Early life and amateur career

In 1975, Lunde was born in San Diego, California. [1] He played at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas [1] and was part of the 1998 team that won the NCAA Championship.

Professional career

In 1998, Lunde turned professional.

Lunde played on the Nationwide Tour in 2004, 2005, and 2008. After two years in the Nationwide Tour, in 2005 Lunde gave up on the game and spent a year working in sales with the Las Vegas Founders, the group that ran the PGA Tour stop in Las Vegas, and then tried real estate. [2]

Lunde got back into the game through the Butch Harmon Vegas Tour, where he earned a spot on the Nationwide Tour in 2008. During his 2008 season, he won the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational and finished fifth on the 2008 Nationwide Tour money list, thus earning his PGA Tour card for 2009. In 2010 he won his first PGA Tour event - the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Since his win, Lunde has alternated between the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour.

Lunde has also played on several mini-tours.
