Did he actually play chess competitively at all?

There are three games from the Somerset Open, 1992 in MegaBase 2022.

How likely is that to be accurate when:
  • The source is ChessBase
  • It was an event in America
  • The USCF has no record in their rating database of the event taking place with the players named
  • ChessBase says he's American
  • He has a win against a 2295 rated opponent and a draw against a 2300 rated opponent despite having no other records of having played tournaments
