He lost the RBC Canadian Open playoff to Nick Taylor, but he still made history in 2023 by becoming the first person to shoot multiple final round scores of 63 in U.S. Open history. However, he won the inaugural Dubai Invitational and tied for third place at the Masters with Collin Morikawa and Max Homa, recording his best finish of the event.
