Lamely won the 2008 Waterloo Open Golf Classic which is the largest golf tournament in Iowa. Lamely went to PGA Tour qualifying school for the first time in 2008 but did not earn his card.

Lamely began the final round eight strokes behind the leader but his final round of 65 was enough to force a playoff. He finished 4th on the money list and earned his 2010 PGA Tour card.
