He was a two-time Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and in his sophomore year earned all-America honors when he finished 10th individually at the [2011 NCAA Championship](/source/2011_NCAA_Division_I_Men's_Golf_Championship).

He finished T-130 in [Web.com Tour](/source/Web.com_Tour) [Q-school](/source/Q-school), but never got to play a Web.com Tour event due to his finish in Q School and limited status. In the summer of 2014, he made it into the [FedEx St. Jude Classic](/source/FedEx_St._Jude_Classic) through [Monday qualifying](/source/Monday_qualifying), finishing tied for 13th place, at 5-under-par. Cook has played on the Adams Pro Tour. His career earnings as of April 1, 2015 were over $100k.[5] In April 2015, Cook made it into the [Shell Houston Open](/source/Shell_Houston_Open) through the Monday qualifier, finding himself in contention in short order. With a 4-under-par 68 on Thursday, Cook made a strong close on Friday, with four consecutive birdies to win a spot in the final group along with [Andrew Putnam](/source/Andrew_Putnam) and [Phil Mickelson](/source/Phil_Mickelson).[6] On Saturday of the tournament, *Golfweek* said Cook "did not fold under the pressure of playing alongside Phil Mickelson," and carded a 2-under 70 as he headed into Sunday's final round one off of [Jordan Spieth](/source/Jordan_Spieth)'s lead,[7] tied for second place at 203 with first-round leader [Scott Piercy](/source/Scott_Piercy) and [Johnson Wagner](/source/Johnson_Wagner). On the final day, Cook finished at −10 and tied for 11th, one position short of automatic entry into the [Zurich Classic of New Orleans](/source/Zurich_Classic_of_New_Orleans), the next full-field PGA Tour event. His earnings for the tournament were $135,000.[8] At the 2015 [Barbasol Championship](/source/Barbasol_Championship), Cook Monday qualified his way to a T6 finish. That gave him entry into the [RBC Canadian Open](/source/RBC_Canadian_Open), where he finished T7. Cook earned enough non-member [FedEx Cup](/source/FedEx_Cup) points to qualify for the 2015 [Web.com Tour Finals](/source/Web.com_Tour_Finals).[9][10] He ended the Finals 51st among players who had not earned their cards through the regular season, one place short of full Web.com Tour status and avoiding Q School.
