He was a rookie on the European Tour in 1994 and two years later he had his best season, winning the Turespana Masters and finishing thirtieth on the European Tour Order of Merit. He won his second European Tour title at the 2002 Madeira Island Open, but he has sometimes struggles to hold on to his card, and in 2006 dropped down to the second tier Challenge Tour.
