Seven years later, at the 2008 Frys.com Open at the Greyhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, Beckman shot a final round 63 to force a playoff against Kevin Sutherland. Beckman won the tournament with a par on the second playoff hole to get his second PGA Tour win and secure his card for the 2009 and 2010 PGA Tour seasons. He earned his third PGA Tour title at the 2010 Mayakoba Golf Classic with a two-stroke win over 54-hole leader Joe Durant and Tour rookie Brian Stuard. Beckman finished with a three-under-par 67. The event was held at the Mayakoba Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.{{cite news |title=Cameron Beckman wins Mayakoba Golf Classic |newspaper=The Los Angeles Times |date=February 22, 2010 |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-feb-22-la-sp-newswire22-2010feb22-story.html |access-date=March 25, 2011 |archive-date=November 6, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106034900/http://articles.latimes.com/2010/feb/22/sports/la-sp-newswire22-2010feb22 |url-status=live }}
