He attended the [University of Texas](/source/University_of_Texas) in Austin and graduated in 1991 with a degree in organizational communication. He turned professional immediately after graduating. ## Professional career Uresti has two wins on the [Web.com Tour](/source/Web.com_Tour): one in 1994 at the [Nike Shreveport Open](/source/Nike_Shreveport_Open), and one in [2007](/source/2007_Nationwide_Tour) at the [Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship](/source/Livermore_Valley_Wine_Country_Championship). Uresti went winless in over 350 [PGA Tour](/source/PGA_Tour) starts, with two third-place finishes. He says his biggest accomplishment as a golfer was making a professional record nine consecutive birdies in a round on the Nationwide Tour. After his PGA Tour career ended, he became a life member of the Southern Texas chapter of the PGA. Uresti has had success in the [PGA Professional Championship](/source/PGA_Professional_Championship), winning it twice, in 2017 and 2021, and finishing in the top 20 in 2015, 2016, and 2018, thus qualifying for the [PGA Championship](/source/PGA_Championship) in those years. A number of club professionals criticized Uresti after his 2017 win because he was a former touring professional and he did not work full-time as a golf professional. The PGA responded that Uresti was eligible as an A-3 member with more than 20 years of PGA Tour membership.[1] ## Professional wins (9) ### Sunshine Tour wins (1) No. Date Tournament Winning score Margin of victory Runner-up 1 Feb 6, 1994 Hollard Royal Swazi Sun Classic −14 (65-73-68-68=274) 2 strokes Andrew Pitts ### Nationwide Tour wins (2) No. Date Tournament Winning score Margin of victory Runner(s)-up 1 Apr 24, 1994 Nike Shreveport Open −18 (65-71-63-71=270) Playoff Pat Bates 2 Apr 1, 2007 Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship E (69-69-74-76=288) 2 strokes Skip Kendall, Aron Price **Nationwide Tour playoff record (1–0)** No. Year Tournament Opponent Result 1 1994 Nike Shreveport Open Pat Bates Won with birdie on sixth extra hole ### Canadian Tour wins (1) No. Date Tournament Winning score Margin of victory Runners-up 1 Mar 20, 2005 Barton Creek Austin Challenge −16 (63-73-63-65=264) 5 strokes Derek Gillespie, Rob McMillan ### Other wins (4) - 2015 [Southern Texas PGA Championship](/source/Southern_Texas_PGA_Championship) - 2017 [PGA Professional Championship](/source/PGA_Professional_Championship) - 2018 [Southern Texas PGA Championship](/source/Southern_Texas_PGA_Championship) - 2021 [PGA Professional Championship](/source/PGA_Professional_Championship) ### Senior wins (1) - 2020 Senior PGA Professional Championship ## Results in major championships Tournament 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 U.S. Open T45 T101 CUT CUT PGA Championship Tournament 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 U.S. Open CUT T75 PGA Championship Tournament 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 U.S. Open PGA Championship CUT CUT T73 CUT Tournament 2019 2020 2021 PGA Championship CUT U.S. Open   Did not play CUT = missed the half-way cut "T" = tied for place *Note: Uresti only played in the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open.* ## Results in senior major championships Tournament 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Senior PGA Championship T72 NT CUT T50 CUT T51 The Tradition NT U.S. Senior Open NT T55 T42 Senior Players Championship Senior British Open Championship NT CUT CUT   Did not play "T" indicates a tie for a place CUT = missed the halfway cut NT = no tournament due to [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) ## U.S. national team appearances - [PGA Cup](/source/PGA_Cup): 2015, 2017, 2022 (winners) ## See also - [1994 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates](/source/1994_PGA_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates) - [1995 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates](/source/1995_PGA_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates) - [2003 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates](/source/2003_PGA_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates) - [2004 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates](/source/2004_PGA_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates) - [2007 Nationwide Tour graduates](/source/2007_Nationwide_Tour_graduates) - [2009 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates](/source/2009_PGA_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates) - [List of male golfers](/source/List_of_male_golfers) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Strege, John (June 26, 2017).
