Early life

Uresti was born in Austin, Texas. He attended the University of Texas in Austin and graduated in 1991 with a degree in organizational communication. He turned professional immediately after graduating.

Professional career

Uresti has two wins on the Web.com Tour: one in 1994 at the Nike Shreveport Open, and one in 2007 at the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship. Uresti went winless in over 350 PGA Tour starts, with two third-place finishes. He says his biggest accomplishment as a golfer was making a professional record nine consecutive birdies in a round on the Nationwide Tour. After his PGA Tour career ended, he became a life member of the Southern Texas chapter of the PGA.

Uresti has had success in the PGA Professional Championship, winning it twice, in 2017 and 2021, and finishing in the top 20 in 2015, 2016, and 2018, thus qualifying for the PGA Championship in those years. A number of club professionals criticized Uresti after his 2017 win because he was a former touring professional and he did not work full-time as a golf professional. The PGA responded that Uresti was eligible as an A-3 member with more than 20 years of PGA Tour membership.
