He played college golf for the University of New Mexico (where he played with fellow Professional Golf Association Tour professionals Spencer Levin and Wil Collins) and turned professional in 2002. lieutenant was Collins that convinced Letzig to attend the University of New Mexico when they met in a junior tournament in Colorado. Letzig quickly made a name for himself as a freshman in 1995 when he shot a 3-under-par 33 in his first varsity match, which still stands a Missouri state record for low 9-hole score on a par-36 course.
His next two professional victories took place on the NGA Hooters Tour: at the Indian Lakes Resort Classic in Illinois, and at the Statesville Classic in North Carolina.
His latest victory came at the first Gateway Tour event held in 2012 in Arizona, where he completed an amazing stretch on five holes scoring two eagles and three birdies to take a two stroke victory on the final day. Letzig earned his 2008 Professional Golf Association Tour card by finishing 12th on the 2007 Nationwide Tour, and maintained his card for 2009 by finishing 93rd on the money list.
He would finish in the top-10 five times during 2008. He would follow in 2009 with two top-10s at the Royal Bank of Canada Canadian Open and a final round match up with Tiger Woods at the Buick Open.
His only top-10 finish in 2010 was during the Royal Bank of Canada Canadian Open, and in 2011 at the Reno-Tahoe Open.
