 4th player in the previous six years to make the Sanderson Farms Championship his first PGA Tour win and third consecutive, joining Nick Taylor in 2014 and Peter Malnati in 2015.
