Finished No. 1 in the 2024 PGA TOUR University Ranking after four seasons at Stanford University, following Texas Tech University's Ludvig Åberg (2023) as the second player in history to earn PGA TOUR membership via a No. 1 finish in their respective PGA TOUR University classes.

His mother, Sandra Chiang Thorbjornsen, played golf for Ursuline College. His victory in the 2018 U.S. Junior Amateur was the result of defeating Akshay Bhatia in the championship match.

He finished tied for 41st in his PGA Championship debut in 2025 at Quail Hollow. Has used a 10-finger grip nearly his entire career; he tried overlap, but it made him feel like he had "no control over the club," and when he tried interlock it hurt his knuckles.

Reached as high as No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Represented the United States in international competition at the 2022 World Amateur Team Championship (Eisenhower Trophy), 2022 Arnold Palmer Cup, 2019 Junior Presidents Cup, and 2018 Junior Ryder Cup.
