Lane's career culminated with a win at the 1998 New Zealand Open championship, which was held at Formosa Golf Resort.

Without playing privileges on any of the major professional golf tours, he did not intend on attending the New Zealand Open that year.

It was only after his father paid for his airfair to travel to New Zealand that Lane decided to attend.

Over the years he has had two cornea transplant surgeries, one of which was so bad it forced him to stop playing competitive professional golf in 2001.

[4] Lane currently resides in Agoura Hills, California where he teaches golf at the Lindero Country Club.
