BIO
Andrew turned professional in 2011, playing his first year on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2013 where he finished 49th on the money list. He had his first Korn Ferry tour win in 2014 at the WNB Golf Classic, on the way to finishing 8th on the season tour, gaining him his PGA Tour card for the 2014-15 season. He found his first season on the PGA Tour tough however, missing 13 out of 23 cuts and returned to the KFT in 2016. After a steady year, he regained his PGA Tour card in 2017, winning the Panama Claro Championship on the way to another 8th place for the season.
Andrew won his sole PGA Tour title at the Barracuda Championship in 2018. It proved to be a good year in 2018 as Andrew also recorded a 2nd at St Jude Classic and a 4th at the WGC-HSBC Champions. He continued his ascent up the world rankings in 2019 with a 2nd at the Sony Open, 3rd at the Charles Schwab Challenge and a 4th at the Scottish Open on the European Tour.
Significant info
Andrew's daughter was born in March 2019 and he and his wife welcomed their second child in 2020. We expect Andrew to brush 2020 aside and bounceback in 2021.

Trends
Needs to be on form
Andrew’s last three Top-3 finishes on the PGA Tour all came after a Top-20 finish in his previous event so look out for him warming up nicely the week before.
Fast Finisher
Several of his Top-10 finishes have come after a strong final round from off the pace. He can be backed for R4 two balls.
Wind Expert
He performs well in the wind, as can be seen from strong finishes in Scotland, Hawaii, Texas and Puntacana.
Likes it tough
Andrew performs well at events which demand tough scoring, he enjoys firm and fast conditions as this negates his lack of power (see quote below from 2018 Barracuda Championship).
Playoff Record
1-0.
