Currently 98th on the PGA Tour money list and with a single event remaining on the 2010 schedule, Delaet has secured his card for the 2011 season.

Delaet had an impressive Fall Series finishing T5 (Viking Classic), T25 (McGladrey Classic), T6 (Frys.com Open) and T18 (Justin Timberlake Shriners Open). Earlier this year Graham finished T3 at the Shell Houston Open, the best showing of any Canadian on Tour in 2010.
