The following year, 1997, was his first down year on Tour, he finished 146th on the money list, only good enough to retain part-time status on Tour. In 1998, he finished 132nd on the money list but got his Tour card for the following year by going through qualifying school for the second time. In 1999, he struggled to finish in the top 125 again and earned his Tour card through qualifying school for the third time.
