Encyclopedia
William Chesney "Chez" Reavie (born November 12, 1981) is an American
professional golfer
.
Reavie was born in Wichita, Kansas
. He played collegiately at Arizona State University
.
Reavie was a rookie member of the PGA Tour
in 2008. He finished 18th on the money list on the Nationwide Tour
in 2007 to earn his card. He played on the Nationwide Tour from 2005 through 2007. On July 27, 2008, Reavie won the 2008 RBC Canadian Open. The win, his first on the PGA Tour, earned him $900,000 and a two-year exemption to remain on the Tour. Knee surgery limited Reavie in 2010 and he began the 2011 season on a major medical exemption where he had thirteen events to keep his Tour Card. Reavie did not earn enough to retain full tour privileges, but by merely making the cut at the 2011 Memorial Tournament (the final start of his exemption), he earned conditional status for the rest of 2011. Reavie still managed to play in 22 events, making 15 cuts, and placing high enough to earn a spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs. His earnings of over one million dollars prior to the FedEx Cup secured his 2012 Tour Card. He nearly won his first event in over three years at the 2011 Deutsche Bank Championship
, but had problems on the 18th hole before losing to Webb Simpson
on the second playoff hole.
