2012 Notes: Finished 71st on the money list and 70th in the FedExCup rankings. Recorded just one top 10, a T9th at the Open Championship.

2013 Notes: Made the cut in nine of 19 starts, with a runner-up finish at the Honda Classic his lone top-10 showing. Season ended at The Barclays, finishing 104th in the FedExCup standings and 93rd on the money list. Had advanced at least to the 70-player BMW Championship field the previous six seasons. Ended the year in his native Australia, where he fashioned a 67-69 weekend at the Talisker Masters to finish T-7th at Royal Melbourne GC.

2014 Notes: In his first 20 events going into the Barracuda Championship, his best finish was T-11th at the Valero Texas Open, one of only two top-25 results for the year. Thanks to a strong back nine at the Barracuda, in which he finished eagle-birdie-par-par-par-birdie, he won the event which secured a last-minute invite to the PGA Championship. In the FedExCup Playoffs got a bit of good luck. He missed the cut at The Barclays, but was on the number, 100, to play in the Deutsche Bank, where he finished T-2nd. That got him to the final two events, where he finished T-36th at the BMW Championship and 29th at the Tour Championship. Finished the year 29th in the FedExCup rankings and 54th on the money list.
