Received his start in golf from his grandfather. Had to skip the 1999 PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament when his son, Jackson, was born 10 weeks early, weighing 2 pounds, 6 ounces. Lists his son as his hero. Says winning the 1995 NCAA Championship as his biggest thrill in golf. Five career holes-in-one during competitive rounds, including one at the 2005 Knoxville Open on the Nationwide Tour. He and his wife were next-door neighbors growing up. |
